"Super absorbent, smells great and lasts. My senior girly has become very picky about the texture in her litter box, this is more of absorbent flakes rather than all granulated- she seems to like it more!"

— Chelle

"This litter has a great smell that lasts! It's very 'dusty' when adding more to the litter box, however, I am fine with that as it works great!"

Bottom Line

Recommend carefully. It is worth trying a small amount. Given the mixed reviews and specific issues such as an overwhelming scent and clumping problems, potential buyers may want to try a smaller quantity first or consider alternative products that might better suit their pets' needs.
