Planning ahead is worth it!
I have two housecats & have used lots of different types previously. As long as you plan your litter purchases then it's well worth it: far exceeds anything sold in supermarkets = less cleaning necessary & total value for money.
Nothing better!
This cat litter is unbeatable. Keeps the litter tray clean - if you use enough. My current cat loves it, and my last cat loved it as well. One slight downside - it does track a little, but that is a very small price to pay.

Nothing compares
I've been using this litter for about a month now and wish i had come across this product sooner. It's highly efficient due to the clumping action and the smell of cat business is masked brilliantly. All i can say regarding 'tracking' is that i've not had any problems as i brush my cats regularly and vacuum the carpet around the litter area once a week.

The Best Cat Litter
We have two kittens and decided to try Best Oko Plus - fantastic, odour free and clumps like no other litter we have tried (after it ran out we tried about two other types but they didn't even come close so we have quickly ordered a big bag)! You do get slight tracking but we have ordered a mat to put in front of the litter tray to see if that helps. We wouldn't use any other cat litter now we have been spoilt with this one.

My flat smells better
Now, I can't comment on the odor-fighting properties of this litter. However, the fact that it's flushable means that it get changed more often. So much less hassle!

Great cat litter
We have 6 indoor cats and have used everything from basic value fullers earth clumping litter to catsan non clumping. Having tried this we won't use anything else again. Clumps really well, does seem to last for absolutely ages, the cats love it, it smells fresh all the time - and although it does track a bit, it's not half as annoying as the big white lumps of catsan. Love it love it. Buy this!

Never Buy Any Other
We have 5 cats in our house and this litter is by far the best we have ever tried (and we've tried a few) Once you've tried it you will Never Buy Any Other,I promise you.
You end up simply changing the litter just bacause you feel it's time too,not because of the odour.Trust me.

Norwegian Forest Cat Breeder
I have 8 NFOs at home (a flat) and smelling+dust issues are of primary importance. I can't tell that I have NO smell with Oko, but it is really acceptable and dust is very reduced. It's true that little pieces run through the house, but they are easy to clean, not difficult as the dust. The product clumps much better than usual clumping litter.
Best Litter there is
I love this litter. It is so easy to use, clean and clumps brilliantly. I have found other litters do not clump the pee effectively that enables you to remove it in one clump but this does. I can ensure the cat litter is free from Pee and Poo everyday and it only takes me a couple of minutes. It does track a bit but its a down side that is greatly over shadowed by the good sides. I dont use anything else but this.

Utterly brilliant
Can't give enough praise for this litter. I swapped to it after I read about possible health concerns over clumping litters. This one is natural, flushable, compostable and it clumps. Plus, it has the lovely small grain texture that my fussy boys prefer. Yes, it does end up on the floor (because it's so light - an advantage when lugging the bag around!), but that just means a bit of extra hoovering. Excellent value and excellent results - I'll never go back!

Cattery owner/Vet nurse
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!the best cat litter ever.
This is a great product.
Very little tracking, clumps really well so you have very minimal wastage.
No nasty niffs or pongs,great price as well.
Have never had a cat that refuses to use it.
very reasonably priced
would not use anything else
My Favourite cat litter
As a vet nurse, I have tried most litters on the market over the years and this is my favourite. There is some tracking but this is true of most products and it doesn't mark your floors like some! I would never have used a clumping litter before this. It is hygenic,biodegradable and lasts for ages.Also no litter tray odours. fab.

Just Perfect
I have been using OKO-PLUS for some time now(more than a year) and I think it is great! so do my cats! I have four cats who are all quite fussy,and sometimes six,(when my daughter comes with hers)and even she uses it now.It's perfect in every way, I would never use any other litter,there's no smell,no waste and it's good on the environment, yes there is a bit of tracking I just keep a small dustpan and brush near the trays.
|
great for indoor paws!
used silicate litter, but my two queens disaproved it hurt their paws.I tried everything Tried this litter,they love it!so long as it is deep there’s no nasty smell - EVER!!My cats are good at treading the litter out so I use an electric sweeper each morning, but now use a cat mat in front of the tray.i noticed it on the carpet but its easy to clean up, with my last litter which was fine, I didnt think there was a problem with treading, but actually it got ground into the carpet fibres.

Great value litter, my cats love it.
We've been using this litter for a month now. We have 4 indoor Maine Coons, who are fairly fussy.
This litter really does work as well as it claims. The clumps don't break up when you scoop them out, so you really don't waste any litter at all. Most importantly for me, the odour control is fantastic. There is no ammonia smell, just a very vague hint of pine. It's biodegradable too, so good for the environment!

Wonderful stuff, but tracks through house very badly.
This is the best litter I've used in 20 years - no smell, economical and FLUSHABLE, but it does track badly, and you need to hoover every day. On the plus side, you never throw any unsoiled litter away, just top it up. It seems expensive, I know, but 40l lasts my 3 indoor cats 8 weeks. £2.50 a week for 3 cats who never go out - wonderful value! I'm going to give Cat's Best a try as a friend tells me it's just as good as Okoplus, but, being in pellet form, hardly tracks at all.

Fantastic product
Quite new to looking after cats but I am very impressed with this product. Really economical, very good in terms of odour control, clumping and never had any complaints from my 2 bengals.
Only reason for 4/5 rating is that I have hard flooring in the house and the cats manage to bring out some litter everytime which is a pain to clean up. I will try some alternatives and feedback how I get on! A very good product.

What a shame
After being very happy with the classic clumping litter i wanted to try this one as the other is very dusty however i was not prepared for the mess it's been causing it's everywhere my cat's are not great diggers but this litter dosent suit us, i find it really hard to get the clumps out and i can still smell the litter odores good for new kittens but not for long term use,

Superior Litter
Have had indoor cats for many years and tried nearly every litter. Oko Plus is by far the most effective litter around and I wouldnt use any other litter now. Absolutely no amonia smell, clumps superbly and trays are very easy to keep clean.

oko plus is lush
started using oko recently, started with a 40l begining of jan, nearly finished now! LUSH

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.

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.

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.

Not recommended for cats with respiratory issues
It covers smells really well;
Makes firm clumps, easy to remove from the litter;
It's gentle on the paws, soft, my tomcat liked digging in it.
The biggest downside, and the reason I'll stop using it, is that it leaves a lot of dust. My cat has respiratory issues, which came back shortly after I started using this litter. The dust bothered me too, so I had to wear a mask when cleaning/changing it;
Another downside is that it spreads easily all over the house.

Clumping litter???
I bought this litter because it was supposed to be very low in dust. But that's really the only advantage! As for CLUMPING litter...???? Every clump falls apart as soon as you lift it out of the tray, or even just shake it a bit on the scoop to let the clean litter fall back into the tray. So better not to shake it and just throw everything in the bin. What a waste!
Even my three cats prefer to use the other tray, which still has the "old" type in it.
Never again!!!!!

Decline in quality
Less clumping and more dusty, it gets everywhere in the flat, but always has a pleasant smell. The quality has gone down over time (especially with the larger packs of litter).
