Fresh Step Crystals Health Monitoring Cat Litter, Color-Changing Litter Helps Detect Irregularities in Cat Urine, Controls Odor for 30 Days, 14 lbs. (2 x 7 lb. Bag)

It didn't do what it promised

I switched to this litter about one year ago and love it! It is amazing how clean and fresh it stays for quite a long time. I use one bag for 2 litter boxes. I have 2 cats that use them The litter easily lasts 3-4 weeks, seriously! It does not smell and I still can't figure out where the urine goes LOL It is easy to scoop the poop and lots of litter does not stick to it, making it wasteful. The finer, sand quality makes it softer on my cats feet so it does not bother them. I use a mat underneath the catch the extra litter. I do not notice a huge amount outside of the box because of this.

Excelente. Sin polvo. Rinde mucho. Sólo que es muy diferente a las arenas tradicionales entonces la limpieza es muy diferente. La pipí no huele nada, la popis sii al momento ya después no. Deja rastro, pero se resuelve con un tapete

Even my most critical nosy friend has commented that she can't smell a cat smell in my house the way she can in other people's houses who have cats. She does NOT like cats anyway, but I love mine. You don't need a scooper if you will get some throw away medical gloves. I only clean every few days and use one glove each time I clean...put it on my right hand and pick the poop out with it, putting it in a little bag held open in my left hand. This may still sound gross to some, but the poop dries out so fast and so thoroughly, that it is like picking out rocks. After picking it out, I stir it with my hand to distribute crystals holding pee. Then I pull off the glove inside out and toss it in with the poop to throw away. The litter lasts MUCH longer than clay or any clumping litter. With one cat, I have found it lasts 5-6 weeks before any odor is detected (from urine). So while it may seem more expensive, it is economical due to how long it lasts between changes. I put all 8 pounds in the box at once.

This stuff is wonderful. Hardly any tracking.

There is no comparison to any other type of litter. Clay non-clumping, clumping, pine-based, corn cob-based, recycled paper based, cedar shavings, shredded paper, etc. I have owned cats my entire life (52 years) and literally tried every type of litter that exists and frankly, most brands of every type. I currently have two cats. A male, who pees like it's his job and a female. I have had up to 4 cats at a time. Crystal litter, of any brand is far and away the best at eliminating odor and reduced tracking. But it's not magic. Cats are still going to throw the litter out of the box so you've got to sweep that up if you don't want to feel like you're walking on glass. Tracking compared to the clumping types is no contest. This stuff rarely leaves the laundry room where we keep the boxes. The clumping litter would sometimes make it up onto my bed all the way on the other side of the house, if it stuck between their toes. So gross!! Crystal litter, of any brand or size has never, ever been found on my furniture, anywhere in my house or even beyond the laundry room door. Crystal litters are pretty much all the same unless they have added colors (this does) or special chemicals to detect illness (this doesn't). The only thing I would say is that the bigger the crystals (these are the biggest I have found), the more they absorb and the heavier the crystals are, which means they are less prone to the cats tossing them out of the box while digging. The tinier crystals don't absorb as much and are more prone to tracking. Let me just say that the review that shows the absolutely saturated litter is not using this product as recommended. They either got a defective bag with far less than 8 Lbs of litter, they are not using enough litter for that bin they are using as a cat box (great idea, actually, but then you need more litter) or they have six cats and one box or they are posting their review for another brand with a smaller bag. It's silica crystals. It's science, not voodoo. If you don't have at least three or four inches of crystal litter in the box, you're going to get what you see in that picture. I've used, not only this brand but others and if you use an entire 7-8 pound bag, per litter box and you have one standard or jumbo sized (the size I use) box per cat, and stir it and change it completely on the schedule recommended, you will never have a box that looks like that. That is a box that doesn't even have enough litter to cover the bottom. Don't do that or this litter is going to disappoint. You have to have several inches or the litter can't absorb the urine. It needs to touch the urine to absorb it. I have periodic back issues and I can admit that I have simply left the boxes go at times, no scooping or stirring for over a month straight and the boxes have never looked like that. The smell has definitely been an issue when I have let it go that long, obviously. Silica crystals can only absorb what they can absorb and then you are going to get puddling and smell. There's a limit. If you have one box per cat, actually fill the box (if you can't use the whole bag because your box is too small, you need bigger boxes or you will have to change it out at two weeks). That's just science. I whole heartedly recommended a full-sized, hooded litter box. One per cat. You got 8 cats? You need 8 boxes and 8 bags of this per month. If you go less, it's not going to do what it's designed to do. No silica crystals can. Brand doesn't matter.
