This is the worst litter I’ve tried yet. It was recommended by a friend because she said it was not dusty at all and clumped really well. Well, it is so dusty I had a hard time cleaning her litter box. It takes forever because you have to let the dust settle. It also does not clump well at all. Unfortunately I have three of the 11 pound packages left to use up.

I’ve been a dedicated Fresh Step customer for years while running a small cat rescue with 20 cats at any given time. The original formula was perfect for my needs - it clumped reliably, controlled odors even with multiple litter boxes, and had minimal dust. The smaller bag sizes were also much easier for me to manage. Unfortunately, something changed with the formula, and I can no longer recommend this product. The odor control has noticeably declined, but the biggest issue is the dust. It’s now extremely dusty - so much so that every time I change out my boxes, the entire room ends up coated in a fine layer of litter dust that requires deep cleaning. With the number of cats I care for, this creates an enormous amount of extra work and isn’t healthy for me or the cats. While I appreciate that the packaging remains easy to handle at my age, the dust and reduced odor control are simply too significant to overlook. After years of loyalty to Fresh Step, I’m switching to Tidy Cats. It’s disappointing when a product you’ve trusted for so long changes for the worse. If you’re considering this litter, I’d suggest looking elsewhere unless they reformulate back to their original quality.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Litter seems to be much dustier now

I have four cats and 4 litter boxes to maintain. This litter seems to do the best with odor control and clumping for easy scooping. Daily scoops and top off extends the usage. I have three female cats and they drink a good amount of water daily.

So dusty and smells way too strongly. Also tracks a LOT. I have a litter mat and a rug between the litter box and my bed and my cats still bring so much litter into my bed despite that. Don’t recommend

We have 2 cats and keep 2 litter boxes and they use whichever one they like. Fresh Step keeps the odors under control and is easy to handle in the smaller bags. We use the litter box liners in conjunction with this litter and the whole operation is as easy as waste control can be. One of our cats has sensitivities to litters and this is the one I prefer because it doesn't make her wheeze.

There are some items worth paying more for, and this litter is one of them! Don't buy the other bargain brands of cat litter, you will end up spending more in the long run. This litter works and will keep your house from smelling like a crazy cat lady's ; )

NOT the litter I’ve used for years but I had forgotten to pick it up and didn’t want to double back several miles to get it. I was in Sam’s and I decided to try this instead. Big mistake. It’s awful. It’s very heavy, very dusty, the cats tracked it EVERYWHERE and clumps stuck to the litter box then broke apart when you dug them out. I went back to my tried and true in less than a week. Lesson learned.

Great clumping cat litter that really locks in odor as stated if not longer! We have multiple kitties and this litter is low dust and clumps the urine really well making it super easy to scoop. I scoop the litter boxes about every other day, sometimes I get behind a day, but I can say that this Fresh Step Total Control litter does a great job locking in odors. I always worry that my home might have a cat box smell, but everyone says that they wouldn't even know that I had cats if they didn't see them. This doesn't ring true for a couple of other clumping litter brands that I have used in the past, so this is definitely the tried and true brand for our kitties and our home.

Best litter ever. We have tried them all and this is the one that works the best. Other litters say they clump but when you try to scoop the box they fall apart. This litter controls odor and truly clumps with cat urine so it is easily removed from the box. This is a great bargain because I don’t have to dump the entire box every time the litter box gets scooped!
