AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
This pellet litter is praised for being highly absorbent, dust-free, and not tracking, making it suitable for sifting trays. However, it is not clumping, leading to high consumption and odor issues. Some customers found it too coarse and unsuitable for their cats, causing reluctance to use the litter box. Despite mixed reviews, it offers a wood scent and can deter rodents and stray cats when used outdoors. Overall, opinions vary on its effectiveness.

6-7mm
If anyone's wondering: 6-7mm in diameter and about 0.5-3cm long. The new litter scoop should match these dimensions.
My tomcat initially didn’t want to accept it, as he was used to regular litter. For the first few times, I mixed in a bit of litter – then gradually less – and eventually none at all.
No more overpowering dust in the air, and the floor is finally walkable barefoot again.

Very good cat litter
Hello there... I've read some negative reviews that I can't agree with at all 🤷.... With the right litter box, it's simply brilliant... A regular one isn't ideal because when scooping out faeces or urine, you end up wasting loads of pellets... But with the PeeWee litter box, it's spot on.... In that sense, highly recommended!

Turns to dust = easy to clean
I've read a few of the reviews on here and I think it's really a matter of preference. This litter does indeed turn to dust, but I prefer this as it doesn't stick to my litter tray, making it easier to clean.
I have three cats in my household and find I have to empty two of the trays every 4 days as they wee in these and it does cause smell. However, I didn't think the clumping litter was any better. I found the clumping litter difficult to remove and I had to empty the tray just as frequently.

Works for my cat
I have a maine coon and because of his furry feet, the other litter types end up EVERYWHERE in the house! This one is okay as it doesn't spread, but it will degrade after the cat pees and has to be changed frequently to avoid the trace of degraded powder. I'm going to try Cat's Best Smart Pellets and compare!

Better for small animals
This litter is less suitable for cats as it doesn’t clump, making the cat litter box difficult to clean.
However, it works brilliantly for small animals (in my case, dwarf rabbits)! It has hardly any smell, is very economical and lasts a long time. You don’t need to use much either, as it breaks down and naturally expands over time.

Good bedding
Good bedding for my rabbits. I use it in the rabbit toilet. The only downside... if you leave the bag somewhere... the wood pellets have started to smell very unpleasant.
Otherwise, it absorbs well.

For the rat toilet
Unfortunately, it doesn’t bind rat urine very well, but that’s not so important to me. My little ones mostly use the rat toilet for their bigger business, and the bedding works well for that. While the pellets make it impossible to sift out the droppings, at least the bedding doesn’t get scattered all over the cage or my flat. It does a decent job of controlling odours. Still, it’s a shame there aren’t larger bags available :(

Simply brilliant
I use this litter for my two rabbit cages, with a thick layer of Tima straw on top. My two dwarf teddy rabbits even dig up the cage! I find wood pellets better than straw pellets, which crumble straight away. For the corner toilets, I also use Cat’s Best with straw on top so it’s not too hard. Unfortunately, the small bags are too expensive – I need 80 litres to fill everything. If it ever gets cheaper, I’d gladly order it again. The pellets in retail stores aren’t as good, but they’re cheaper.

Super product!!! Unfortunately, the quantity is too small.
I’m really happy with these pellets! They neutralise odours, and my rats use them perfectly in their toilets!
It’s harmless if they gnaw on them!
The only downside: the quantity! I’ve started buying the pellets from retail stores now, where I can get 40-litre bags!

What a shame...
I think it's great; it absorbs odours incredibly well, the litter tray doesn't smell at all, and the litter doesn't stick to their paws. My cat liked it too, but unfortunately, the tomcat didn't like it at all... I don't know why, but he just wouldn't use it and always went for the bathroom rug instead... Such a shame, I would have loved to buy it again, but the tomcat simply won't use it, and I don't want to be washing my bathroom rug every day...

Well
I bought the pellets for my animals and decided to give them a try.
Conclusion:
My mice love them.
My budgies are thrilled—I always fill half of the cage floor with sand and the other half with pellets, and they love rummaging around in them.
I wasn’t as impressed with my rabbits, though. As mentioned, the pellets break apart and are hard to clean out of the cage...
I’d buy them again for my mice and budgies, but not for my rabbits.

Well-suited for cats
I have two cats that now use this litter. It doesn’t clump, but it also doesn’t smell (even with underfloor heating!). The litter can stay in for a week, after which a complete change should take place. A huge advantage compared to other types is the fact that it doesn’t get scattered around the flat, as the pellets are so large that they don’t stick to the cats’ paws. My two furry friends are happy, and so is my nose...

Quite alright
Hello,
after hesitating for a long time due to the mixed reviews, I finally decided to order this bedding, and I can't find anything negative about it. It's perfectly suitable for my two rabbits, though the price seems a bit high to me. That's why I'm only giving four stars.

Nothing beats it!
No wood shavings bedding can compete with this. The pellets don’t dampen noise as much as shavings do, but the annoying “shavings stuck to your socks” problem is gone, and even after 3 days there’s NO smell! However, the bag doesn’t contain enough for large cages – it only lasts about one and a half times.

Well-suited for rats
After trying out several types of bedding for our furry friends, I’ve come to the conclusion that wood pellets are the most sensible solution. They don’t create as much dust as, for example, maize bedding (which, by the way, also tends to fly around everywhere...) and they absorb quite well. Straw pellets aren’t bad either... but if you have a hay allergy, the wood option is definitely the better choice ;-)

Quite good for small animals
Had to switch to pellets for my guinea pigs because one of them is allergic to hay. It's a good alternative. Since my postman gave me a funny look and I only order it when it's on offer, it's 4 stars :-P

Very good but heavy and expensive
I am very satisfied with this bedding because there’s simply less of it scattered on the carpet, and finally even my long-haired rabbit is “bedding-free”. However, this bedding is very expensive and the 40-litre bag is hardly manageable to carry. That’s why only 4 stars.

Really OK
I use this litter for my two rabbits, but only in the corners where they pee. It absorbs really well, doesn’t smell, and since I only use it in the corners, it’s not too expensive. Otherwise, I use regular wood shavings.
