"This is everything I want in a litter. Almost scentless (subtle natural pine scent), absorbs urine well, prevents odor, and environmentally friendly. I was using walnut shell litter before and this is a world of difference. This litter barely tracks and I never smell any waste odor. My cat likes it ..."

— Kelly

"It has a weird smell and it's very hard to work with this particular brand because it's pellets and you can't really get out the solids without getting rid of half of the pellets"

Bottom Line

If you prioritize odor control and environmental friendliness, Dr. Pol Litter Pine Pellet is a good option. However, be prepared for some mess and potential issues with cat acceptance.
