Fresh Step Heavy Duty Cat Litter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fresh Step Heavy Duty Odor Block 22lb doesn't have alot dust when pouring it into my litter pan which is great. I've read really good reviews already on this cat litter. I have 2 adult male cats and odor is always a problem for me. Glad it smells like febreeze too. I will be checking it daily and also cleaning daily and see how good the litter is doing and also the odor too.

Messy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to love this cat litter but I just couldn’t. We have 3 cats and we’re really looking for something that is odor blocking but this didn’t live up to its promise. It leaves behind an ammonia smell and I can’t stand it. The box it comes in is great for storage. It’s easy to dispense. My cats toss this litter out of the litter box and tend to tack it out of the box on their paws. Super messy and lots of cleanup.

Scent is not overpowering

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this cat litter and so does my cats. It starts to absorb and clump right away after the cats do their business. The texture is tiny and soft. I have not seen it stick to their little paws. The scent is not that noticeable and overpowering like some cat litters. It came in a box which I could breakdown and recycle. I’m

Great at clumping

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was happy to try this product. We are a multi cat household with three cats. One of our cats is diabetic. And with that issue comes a lot of urine due to the amount of water, he drinks. I found this letter to be very good at clumping and did not track dust or dirt. It's bad as some of the other brands.I've used. As far as odor control, it seems to do very well. I would purchase this again

Good litter that definitely blocks odor, but very

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is good litter and I like the brand and use it regularly, however this heavy duty odor block is so very dusty and lingers in the air for a long time. It clumps great it definitely blocks odor. I don’t smell anything when I’m standing right beside the litter box which is great my only issue and the reason I took one star off is because of how dusty it is and how long it lingers in the air, which isn’t good for anyone to breathe in. Other than that unfortunate part I like everything else about this litter. I just hope they can do something about the amount of dust that goes airborne when you pour it into the litter box.

Good Litter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has the basic clumping cat litter texture. Works well at hiding odors. Easy to scoop. Only complaint is that the packaging itself isn't the best at containing the litter. When the litter was shipped to me some of the litter had leaked out. There was no noticeable damage to the packaging and litter continued to leak out. However, the amount of litter lost was not significant (maybe a cup total).

The best for odor control

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This litter is superb when it comes to odor control. This littler also has febreeze scent added to it which really helps for those stinky accidents. I personally like to mix this one with a non scented litter too create my perfect mix of litter that contains and masks any stinky smells. This is the best for odor control.

Great for clumping but…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The nice thing about this cat littler is I enjoy that it clumps up the waste, this makes it easier to scoop. The packaging is to the point, and a good amount comes in the box (it is very heavy) The downside is, I do not think that this litter did a great job with odor blocking. There is no fresh scent with it, and I felt that the odor traveled to other rooms. Another downside is, when scooping the litter, it was super dusty and that is not something I enjoy breathing in. I unfortunately will probably not get this litter again as I feel there are other alternatives that fit my needs. Overall, I enjoyed the clumping properties, but I would need more odor control.

Fresh Step always #1

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fresh Step will always be a winner in my book! We have so many cats that we have 5 litter boxes! They all like different boxes so I put this in the most popular box to try it. We scoop everyday and even witb missing a day there was little smell. Usually only after a really smelly cat didn't cover. Tracking it around the house was about the same as other litters. Only thing I really disliked was the dust from pouring it.

So much DUST

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is nice and easy to open, my issue that gives it an automatic 1 star rating is that when I poured it into the litterbox, a fine powder rose up and permeated the entire floor of our house, it irritated my nose, gave me a headache, and essentially smelled like a cross between a dust storm and pure talcum powder. It was beyond overkill. I’m debating if it’s even a nice thing to do to donate the rest to an animal shelter because I don’t want to subject the volunteers and animals to this.
