What To Consider Before Buying Dust Free at Litter?
Don’t just choose one of the products we list here and think that all your cat litter problems will be solved. Here are a few things to think about as you are preparing to find the right litter for your cat:
- Dust free litter will clump- Clumping litter is considered the best kind of litter by PetHealthNetwork.com and other reliable cat care resources, and that’s what most dust free litter is. This kind of litter is easy to scoop out and it is easy to just get rid of the litter that has already been used.
- Watch for muddy litter- Litter that does not create dust may go in the opposite direction and become muddy when it gets too soaked. You can avoid this by buying quality litter and by changing out the litter regularly.
- Know your cat’s preferences- Your cat may not like the litter you chose, even if you are happy with it, and you need to be prepared to change it out for something else. Try to start with a small bag of any new litter first to try it out on your cat. That way, you won’t waste much money.
- Beware of cat allergens and sensitivities- There are other things to consider when buying cat litter beyond how little dust it leaves behind. You also need to pay attention to whether it causes an allergic reaction in your cat or if it is something that is too strong smelling for your cat.
Why Trust Cats.com
Along with other members of the Cats.com team, I’ve personally purchased, tested, and reviewed over two dozen of the most popular cat litter brands and more than 50 individual litter products. The products were purchased at full retail price and the entire testing process was funded by Cats.com without direct input or influence from the companies involved.
When testing low dust cat litter products, I use them in my own home for at least ten days. I make observations about the litter’s appearance, granule size, scent, and dust level when pouring it into the litter box. I also test the litter for odor control, ease of scooping, and tracking. Our cats make their opinions known when they show preference for one product over another.
Now that you have seen our choices, we hope you can find something that works well in your situation. You may have to try a few of these out before you find something that is compatible with your cat’s need and sensitivities, and one of these should be the perfect fit.
Please check out this brand. It is great. I love it. The worlds best cat litter.
Love Worlds Best Cat Litter I’ve been using SINCE 2000. I’ve used this with multiple cats;I’ve had 3 Cat family & now my 1 precious Ragdoll. Can’t help but mention as she’s been a gift from God(my 😇🐾girl)& therapy Cat.
Back to the litter it clumps well; Original Green bag is the softest (ALL my Cats have ❤️)but to increase clumping I mix some of their MultiCat litter as I usually pick out soon after using Litterbox. Original clumps well I’ve noticed if maybe 1/2 hr later clumps firmer. I pick out the Litterboxs several X’s/ day & add some fresh(to me esp if live in Apt easy/Boxes clean Cats happy, people too) I probably use 3/4 Original::1/4 Multi(or 2/3 :: 1/3). This litter’s also very lightweight(FYI:I have disabilities,very petite & was a Nurse).Plus @ least for now if you call the Company they’ll send you Coupons(🤔$2.00& $5.00)& very nice. I’d say only negative bit pricey but worth it. Esp. with coupons (they send ASAP) & how long it lasts I think comparable to some of others. Good for environment. I only have to empty them every 3?4? weeks still looks very clean(but to cats nose NG as you know)!Keep sm trash can near Boxes with Plastic bags it’s easy, hygienic & after BM(poop) tie bag & place in Larger trash bag. I find this pretty close to dust free(I have Allergies so can attest to),tracking I’d say minimal I put a mat under Boxes but so it extends in front of box. I do one other thing part my system(? enough). More info than asked but obviously love & hope this helps.
I’ve worked with animals(unofficially studied Feline diseases,behavior++ & research pretty much all) lifelong love of animals but Cats# 1. One last thought I love Stainless Steel Scoops(hygienic) there’s a certain type that aren’t always easy to find. They scoop great & not sifting? forever & usually”pee clumps”don’t break up.
PS:No I don’t work for them lol… Maybe TMI🤔
Sustainable Yours is wonderful
