Great Cat Litter

I have been trying all sorts of ecological cat litter but the downsides have been that they haven't been absorbant (not clumping), they tread all over the place (clay) and are really heavy (clay) and don't decompose very quickly (clay). However, I have found this wonderful. It is a really good clumping litter, minimal tracking and it stays odour free for at least 4-5 weeks with two cats using it (one with kidney and the other pre-diabetes - so lots of use!). I am buying it again.

Great litter!

The clumping is great, smells are almost completely abated, and it lasts a long time. 4 of my 5 cats use it without issue. The 5th is a bit special, so it’s not the litters fault.

Disappointed

Been using this for years now but the last few purchases have been really disappointing. Very find sawdust particles within the larger particles is to be expected but ive practically had 2 large litter trays of predominantly the sawdust stuff. Doesnt seem to like clumping any more either. Guess it's time to try a different brand 😕

This is our first cat Russian Blue we have used this litter for a year now.I get the 30ltr bag or the 40 with the 20 combined. It's cheap and lasts well with no smell. Yes it tracks a little but it clumps very well. I lift out wee clumps and poo every night before bed and complete change every two weeks. The cat loves it. It is a bit dusty sometimes but if you drop from height outside the wind blows the dust away. Will continue to use this great product.

Best and most economical cat litter I have tried

This is a great product. Not only is it eco-friendly and all natural, but it is also very economical. My first 30 litre bag has lasted more than 4 weeks already, because you don't need to clear out the whole tray after your cat has used it. Will definitely continue to buy this product and can wholeheartedly recommend it.

I love It!

I've only used two types of litter, clay and this one. It made me realise how little mess this one actually makes in comparison. In love that the waste can be flushed down the toilet, and I only need to do a complete change ever 3/4 weeks as it does indeed stay fresh and it lasts. I've had my large bag for 8 weeks now and I've still got a quarter left.

love the litter but not for my furry Ragdoll.

What a shame! The litter itself was brilliant but had to stop using it after only 2 days as it set into my Ragdolls fur. His lovely belly fuzz was covered and it set in there like concrete, so He wasn't best pleased when we had to cut it alll out! i would still recommend it but for kitties only.

Something's changed?

I used to love this litter and put up with the tracking because the odour control was excellent and it was very economical. Unfortunately the last two bags I got don't seem to be as good. The odour control hasn't been a good which I think is because it's not clumping as well and turning to sawdust very quickly. I have an XL tray and when your having to empty and refill such a big tray every week it gets costly! I hope you fix so I can come back to this brand!

Worth the money

I have only use it 2 days but so far I happy it the best cat litter I try ed

Doesn't clump very well

Get rid of the smell really good and I prefer plant based cat litter. However it tracks a lot and doesn't clump properly which become really messy when I try to scoop out my cat urine. It is really wired that the clumping power is more powerful for the 10l bag and the 40l bag is not that good.

It has changed, won't be buying it again

I used this for several years until it changed around 2010 or thereabouts and there were complaints popping up on reviews. I also had a bad bag, however it reverted back to being good stuff although not as good as OKO Nature Gold which was out of stock recently so bought OKO - it is absolutely useless, may as well have used a bag of sawdust, it turns to mush in the tray and doesn't clump. I am hoping it is just a bad batch but not buying it again as it is terrible.

Bought for years, very good!

Bought the 40 litre version for our 2 kittens as we live 3 floors up and carrying bags of litter up those stairs every week is a no no! The 40 litre lasts us about 3 months, changing it weekly. Never smells unless I'm a little late with changing it. The cats love it and have never had an issue with it, which is why weve bought it again and again for the past year and a half. Will carrying on purchasing! Love it. Would recommend to everyone. ALSO you can flush it down the toilet which is handy!

Wouldn't be without this!

So glad i tried this amazing litter! We are a 2 cat household (one of which is elderley and needs to pee quite a lot) and were previously using Catsan (vile stuff) which we were having to clean out constantly because od the smell and mess! With this litter the pee clumps up after a few minutes making it easy to just scoop out and dispose of. We now have no smell at all coming from the litter tray and i even have to look through the flap every so often to check if theres a sneaky number 2 in there as i can't smell when they've had one!!! Yes it does track a bit but if you have laminate floor it's easy to just sweep or vac up. Also lasts so much longer than catsan or any other brand ive tried, we buy the 20litre bags and lasts us about 3 months so more than worth the money! Couldn't recommend this product more! Will not buy anything else! Zooplus super quick with delivery too!

FANTASTIC LONGEVITY BUT AWFUL TRACKING

A friend recommended this litter as I have 7 cats. I have been really impressed by how much longer this litter lasts when compared to all others I have used. However there is a huge downside - it gets tracked by the cats EVERYWHERE! I have capture mats by each litter tray but it doesn't stop them tracking the litter all over the house. Sadly I will be going back to my old style litter (crystals) which don't last half as long as Oko, but stays were it should be.

Used to be great but not any more

Seems like they've changed the product and now it doesn't clump any more. Now utterly useless. Will be changing to a different brand. Very disappointed.

Disappointed

I was really disappointed with this litter. I've 2 adult females who have both had kittens. I chose this as our bin men have been reluctant to take heavy bags and a,like the idea of bio-degradable. I had thought this would be superior to wood pellets but the mess this makes is awful. Constantly having to get Hoover out. I will be going back to wood pellets even though it doesn't clump as well as this one.

Used to be good, not now

This used to be good - it's not now. It doesn't clump properly and it smells.

Does the job but tracks

This is the first cat litter I tried when my boy was just a kitten. It held odours really well and clumped well so I was quite happy with it. However, like many other people have said, the granules track so easily. I am still finding little bits and pieces in strange places 8 months later.

Just brilliant

Have been using this litter for over 12 months now and would not use anything else. IT'S ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, does tend to tread a bit around the house on cats paws, but no bother to clear up. So easy to clean the trays after use and dispose of, especially in bad weather, no trips to the dustbin. My cat loves it too !!!

It used to be the best litter, definitely not anymore

Our household consists of 6 cats, we have used the product for the last 6 years! We were buying 40l bag each month. Well, not anymore. It was really good quality back in a days, but the last 2 deliveries from Zooplus mark new chapter in our lives. The smell in the house is awful after the night, so the days where there was any odour control are long gone, our cats track the litter everywhere, it just sticks to their paws and fur. Instead of clumping - it turns into very fine dust.

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 dissatisfied, used to be better, doesn't clump properly.

The first ones we bought directly at Fressnapf were of higher quality.

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.
