Oko no more
This has changed. The latest lot seems two toned, and nothing like the last lot. I have severe wastage, it doesn't "clump" into snowballs like previously. It just separates and means I waste a lot. No way does it last as long. I've already had to top up under a week due to wastage. I don't feel the cat likes to use it anymore and will have to seek out another brand now.

Does not clump.
This looks and acts exactly as cheap wooden pellets purchased in B&M for less than a third of the price.
Feel I’ve been mis-sold. Certainly won’t be buying this again. Does not clump, just goes into sawdust Which you can’t seperate from the pellets. Wasteful.
poor product
this cat litter has good clumping capability but I would never purchase this product again as it tracks all over the house and on every surface .Cheaper wood alternatives are better

Disappointing
I have used this cat litter for years - seems to have changed along with the name, now get a mess over the whole house - I did buy another make to try but the cat hasn't used that tray yet. So will have to buy some more of this and hope it was a bad batch. Lets hope the makers read the reviews
Favourite Litter
This is the first time I have ordered this product, favouring wood pellet or silica litter to date. Will definitely re-order. There is very little odour after the cat has used the tray, the litter clumps and can be disposed of easily and there seems to be very little tracking from the tray. Most importantly, my cat is happy to use it. Good value for money too.
Excellent
Excellent stuff wouldn't use anything else

Its changed
I have used this for years . Last order there is a slight difference to it . Not only the name change but the litter itself . Litter seems slightly larger , not so fine as it was. I will buy another to try but if same Ill be changing. Please go back to what it was, smaller granules and less tracking.
Not as good as it used to be
Ive been using Cat's Best Öko Plus for 2-3 years with no issues until of recent. Now its extremely dusty and it tracks like crazy. I find bits all over the house in places it shouldnt be, like on my sofa! Such a shame as a 40l+20l lasts me about 6-8 months but I have to start looking elsewhere now :(

Used to be fantastic - changed the formula now its terrible!
Used for 4 years and always been very happy but the new formula is useless doesn't clump well anymore at all. We/re going to have to swap to another brand - does anyone have any recommendations??
Excelent
This is a regular purchase for our 5 cats, very good odor control, excellent clumping, long lasting.
Convenient
Still the most convenient litter I have come across

So pleased I tried this
This little is brilliant, I cannot believe how long it lasts. A 30L bag has lasted 3 months. I only have one indoor cat but after she has done her business I scoop the clump of urine out into a poo bag and pop it in the bin. Number twos are flushed down the toilet. Then I wipe the area with a antibacterial wipe so the tray rarely needs changing are cleaning. This litter is a godsend when you live in a top floor apartment.
So pleased
Biodegradable is key. No more trips to rubbish for it to go as landfill. So easy to use. No smell & not much tracking through house

Not as good as it was..
I used to use this in the past, and recently ordered, but it has changed, and I don't like it as it seems like cork and doesn't clump as well as it used to.. Please change it to the way it used to be!
Cats best littet
Best litter I've ever used, I tried so many litters for my two cats( ragdoll and moggy) but this is the best one. It stays fresh for longer and there is no need to go out at night to put it in the bin as it's flush down the toilet. Thank you zooplus

Excellent
This litter is excellent, I used catsan for years and Cat's Best is so much better! It lasts longer, the clumping allows you to remove urine as well as faeces and it traps the majority of the odour. Will definitely be continuing to use.
One of the best....
This is my favourite litter for locking in smells... it clumps well and so is easy to clean and lasts AGES even in a multi cat household. The cats like the nice deep lightweight bed to dig about in, however the fact the litter is lightweight means it does track... everywhere ... especially with long haired cats - I find bits on the sofa, on the bed....down the hall.... still stuck in tails, but the cats really do like it so I just get used to hoovering more !

Tracks everywhere
At first I thought this was a great product as it was so light compared to my previous litters. However, I noticed quite quickly that it tracks everywhere, and on top of that, within a short space of time it turns to a type of sawdust consistency which makes it even worse. I am now looking for a better brand that does not have these problems.
Eliminates odour, long-lasting, non-dusty. PERFECT
Highly recommended. We got it mainly for odour control. Works extremely well and making sure there are no nasty smells. Not dusty. Cats like it!
Great smell absorption pity about tracking
I love this product: it's lightweight and absorbs urine smells effectively. It clumps so well that it is relatively economical to use because you're only removing small amounts of soiled litter then adding small amounts of new litter (as opposed to throwing away the whole lot as you end up doing with clay-based litters). As lots of people have mentioned the only major downside is that being lightweight it clings to paws and gets tracked everywhere.

Excellent product
It absorbs pee really well and forms a nice clump.
It also does a great job with odours.
Excellent product.

No dust at all
I love this litter, and so do my pets. There's hardly any dust, but I've noticed that when I buy the same amount split into two bags, it's sandier and creates more dust.

Everything's fine
After reading the reviews, I went with another brand, but I came back and it turned out the reviews were lying. It clumps nicely, the cats like it, there are no problems with it, it doesn’t create dust, and it doesn’t hurt their paws.

Lower quality
I've been using this litter for 4 years, and it was the best quality-wise. I never even tried to compare the price because it suited my needs perfectly.
But the last two bags just aren't the same, it doesn't clump anymore, the litter just spreads everywhere. I'll give it another month, but unfortunately I'll have to give it up.
I have 5 cats -> 3 litter boxes, and cleaning has become more tiring and less efficient.

I'm disappointed with the cat litter
Hello, I've been using this cat litter for over 14 years. Since my last order, I'm really disappointed. The clumps are soaked all the way to the bottom. The clumps are way bigger than I've ever seen before. Obviously, a lot more litter is needed now. Has the product been changed or is it a production error with this batch?

Terrible
I've been using it for a long time, but lately it's just getting worse and worse. It creates a lot of dust, and the litter itself falls apart. I won't be buying it again. I'm really disappointed—I'm having the same issue with the food, it crumbles apart. I'm thinking of buying elsewhere. The quality leaves a lot to be desired.

Terrible!
What a terrible cat litter! It's incredibly dusty! My cat comes out of the litter box short of breath and coughing. The whole house is covered in a white haze. Whenever I scoop the box, a cloud of dust hangs in the air. I've tried many types of litter, but this one is by far the worst.

Worsened quality
The granules have changed to being big and sharp, so now my cats don’t like using the litter box filled with this litter anymore. Even when you step on it yourself, it’s really uncomfortable, so imagine how it feels for a cat’s paws. It’s a pity, because it used to be great.

Has gotten very bad
I've been using this litter for almost 10 years, but the last 3 batches have been a disaster. It smells terrible. I even contacted Cats Best to ask why, but they just said they hadn't changed anything. It's a shame they don't take this seriously.

Totally gone downhill
I've been using this cat litter since 2020, basically since I got my cats. It was recommended to me and I was absolutely thrilled with it. But for several weeks or even months now, I've noticed that it doesn't clump well at all, and the worst part for me is that it starts to smell bad really quickly!! I never had this problem with the litter before. It's such a shame because it's really hard to find a new, good litter.

Very practical, my cats like it
It's really practical for cleaning, since you can put the clumped pee straight into the toilet. After a few minutes, the pee dries and forms a ball, making it easy to remove. My two cats use it without any issues.

Change in composition?
I've been using this cat litter for over a year now for my three Maine Coons and I was always super happy with it. The new bag I ordered now is useless. All the clumps from the pee fall apart straight away when I scoop and end up scattered all over the litter box. Really annoying. I'd like to know if the formula has changed or if it's still the same and I just got unlucky with my 40-litre bag.

Disappointment
Years ago, this was good litter, but the problem is it isn’t anymore. The quality has dropped a lot, it doesn’t even clump or anything now. You’ve lost a customer who used to buy this litter for years, but I just can’t put up with it anymore. Not giving it another chance, it’s terrible, honestly don’t buy it. Anything is better than this.
