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.

Heavy duty is right!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This heavy duty litter litter from Fresh Step certainly blocks odors very effectively. I appreciate that immensely because I do have 6 cats in total and even sifting the litter boxes every day you can still have a lot of odors. It does created a lot of dust which I suppose is unavoidable with clay litters but I did still deduct a star for that because it really is a lot.

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.

On par with other types

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already use Fresh Step brand but I had not tried this type before. I do not see a reason to swap to this type. I typically use the extreme scented and honestly I could not tell much of a difference at all. Fresh Step is great at masking odors. The first day this type seemed like it masked them less but a couple of days later I did realize there was not a strong odor any more. This was easy to pour even if it is a little heavy like most cat litter is. I prefer to buy them that come in the 4 pack of bags instead of the box because it makes them easier to lift and pour. It clumps great just like the other types I have used and makes cleaning the litter box as pleasant as possible. I think I was actually able to go a day or 2 more than normal with this type.

Will probably buy again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really good cat litter. It clumped really nicely and it did help with the smell. I dont think it hit the 30 days guaranteed claim, but worked just as well as the really expensive one I like.

Fresh Step indeed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I previously switched from using Fresh Step to another brand and I'm switching right back to this brand. Why? When they say heavy duty order control, they really mean it! It clumps very well and keeps the odor from permeating the room. If your cat is anything like mine, they seem to enjoy taking a wee little poo right when your head hits the pillow to go to sleep at night. My cat is very fastidious about covering up his waste and this blocks the odor so I don't have to get up when I'm already nice and cozy in my bed and go clean his box up. Also, the packaging is great because it has a handle on it and as you can see, it has a pour spout that you can just tuck right back in when you're not using it. It makes it easier on the back to pour the litter this way. The price point is great and I highly recommend it to any cat parents.

Good Cat Litter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fresh Step Heavy Duty Odor block cat litter water works great and keeping odors to a minimum. The appearance is similar to other cat litters. It absorbs and clumps well making a minimum mess when scooping the litter.

Very Fresh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the texture and scent of Fresh Step Heavy Duty Cat Litter. It effectively controls odors, which is the key factor to me when buying litter. My cat switched smoothly from regular clay litter. It forms solid clumps, making clean up straightforward. Additionally, it features an easy-to-grip handle and it can conveniently stored away.

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.

Does the job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works great! It keeps the litter fresh between scoops and clumps tight for easy removal. It’s a great, cost effective option. It pots easily and isn’t to bad about tracking out of the litter box.
