Natural Wheat Multi-Cat Litter, Superior Clumping with Odor Neutralizing Enzymes, 25 Pound Bag

I really love this cat litter! I first began purchasing it just over 7 years ago. My 2 cats turned 8 years old back in March. I got my cats through an adoption program through Petsmart. Before I left the store with my cats in tow, I grabbed a bag of clay cat litter, canned food, and wet food and took them home.At that time, it had been about 13 years since I'd last owned a cat, so I didn't give cat litter much thought. I don't remember what brand the clay litter was, but I do remember it was perfumed. It was a turn-off to me, and I wondered if my cats would be offended by the fragrance and refuse to use the litter box. Fortunately, they weren't put-off. But after about 6 weeks of using the clay, I thought there had to be a better litter product out there. Clumping clay litter was a better product then what I was using 13 years prior, but I still hated having to bag up the little "gifts" my cats would deposit because you can't flush clay. Certainly by now there had to be a scoopable, flushable litter available.I started researching online. I came across an article that stated the following "None of us would ever intentionally cause our cat harm. But many people don’t realize that something as simple as cat litter contains many hidden dangers – to your cat and to you.Litters that contain perfumes as odor control can irritate cats’ eyes and aggravate allergies. But that’s just the start.Popular among many cat owners, some clumping litters can be downright dangerous to cats. Many litters contain a compound known as sodium bentonite as the clumping agent, which expands to 15 to 18 times its dry size when wet. Cats lick their paws, especially after being in the litter box, and can get internal blockages from the dust alone. Many cats and kittens eat litter. This can have deadly consequences as the litter swells in the intestines, especially in kittens. If you use litter with sodium bentonite and your cat experiences constipation, muscle weakness or lethargy, get them to a vet ASAP.Ever worried as you pour litter into the litter box if that dust swirling up is harmful? Many cat litters contain quartz silica. Silica dust is a known carcinogen, which can cause respiratory problems, some as serious as lung cancer, in your cat. Although there are no known studies on the effect of silica dust from cat litter on humans, many guess it could very well have the same effect on us.So what’s a cat owner to do? Look for a cat litter made from wheat, newspaper or corn, which is free of dyes or perfumes and does not contain silica or sodium bentonite".Wow! After reading that article I determined to replace the clay litter with a wheat litter. That's how I began using sWheat Scoop Multi-Cat litter. It’s silica free, naturally clumping, biodegradable, flushable and contains no perfumes. When it is time to scoop the box I just use my foot to move it up to the toilet (litter box is in the bathroom), scoop, and flush! Couldn't be easier!sWheat Scoop is more expensive than the clay litters, but the decreased health risk to my cats and the convenience for me make it well worth it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

This is my favorite litter so far. Natural and safe incase you have one that eats it occasionally like I do. It clumps wonderfully and is pretty low dust. Secret is sprinkling some baking soda in weekly when you add more litter. Helps loads towards the clumping and it doesn't smell much. Gets a bit of a smell if you don't clean it once a day at least but if you clean it daily and sprinkle the baking soda weekly I don't smell a thing with two cats only if I forget a day. Way better than the supposedly low dust clays I used to use. Clumps as well or better than the clay buy the clay used to leave a fine grey dust over my Entire room where the boxes are kept and everything in it. Hated that. This one has hardly any dust. Costs a bit but worth it to me to not have to wipe clay dust off a whole room several times a week or worry about my dumb orange boy getting an impaction eating it.

UPDATE: After using this order for a while it’s not as great as I thought it was. Unfortunately the pieces are so big that when they pee, it goes all the way to the bottom and it’s hard to get out. I’ve also found that it breaks apart and causes all the litter to smell like cat urine. I thought it wasn’t tracking, but it’s actually tracking more and I’m constantly cleaning it up. I’m gonna have to look for something else if you have any suggestions feel free to comment.I love this litter. The fact that there’s no smell or dust is phenomenal. My cats took to it right away. No problems. It clumps great and my house doesn’t smell anymore. It does get scattered but is easily cleaned up. It’s definitely worth the investment. I have three cats and a new kitten. They all love it. When I changed over from scoopable litter I gradually switched my four litter boxes one at a time. Never going back to clay based. I think it’s a healthier alternative for my cats.

I’m torn on what review to give this litter. On one hand I love that it’s biodegradable & that’s it’s made of wheat!! Those are two fantastic points! So on those two things I give it 5 stars for sure.However, the price with this litter (& all kitty litter honestly) is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! Also, this litter claims to be 99% dust free & to not smell. Both of these claims are false. It’s a little less dusty than regular clumping litter but certainly not dust free!! The litter smells after it’s been in there for a small amount of time. It definitely didn’t preform as well as I had hoped with smell. So on dust & smell category it gets 3 stars. Price is 1 star. And if you’re thinking this litter will be lighter & easier to lift—you’d be mistaken!! But then, only the lightweight litter isn’t heavy.One thing that the litter didn’t really tout was how well it clumps….but it’s by far the best clumping litter I’ve used!!5 stars on clumping ability!!I do also want to note though that I have a 6 yr old female who has urinary issues (that developed due to the added minerals in store bought kibble & she is also a little high strung). So she used the litter box with this litter just fine at first (probably about 3 weeks or so) but then even after I had emptied the entire container & filled with all new litter, she rejected the litter box & wouldn’t use it at all. So I had to stop using it all together.I do love that they came up with a more environmentally conscious alternative & I would love to see this company stay in business. So definitely give this litter a chance because what didn’t work for my household may work for yours!!
