Great Value, Best Odor Control

This is the most economical way & place I have found to purchase this high quality litter. Excellent odor control, far better than any other brand I have tried. Long-lasting without odor or ammonia & easy to scoop the boxes clean, tight-clumping & doesn’t break up if you scoop it often enough. I normally sift boxes daily but in time of crisis, could only get to it every 3-5 days & the clumps didn’t break up & boxes still didn’t smell bad (2 cats, 3 cat boxes)

No bad smells!

Excellent product. My cats aren't fond of scented litters but don't object to this one as the fragrance is not overpowering. The litter boxes are in an area near the front door, so it's important that it not smell bad and this does the trick. Highly recommend this, especially if you want a clean smelling home.

Worst cat litter for dust content!

Both my husband and I developed breathing issues because of this litter. The dust cloud is ridiculous and settled on everything in the room. We know for a fact that it's the litter because we moved it to another area and we could feel the difference immediately. Plus there's no way we started having seasonal allergies this time of year in Minnesota. There's NO WAY this is low dust. The reviews are so good, which is very confusing. Not sure if something changed recently, but this is the worst litter I've ever used.

10 Star Product

This cat litter is miraculous. There is no odor detectable even if you're 6 inches from it. It doesnt have a heavy perfumey smell, either.I keep about 4 inches of litter in the box, scoop every other day, fill to 4 inches if needed, stir and thats it. I have never had to take all the litter out and wash the box. In 5 years I have never emptied the box, it stays clean with this clumping deoderized litter.. I wipe down the outside and edges but thats it. The only cat litter Ill ever use.

It’s worth the extra bucks ... lasts longer

We have 3 cats. We tried everything from an autocleaner to the low pan, the clumping, natural (sawdust), and clay. Nothing stemmed the odor except the orange natural but was discontinued years ago. So we finally paid the extra bucks for the fresh step. It is unbelievable!!! I used one bag in a deep pan that you can tip over to remove the clumps...that was okay but took a lot of work. So I just have the bottom part only and scoop daily. There is no smell at all. Relatives visit and ask if we got rid of the cats...

Won't use any other brand

I have had numerous cats over the years (currently 10, we're in the country) and Once I tried Fresh Step I vowed to never use another brand! I love the smaller bags it makes it much easier to refresh the cat litter without having to lug a huge box or bag.

Smaller packages to handle.

Could not find cat litter with the virus going on. This is the only litter I could find, any where's. Easier to carry the packages down to the basement. I normally would buy the 1 big package but, you buy what you can find. The cats still need to go.

Litter does NOT HOLD UP....Missing the Clumps

I am not totally displeased, but MY CAT, does not prefer this brand. She will pee out side the litter rather than pee in this litter, because it is crumbly and does not clump. The litter does a good job of controlling the odors from the litter. That part I am PLEASED with.

NO LONGER CLUMPS URINE!

I'm so disappointed. We've used this on and off for years since weve always had a5 least one cat. Now we go through it a lot (4/month since 6 10wk old kittens showed up in our garage 2 years ago). The last batch of litter we bought no longer clumps the urine. The urine sits in the bottom requiring the litter to be completely dumped more frequently than before. Sadly, we will no longer be buying this brand.

Gave my cat a UTI

Got this instead of my usual liter to try it out since I was in Sam's Club. The dust was so terrible my cats wouldn't dig and when they did everything was covered in dust and liter. The clumps were a joke because they wouldn't stay together and would stick to the bottom of the liter box. Since they wouldn't cover due to dust no matter how much I scooped it was always dirty. My cat got a UTI because of all of this. If I could give this product 0 stars I would. Do not buy for your cat!
