Fresh scent, strong clumps

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This litter has a clean fresh scent that actually smells pleasant without being overwhelming. It clumps very well making scooping easy, and my cats had no issue using it. There is a little dust when pouring, but not enough to be a major problem.

Multi cat approved

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have 4 cats and so having an odor control cat litter is essential. The febreze scent is nice, not overpowering at all. Works great at producing tight clumping. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because they track it out of the litter box and on to the floor a bit more than some other litters I have used. Its a very fine litter, so I think thats why. I had no issues with my cats using the litter box when I used this product. I have bought it again because I like the odor control and clumping.

Too dusty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fresh step is not for those who need low dust. It absolutely created a massive cloud when pouring out to the point I had to leave the room. It also made my cats sneeze a lot because I was using it in the automatic litter box. And again high dust is an issue with the sensors. I would not be using this product again purely based on the amount of dust it creates. Was it effective, yes. Did it control odor, sure. But it didn't go well with my asthma. So for that I say nay.

Best control of smells.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love Fresh Step litter. It controls the smell for a long time. It’s very easy to scoop daily and doesn’t track as much as other brands. I just scoop into a little bag and toss in the trash. It’s a semi fine litter and has a little dust when pouring. Over all, a superior litter with multiple cats.

Extremely bad odors…buyers beware

This is by far not what it used to be. Can’t believe the odor. Never had this happened before. Have always used Fresh Step with great clean results. Not anymore. I thought my cat was having issues, but after reading the reviews I realize it’s the litter. Will not be using any longer. Will find a better product for my cat.

Easy · Fresh · Effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fresh Step Odor Shield is easy to use and pour, has a clean fresh scent, and does a good job controlling litter box odors. It needs regular scooping to keep it working well, produces little dust when handled, and overall performs reliably for everyday use.

Fresh scent and nice clumps.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] She said yes to Fresh Step! Available in several different varieties, the large box has the easy carry handle and is recyclable. Awesome clean fresh scent and zero odors lingering in the air. Clumps nicely and scoops easily, keeps your litter box fresh and clean with very minimal effort. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Good quality litter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to try in exchange for my honest opinion. This litter seemed to clump very well making scooping a simple quick process. I didn’t notice a lot of loose litter around the pan or floor like I do at times with other brands. The added febreze scent helps maintain the odor and keep it at bay. I will purchase this again to try a bit longer and see if it does help better than others with the smell.

Reliable odor protection for cats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from influenster in exchange for my honest review. One of my cats has strong smelling stools and I noticed an improvement with the fresh step odor shield cat litter. The added febreze helped keep my laundry room smelling fresh, even with two cats using the box daily. It also clumped very well and held together nicely while scooping and lasted the expected time.

Nice, lighter clumping litter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fresh Step Odor Shield's scent was surprisingly light and clean, with just enough to freshen the space without ever being overwhelming. My cats were instantly curious the moment I started pouring it into their litterbox. Even with the litterbox moved from its normal location (so I could get some photos and video) they hopped right in with no hesitation. The clumping aspect worked quickly, forming tight, solid clumps that made scooping less messy. Overall, it's a subtle, effective, lighter weight litter that performed exactly as advertised!
