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.
Great for odour control, clumping & limiting dustiness
A great cat litter for our 2 cats. Clumps well, limits odours, no dusty. Package says it doesn’t have to be changed for up to 7 weeks, which seems ridiculous- but a great product!

Poor packaging
My cats like this litter, but I am very disappointed with the packaging. The huge 40L bag had been put into a cardboard box with another item I had ordered. The weight of the bag of litter during transit broke the second item. This, in turn, tore open the paper bag the litter was in, and the litter was all over the place when I opened the cardboard box. I had to find an alternative container for the litter and then scoop all the contents from the torn bag into the new container. Not good enough.

best litter you can get
Used most other litters in my time - even value ones. This litter is just fantastic - been using this one now for years and converted many owners to it, lasts for ages, no smells, so easy to clean and most of all - safe for my twins - try it and see !!!
Shaz
Very good litter does what it says on the bag, got two adult cats and a kitten, one maine coon which doesn't make a mess, and two maine coon /Ragdoll cross, which does stick to he's furr and gets it all over the floor which have always having to clean up, was thinking about changing this litter, but as this is good litter I will still be using it, as it's cheaper than other cat litter.

Perfect for us
It clumps well and doesn’t create much dust. If you clean the litter box regularly, it doesn’t smell. Some gets carried out on their paws, but with daily sweeping around the toilet, it’s not a problem. Our cats don’t like scented litter, so this is perfect for them.

I always buy it. Good price.
It's just a shame that zooplus packs it in a big box. It would easily fit in a slightly smaller one if the top packaging was bent. And it makes a difference to me, because I prefer to collect my deliveries from the parcel locker.

It's not the same anymore
I’ve seen that other people have had the same experience as me.
I bought it for two years, it was really excellent.
For months now, it’s not the same anymore.
It DOESN’T CLUMP anymore.
As for the smell, unfortunately I’ll have to try again because I bought a similar one, but the bad odour isn’t neutralised.

Lately, it gives off dust
I've always used this litter and been really happy with it, but lately it's been giving off loads of dust. Even when I scoop it, I end up coughing from all the dust—imagine what it's like for the cats. I'm thinking about switching to a different one.

Brilliant
I've been using this litter for a few months now and honestly I don't regret it at all, it's really great. Plus, with a big bag I can fill five litter trays and still have some left over, so it's really good when you have several cats.

Dusty
The sand is very dusty, which is a shame because it goes a long way and clumps well.

Almost dust-free but clumping is mediocre
I previously used cat litter from Lidl and wanted a low-dust option. I'm very happy with this cat litter because it's quite low in dust and absorbs odours well.
However, I'm unsure about the quality of its clumping. It does form clumps, but the pee clumps break apart when I try to clean the litter box. The pee stays fairly wet, which is annoying because it leaves small bits of litter behind that already contain pee. As a result, the litter needs to be replaced more often.

Cat litter
The litter is fantastic, really efficient, clumps instantly, doesn’t get all sticky, and the bottom of the tray stays clean. I’ll only be ordering this one from now on.

The best
Our favourite: it lasts a long time, doesn’t leave dust everywhere (like the stone one), clumps well...
Negatives: it sticks quite a bit—leaves marks and it’s a bit pricey.

Very good cat litter
Great cat litter, the cats are happy, it clumps nicely and smells like wood. The pieces used to be a bit bigger, so now they spread it around the flat more, but it's still good and much better than the original bentonite one.

Excellent!
I've been using this litter since 2011 and it allows me to avoid bad smells in the house because I can flush it down the toilet. It's odourless so it doesn't bother me, and it doesn't contain any toxic substances for my pets. Finally, it's clumping and absorbent.
