Not as good as it used to be
Have used this brand for many years, but in the last 6 months the quality has decreased. Whereas before the clumping was excellent, now it crumbles very easily into crumbs and I have better things to do than spend 10 mins sifting the tray every time my boy takes a wee.

This litter used to be good
This litter was amazing. No dust, clumping well, really unscented and good value. I used to love it and my cat never had any issue with it. Unfortunately, the two last bags I received are awefully smelly. It smells like chimicals and it gets even worse once wet. Result: I have a cat holding his pee all day and peeing once in 24hrs instead of the usual 4-6. It is, simply put, bad. I hate inconsistancy in products, it is so frustrating and rarely for the best. Looking for a replacement now.
Not as good as World's Best
Decided to give Tigerino a try. Went for the unscented version. Clumping capability is good but the smell of the litter before use is not that appealing. Not sure if those scented ones are better.

Good clumping, but stinks
Tried this litter as my usual one has stopped delivering to me (thanks Brexit). I had previously tried Biocat's Micro Fresh but changed as it didn't clump well. This one clumps really well and is nice and fine so scoops quickly... but the smell is horrible. I have 2 cats and their litters get scooped twice a day, and my house smells like a farm with this litter. Even tried litter deodorizer to zero effect. Would be ok if your cats are in a shed or garage though.

Quite dusty!
Not a bad litter, having tried a few clumping ones now, but is quite fine and dusty. Huge plumes of dust when poured into the tray, and such a fine texture that our kitten thought it was a sandpit and kept jumping in it and letting his paws get covered up! Absorbent though.

Have they changed the mix on this?
I used to love this cat litter and so did my 3 cats - no smell, no tracking through the house and easy to clean but the last couple of bags have disappointed by actually weding itself to the tray - so much so that I have broken 2 litter scoops and now have to use a metal gardening trowel to loosen it! I don't know what has been done to this but I am not impressed. I will have to keep going with it though as my cats don't like the other coarser litter

Disappointing
I had read so many great reviews for this litter before I bought a bag to try and, boy, am I glad I did only get the one bag! Plus points were that it controlled odour very well and wasn't too bad for tracking. But the wet clumps just seemed to weld themselves to the tray and it was just horrible to clean.

Good sand
Good sand, clumps very well and doesn't smell. However, it needs at least 6cm to clump, otherwise will get stuck to the bottom of the litter tray and is very difficult to remove, sticking in the scoop as well. Also my cat takes it out, and, as the litter tray is in the toilet, the litter forms a cement on the floor or the bath mat if they are wet. Not flushable. I'll try another litter next time.

used to order this but receipt changed
used to order this for 2 of my cats, but from a recent buy, it seems that they have added some blue clay ish thing in, and the sand is really dusty now. it stated unscented, but it definitely have added some scent in the new formula. My cats doesn't seem to care, but it is really dusty when I clean the litter!

I think the recipe has changed
This used to be brilliant litter but unfortunately it has started to be very dusty and has a smell to it when it is meant to be unscented.
nothing special
I bought this on the basis of the good reviews, but wasn't impressed. I have been using Sanicat pro clumping gold for my 4 cats, but thought this might be better. It isn't. It comes in a massive plastic sack which was so heavy I had to drag it to the trays, I couldn't lift it. It wasn't particularly good at odour control. And when I came to wash out the tray, I found that wee'd upon remnants had stuck like cement. For a clumping microgranule litter I will return to Sanicat.
Clumps well - too well!
At first I loved the fact that I could lift out the firm clumps leaving the rest of the litter intact. Also, it doesn't smell which is good. But being clay-based when it gets wet it becomes almost like concrete and very difficult to remove from the scoop and the tray itself. I have used tons of hot water to get both clean so I won't be buying it again.

Good but....
This is a good ultra fine litter which clumps very well but like a previous reviewer on the offer page one of my cats has suffered fur loss on her legs & tum where she comes into contact with the litter. Consequently I'm not reordering!

quality has declined
We've also noticed that the quality has gone down. We used this for years. Now we have to switch to other litters because this one doesn't clump like it used to, and it really does create more dust too.

Dubbelpak: 2 x 12 kg
Product itself is good, but the packaging really isn't....
I don't order from Zooplus anymore, but I also can't find this in any local shop nearby. Unfortunately, it only ever arrives torn these days—Zooplus sorts it out properly, but a ripped bag makes a mess. The last two times, there was a whole trail of gravel from the delivery van right up to my front door. Of course, the couriers are partly to blame for being too rough with it, but I never had this problem until a few months ago. Now I'm buying something else from a local shop, and it's more expensive.

Quality has gotten worse
I've been using this litter for a really long time and I was very happy with it, but lately I've noticed the quality has dropped a lot. Now it creates a lot of dust, the pee sticks to the sides of the litter boxes much more, and the grains are getting coarser. Since my cat with respiratory problems has started to show more discomfort, I have no choice but to switch brands.

The new bags keep breaking
As far as the sand goes, it's a nice type—very little dust and it absorbs cat pee really well. We've been buying it for years, but ever since they changed the type of bag, it's almost impossible to get a delivery where the bag hasn't burst open and spilled sand everywhere. :/

Used to be better
We've been using this cat litter for over 2 years, but recently I've noticed it's not as good as it used to be. That's a real shame. Something must have changed, now it doesn't clump as well anymore. It was always the best litter for us.

Delivery
Very disappointed with my order. I received the two 12 kg bags of litter in a box that was completely torn and crushed. The packaging was in a dreadful state when it was delivered, which is just not acceptable for such a heavy parcel. Luckily, the bags weren’t punctured, but given the state of the box, it easily could have happened.
I was expecting much sturdier packaging, better suited to the weight of the parcel. It’s a real shame, as it leaves a very poor first impression. I hope

Sensitive (parfümfrei)
Worse quality
I've been ordering this litter for years and was always happy with it. But since last year, the quality just isn't the same anymore. I've kept an eye on it and it wasn't just a one-off. I can't find the baby powder scent anymore, and when my cat does her business, it smells as if there's no scent at all. I find that really unpleasant now.

Quality has declined despite unchanged conditions (2 tomcats)
For the past 7 years, I really enjoyed using Tigerino cat litter and even recommended it to others. It’s very fine and especially economical. The 12 kilos would last at least 6 weeks. What I liked most was that the clumps were solid. However, since last year I’ve noticed that the clumps aren’t as firm anymore and I had to change the litter after just 4 weeks. Such a shame, because I liked using it and my two tomcats got on well with it.

Significantly worse
Used to be the best litter!
Now it has an unpleasant smell and the clumps are really bad, everything just falls apart... it's a shame that good products can't keep their quality.

Tigerino Cat Litter
Very disappointed – it’s dusty and doesn’t absorb odours at all. My cat spreads this litter everywhere on her paws, I don’t even know if all litters have gotten so much worse in quality this year.

Since the new packaging, the litter has definitely got worse
I have to agree with the previous reviews, I've been using this litter for ages, but ever since they changed the packaging, unfortunately the quality of the litter has changed too. Expensive packaging, cheap contents – which really disappoints me. I'm also considering trying something else.

Quality gradually declining
I was so excited to have found the perfect cat litter: zero dust, excellent clumping, no smells at all. Unfortunately, in the past few months, sometimes I’ve received the original one I was used to, other times the packaging was different and the quality was terrible (very dusty, the clumps fall apart and quickly dirty the rest of the litter). I’ve come to the conclusion that the old Tigerino is just leftover stock now, so I’m starting to switch to other brands.

Changed quality
Until now, we were very satisfied with this cat litter and we regularly order it for our cats. However, the contents of the packages from the latest delivery are clearly much worse quality than before. Somehow, the colour and the material are different, and it definitely doesn’t clump as well. The “balls” just fall apart when I try to scoop them up.

Change in quality
We’ve been buying this brand for years and were always satisfied. The last batch was an unpleasant surprise. The clumps don’t hold together, the litter started to smell quickly and it’s dustier. If the quality doesn’t improve, we’ll start trying other brands.

Good grit, poorly packaged
I buy this grit because it doesn’t create dust. However, this is now the second time there’s been a hole in the bag! The packaging just isn’t strong enough!

The quality of this litter has gone down since my last purchase, which is a real shame. It clumps much less now and is especially dusty, which wasn’t the case before.

Økonomipakke: 2 x 12 kg
Tigerino cat litter
Normally I would have given 5 stars as I’ve been really happy with this variant, but I can see that others, like me, think it has gotten worse—it’s dustier and there’s a risk that the clumps break apart if you hit them with the scoop. I also think it’s become a bit coarser. It wasn’t like this before, has the quality changed? If so, I’ll have to start looking for something else.

Doesn’t compact anymore
The last 12 kg package I received has been a double disappointment.
The litter has lost the extraordinary clumping ability it used to have; this last package clumps just like any other ordinary litter on the market.
The quality of the plastic material of the packaging bag has also dropped so much that the bag arrived at my home cracked from top to bottom, with the litter spread all over the box, covering or dirtying the rest of the products that came in the same box/order.
