Boxie Premium Unscented Clumping Cat Litter 30+ Day Odor Control 16 lb

I've been searching for a replacement for my old standby Arm & Hammer unscented multi-cat scoopable litter, which recently has become unbearably dusty. It seems our entire household is sensitive to dust from cat litter, not surprisingly the cats themselves. My goal was to find hypoallergenic fragrance-free, dust-free clumping litter. We have five cats with eight litter boxes for them to choose from. I scoop the boxes daily and completely change out the litter once a month. Here are six results in order of my preference, the first two coming in at a virtual tie! Notes: My cats use the first three brands relatively equally (Cat’s Pride, Boxiecat, Precious Cat). The first five brands clump well without crumbling, but I can’t vouch for the clumping quality of Fresh Step since our cats didn’t even get a chance to try it. Odor control was not a deciding factor for me in these selections. Cat's Pride Fresh & Light Premium Clumping Fragrance Free 5 stars No fragrance, no dust, just right. Success! Fine texture. Advantage over others: exceptionally light weight, multi-color granules that make even the tiniest clumps of urine or fecal matter easy to detect and remove. The unique warm gray granule color is somehow extra appealing and clean looking to me. Featured on an episode of Must Love Cats. Definitely plan to buy again. (Note: I did not purchase this item on Amazon due to the high price here as of Jan. 2014.) Boxiecat Premium Clumping Clay Cat Litter 5 stars Fragrance free, 99.999% dust free, very easy cleanup. Success! I noticed only a minuscule amount of dust in sunlight when removing clumps, but it wasn’t enough to trigger any allergic reaction. Fine texture. Advantage over others: clumps appear near the surface for relatively easy cleanup. Clumps do not end up stuck to the inside bottom of the litter box as in other clumping litters, which often require scraping and extra cleanup efforts. Cat Fancy Editor's Choice 2012 for Best Cat Product of the Year. Definitely plan to buy again. Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Ultra Premium Clumping Cat Litter 4 stars Fragrance free, at least 99.9% dust free as claimed. My cats like it, but my personal preference is the finer texture of both Cat's Pride Fresh&Light and Boxiecat. And unlike the superior Boxiecat, clumps for Precious Cat often get stuck to the inside bottom surface of the litter box, even with the recommended three-inch depth. Still, this is a definite improvement over Arm & Hammer, not enough dust to trigger allergies, and I would consider buying it again if I hadn't already discovered Cat’s Pride and Boxiecat. Purina Tidy Cats Instant Action 3 stars Slight fragrance and zero dust, but only one of my five cats chooses to use it. My oldest cat is the only one who will use Tidy Cats, which works out well since he doesn’t like sharing his litter box. The unique granules are large, smooth and rounded, so perhaps he likes the feel of this litter on his paws. Fortunately it is dust free and the fragrance is mild and pleasant, so I will continue to buy this brand to keep him happy. Ever Clean Extra Strength Cat Litter with Carbon Plus, Unscented 1 star Dusty enough to trigger sneezing when I scoop out the clumps; emits a subtle but sharp fragrance that causes a burning sensation in my nasal passages. The cats don't seem to mind using it, but I don't feel good about them breathing in the dust and the sharp odor and will not be buying it again. Fresh Step Premium Scoopable Unscented Clumping Cat Litter Multiple Cat Strength 0 stars Extremely dusty, strong odor, triggers allergies. Cats didn’t get a chance to try it. This one turned out to be so dusty and emitted such a strong odor throughout the house, we had to remove the opened box from the house immediately. Triggered allergies for both my husband and me – coughing, headaches, burning sensation in eyes and nasal passages, sneezing. Definitely will not buy again.

I’ve been using coconut litter for about five years and I don’t know if they’ve change the manufacturing or what but it became really dusty and so I thought I would try clay litter For three weeks I’ve been using Boxiecat and another leading and popular clay litter Both were way better than the coconut even though they’re a lot heavier there just is no dust no tracking, and no odor relative to the coconut Boxiecat came out on top, mainly because at 3 inches the clumps stay 1 to 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of the pan. This means I don’t have to clean the pan as frequently and maybe not at all I’ll see it’s only been three weeks. I’m gonna just top it off and see how it goes and keep it at 3 inches per the instructions. Another feature, although not as critical, was how lightweight it is. For pushing the scoop through the litter it was very easy to do and also since the clumps don’t stick to the bottom which made it easy too. it seems very expensive but when I thought about how much coconut litter I was going through it’s almost going to be the same price. If not, maybe even a little cheaper because I don’t think I’m gonna have to change it out completely every two weeks as I did the coconut. I’ve used clumping litter in the past and went to corn and that was a disaster leaving little foot prints on my black cotton covered couch, so I tried coconut and I thought it was a lot better and I dealt with the small amount of tracking being dark brown. It kind of blended in but one day when I realized how dusty it was, I decided to revisit clumping clay litter. I thought it’s been a while and maybe they’ve improved over the years and I think they have with Boxiecat. I am amazed at how low the dust is how low the tracking is no odor and I like the idea of the probiotics assisting with everything I understand how useful probiotics are and I’ve had great success with them in other situation’s So it’s Boxiecat for me for now. I hope this review is helpful.

I really like this litter.It had great clumping power and I didn't get any bad smells off of it. Some of the cheaper ones like tidy cats. Don't really hold in that strong cat. Urine smell after even a day of changing it

This is an amazing product! I have two older male cats (both neutered) who have gotten progressively smellier as time goes on. Keeping the house smelling ok was a TRIAL. Also both my boys have different allergy issues so I was worried about trying something new. I tried multiple types of litters but nothing really took away the smell. But this helped SO much. Its heavy and super absorbant which honestly was exactly what I was looking for. I go through about the same amount as previous litter brands for MUCH less smell in my house. This hasn't caused an allergic reaction and does well to clump together and keep the smell somewhat contained. This is the only litter I use now.

Covered the smell pretty good, but I didn't notice a difference in tracking vs other cat litters. Loved the low dust but probably won't buy again.

I have my cat for going on three years. I have changed letter three times. Did not like any of them. My girlfriend told me about Boxiecat what a difference. Clean no dust very fine easy on my cats paws. Clumps great.very low tracking. Just love it

A little pricey, OK it’s pricey! I purchased this because of its size and it’s biodegradable. I needed a small amount before my regular delivery got here which is a different product brand. If it wasn’t so pricey, I might switch.

I really think we have a winner with this one! I was using Dr. Elsey's for nearly a year but it seemed like it wasn't doing the job as it had in the beginning for me. Excuse me--for US. Kitty is a big boy with a big bladder and large sized poops. We have an XL box and even keeping that filled enough is hard with all the scooping needed. Since these litters are expensive--I want us BOTH to love the litter. Dr. Elsey's was breaking apart on the urine clumps and I couldn't scoop out the little bits. I was so frustrated with the stinky aroma all the time. I don't want all those un-scoopable bits hanging around in the box any more than kitty does. The litter wasn't doing a good job of drying the poo or covering the smells... I know Unscented is the safest for their kidneys--so I started looking for options. After about two hours of review reading on Amazon, I ordered Boxiecat. Right away kitty was into it and he'd spend a while checking it out. I mixed the old brand with this for a month but it was clear that kitty wanted this Boxiecat. He actually gets crazy into it and I practically have to lock the supply away from him. What I like best is the litter's clumping. It really does what that demo said: the urine will form a sort of ball shape with a flat top--IF you keep a high level of this litter in the box. When you have a giant cat peeing out a lot--you need a thick layer to hold all that fluid so it doesn't puddle at the box bottom. If the fool pees in that corner or up against the edge then you have to deal with some sludge on occasion. This litter is great at absorption though for my money and the poops that he actually covers do get dessicated. That means less stinky poo events. With Dr. Elsey's, he'd drive me out of the room with a stinker. Trust me, I appreciate being able to roll over and go to sleep and not have to get out of bed, throw open a window and leave the room until I could tolerate breathing in there, long enough to scoop--and then return to bed. Another bonus is the grains are a good size and he doesn't seem to get the litter stuck to his paws that often anymore. If your kitty has tufted paws--you know how hard that is. And fluffy paws means throwing litter around-- and when it does get outside the box--it's not usually as much as the old brand. It's slightly lighter weight for the equivalent also. I dunno if anyone else has this issue with this brand...Sometimes he gets the bucket that I store the litter in, moved a few feet away--trying like mad to get the bucket open and to get at the litter. He's big and very strong so even stacking heavy stuff on top of the bucket doesn't deter the efforts. You'd think it was a bucket of cat treats the way he goes after this litter. He's so happy! Totally worth it for that kinda kitty approval. He's 2 now and he's never liked any the others this much.

We used to use Purina's tidy cats lightweight litter until the odour started seeping through the walls. Ultimately, we changed the litter box and moved it next to the washroom on the main floor. Odour got worse, even with regular deep cleaning of the litter box. Cleaning it would trigger coughing fits for me (I have allergic asthma) and I always had to hold my breath when using the washroom or cleaning his litter. Even adding more litter to the box would make me gag because of how dusty it was. Bought this litter, and deep cleaned the entire box before trying it. Absolute magic. It's beyond my expectations. No more coughing fits, I can actually breathe while cleaning the litter box. I thought that it was basically impossible to avoid tracking, and litter sticking to my cat's paws. This litter not only eliminates every ounce of odour, but it also does not stick to my baby's paws and leaves no tracking. Very good price considering that it eliminates odours, tracking and is low dust. My new holy grail.

Doesn’t perform better than other brands

Low dust and clumping well

This cat litter has been GREAT for us! We have 3 cats and this is the 1st litter I've found that actually does everything it promises to do. If I scoop it every day/every other day, it lasts a loooong time and that is very unusual with any litter we've tried, especially with having 3 of the little booger heads using it. 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛️ 🐈‍⬛️ I've never seen cats actually REACT to a bag of cat litter before but our cats LOVE 😻 this stuff! They all come running when I open the bag of litter and they wanna smell it and touch it before I pour it into their litter box, lol. One day right after I filled the litter box with fresh litter (before any of them used it), I found my cat on his hind legs, holding on to the litter box with one arm/paw and pushing around and playing with the litter with the other paw 🐾. I don't know specifically what excites them about it, other than liking clean litter obviously, but they get excited, which they did NOT do with any other litter we've ever used. I also really love that even with the litter being UNSCENTED, I never smell that ammonia-pee smell in the mornings when I come out of my room, which tends to happen with other litters (even if they ARE "scented"), especially being in a smaller home or an apartment. We're in an apartment with 3 cats so it makes a HUGE difference! I highly recommend this stuff! It may SEEM to cost more than some other litters at first, but when you see how great it is and how long it lasts, you'll see that it's actually LESS expensive than other litters. And more than anything, my cats reactions to it EVERY time I open a bag of it... is almost the same as when I shake their little bags of treats, so that tells me I'm definitely using the right stuff. Can't hurt to try it... that's how I looked at it the 1st time I ordered it, bc that is the best way to find out... and now here I am telling everyone else that they should definitely at least TRY it.

Not sure what's the rave about this litter. Tracing all over, sticks to paws like glue, if the cat steps on the wet patch. Ok, it clumps well and is economical but NO. Not worth the money
