I have tried just about every litter on the market of the "clumping" variety. I moved a year and a half ago from a home where I had lived with two cats for years. While helping me pack this huge house which was filled with way too much "stuff," my daughter and her husband both commented on all the dust on everything, especially everything close to the above-ground basement where the two litter boxes were placed. Both of them said the dust made them cough, and once I started paying attention, I realized that I was coughing myself every time I cleaned the litter boxes, and the coughing got worse from disturbing the dust going through and sorting and packing. Once I was in the house I rented, I tried two or three different clumping litters, but all of them had the same heavy perfume odor and there was dust from it everywhere, and about half an inch of dust in the bottom of the litter box at all times, so there is no wonder it was getting everywhere with the help of the cats digging and the stuff flying everywhere. Not only that, but the cats sometimes had "damp" paws, the dust would stick to the paws, and they were tracking cement-like trails across the laminate flooring - and the carpeting as well, though at least I could not SEE that! Then I bought a house and spent four months remodeling it. Once again, during the process of packing, we could all see the cat litter dust everywhere and smell that heavy perfume they use to mask odor. I decided that before I moved into my home with brand new everything, including floor tile, carpeting, blinds, etc., I was going to do some research and try to find a less irritating and dusty litter. My reasoning was that if it was making people cough, it could not be good for my cats to breathe it, either. and I had had more than enough of the dust and the "wet cement" paw marks! I decided to give Precious Cat a try, and this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am just sorry it took me so long to take the time and do the research. I have been using Precious Cat since the end of February. There is no perfume odor whatsoever, there is absolutely NO dust at all, the litter clumps as hard as a rock and never comes to pieces while being scooped, and for some reason, I seem to be adding litter to the boxes less frequently. I have not quite figured out the reason for this yet! Yes - it is pricey, but it is worth the price to me to get rid of that constant cloying smell and the dust everywhere all the time. At least Amazon has it now PRIME, which is a huge benefit, because I looked at Petco on-line and thought I had found a real deal. Wow! Forty pounds for $15.99! Then I got to checkout and the shipping was over $16.00! So back I came to blessed Amazon.com, and this is where I will purchase my Precious Cat Litter from now on. I will pay the higher price for such a high-quality litter, especially since I am using less of it than any other litter I have used in the past. Thanks for carrying Precious Cat, Amazon - and thanks for having it available PRIME, too. By the way, anyone who says the "pee balls" stick to the bottom of the box, try this: I lift one end of the box and drop it about 2 inches back to the floor, then tilt it away from me and repeat the process. This completely loosens the clumps and they are easy to scoop. I do this because I am 74 and the less time I spend being down on my knees cleaning litter boxes, the better off I am! I DID replace my litter boxes, because the ones I had were made of some weird kind of plastic that the clumps DID stick to. Remembering a Maine Coon cat breeder with a LOT of cats and kittens who used plastic tote bins without the lids, I bought two Rubbermaid Roughneck bins with 8" sides, tossed out the lids that came with them, and they are in use now as litter boxes and work great. The higher sides keep the litter from being thrown out with fastidious kitties getting carried away in the covering up process and flinging the litter about, and because one of my cats is a 17-pound Maine Coon female, she is VERY happy not to have to cram her big furry self, including her gorgeous long plume of a tail, into even the largest covered litter box I could find. We are ALL much happier with Precious Cat and new open-top litter boxes! And I must be honest - my first purchase of Precious Cat was NOT from Amazon, because at the time it was not PRIME and I got it cheaper elsewhere. Happily, this is not the case any longer.

Update; I’ve been meaning to come on and here review the litter after use. Just like any clay litter, the more you scoop, the more you break down the granules. As the granules break down they become a powder causing dust. The dust I am experiencing from granulated break down is bad, as to be expected by process, but it’s not as bad as the litter in the yellow tub that starts off extremely dusty. So for those who can afford to, that want less dust, you need to do full litter box changes more often. When the dust has got a limit that you can’t take anymore do a full change and you’ll be back to less dust from not only this brand but any other brands. ✌️ I have 2 cats and 1 large litter box. I haven’t had the money to move into the future with an auto litter box. This is my first time using this litter so i started with a full clean. Upon pouring the bag of litter into the box there was zero and I mean ZERO dust. So my first impression was holy cow no dust. The whole reason I wanted to do a full change was the more popular name brand in a bucket is so dusty it’s 100% unhealthy for my cats and I. This litter is amazing. It clumps great. Also, I have to mention I absolutely hate when litter breaks down and leaves little pieces every time you scoop. I mean what’s the use if there’s little pieces all mixed up in the litter you’re trying to clean. I have NOT had that problem yet while scooping. For being slightly OCD with how clean I want the box I’m again, impressed. Just remember YOU MUST add a good amount of litter to your box in order for it to NOT stick to your box so the litter stops the urine before it gets to the plastic. You wonder about it hitting the sides first, still it will clump perfectly if you put enough litter in the box stopping it from sticking to the sides as well. This litter is trapping all smells as well. I’d give it 10 starts of I could. Completely impressed and will not be going back to any other litter I have previously used. Would 100% recommend whether using an auto or stick scooping yourself. ✌️ fellow cat lovers 😊

This stuff is great. I was paying nearly twice as much for Fresh Step. FS is lighter and perhaps more desirable for that reason, but Dr. Elsey's is a great option if you have multiple cats. The bags are heavy though, at 40 lbs. Clumps very well, absorbs well, hides odors very well. You'll want to get an old plastic container (one of the other litter options, then re-use with the Dr.).

I've been using this litter for a while now and it's been a pretty reliable option for everyday use. I prefer the unscented litter because it just works really well. The clumping is my favorite feature as it forms solid clumps that don't fall apart which makes cleaning the box a lot easier. I like that it's unscented since strong fragrances tend to bother both me and my cats. The odor control is sufficient and holds up well between cleanings, especially in a multi-cat setup. The granules are a bit heavier which seems to help reduce tracking compared to lighter litters. It's advertised as low dust and while it's better than some brands, I still notice a bit of dust when pouring or scooping. The litter and dust will also stick slightly to the bottom of the box if not enough is used. Still, the consistency and performance make it a solid choice without too much hassle.

I honestly wasn’t expecting to love cat litter this much 😂 but this stuff is amazing. It clumps super well, keeps the smell under control, and doesn’t leave dust everywhere. I use it in my iRobot 4 and it works flawlessly for it! My cat had no issues switching to it, and cleaning the litter box is so much easier now. I’ll definitely keep buying this!

Did a 25 day test w/ World's Best Cat Litter Clumping Litter Formula, Nature's Miracle Just for Cats Corn Cob Litter, and Just the Crystals Premium Crystal Cat Litter. I've also previously used Dr. Elsy's Precious Cat Ultra Premium Cat Litter and can offer a comparison with it as well. (#1) World's Best: Clumps very well and doesn't track much at all. There is a small amount of dust, but the dust appears to have a large particle size and doesn't stay airborne, so it settles quickly back into the box instead of getting all over everything. There is a slight odor to the litter which is a little unusual, but it doesn't smell bad, and it seems to control the cat odor well. It's also light weight, which makes it easy to scoop. My four cats had no problem w/ World's Best. Of the four litters, this is the one I'll probably end up going back to. Some people look at the cost per pound and say it is too expensive, but it is less dense than the clay litters, and as a result it takes less poundage to fill a litter box. While I didn't measure this precisely, I'd tend to say the 28 lbs bag of World's Best goes at least as far as a 40 lbs bag of Precious Cat (or other fine clay litter), which makes the costs a lot more comparable (just don't overpay for the litter - some of the Amazon marketplace resellers gouge on the price). (#2 - tie) Just the Crystals: I tried this litter based on the excellent reviews here on Amazon. It doesn't track very much at all (and given the large granules, it is easy to vacuum up when it does). It is easier to scoop than the others, as you just scoop out the poop and then stir it - you don't need to remove the urine. While that sounds a bit gross, it really doesn't appear to get wet, smelly, or dirty any quicker than the others. I was also really impressed with the manufacturer, who definitely seems to stand behind their brand. All of that said, while Just the Crystals is much less dusty than the clay litters, it did create a small amount of airborne dust while scooping. It wasn't particularly objectionable, but was more than either Nature's Miracle (which had none) or World's Best (which settled before getting very airborne). My cats also used this box less than the others, though they've never used a crystal litter before and likely just aren't used to it, which I can't hold against Just the Crystals. The verdict? I probably won't continue with Just the Crystals myself, but if I used an automatic litter box this would probably be my litter of choice. Price does seem a little bit more than other premium litters when measured by volume (not weight), but because you don't throw out the peed up litter, you still have just as much litter in the box after 3 weeks as you had when you filled it initially (versus the other litters where you're steadily throwing away litter as it gets peed up), which balances things out a bit. (#2 - tie) Nature's Miracle: Basically zero dust, very lightweight (so it is really easy to scoop), and it also smells great coming out of the package. It does track a bit more than the others, though that's only a minor annoyance to me (could be worse depending on where the box is). The real problem though is that it doesn't clump well, and since the clumps fall apart, small pieces of old, peed up litter gradually build up in the box, which means it starts smelling bad faster. While I used Nature's Miracle for years, this is eventually what pushed me away from it. If they could fix the clumping issue, this would probably be my favorite litter because of the non-existent dust and light weight. The clumping issue is a fairly big deal to me though, and World's Best gets me most of the advantages without that major disadvantage. Per unit of volume this seems comparable to other premium litters - perhaps a bit less than World's Best or Just the Crystals - but you might need to change it more often to keep it from smelling bad, which could make it less cost effective. (#3) Dr. Elsy's Precious Cat: Clumps extremely well and controls odor quite well. When I had a stray cat and her kittens, this is the litter I picked once they were of age to use a litter box (rather, I used the kitten version of it) because it seemed to control the odor the best for the longest period of time. It does track a bit more than the litters with larger granules (like World's Best or Just the Crystals), and it's fairly heavy, which makes it harder to scoop and change. The worst part is the dust though. As the litter ages, the granules seem to break down into smaller pieces that go airborne and make absolutely awful dust. The older it got, the worse it became. Scooping it would set off the smoke alarm in the room, and I had to wipe down everything in the room with a wet rag to remove the thick coating of litter dust. With one box in the past (prior to this test), it eventually got bad enough I felt like I had to cover my mouth while scooping it. I've tried their Respiratory Relief version as well, and that wasn't any better. I've also tried mixing it with a less dusty litter like Nature's Miracle, but that made little difference. Price per unit volume seems a bit less than World's Best or Just the Crystal's (more comparable to Nature's Miracle - maybe a little less than it too), but I wouldn't use it anymore even if it were free - can't stand the dust. As for test methodology... All of the boxes were changed the same day. They were also washed before changing them using fragrance free detergent (I use fragrance free laundry detergent to do the boxes - it's mild, leaves no odor, and I'm sure won't irritate my cats). The litter boxes are converted from large Rubbermaid totes (I needed something with high sides as I have one cat that sometimes doesn't squat and pees over the sides of regular litter boxes). I scoop them once daily at night. While all of the boxes are pretty large (again, they're Rubbermaid storage totes), one is about 50% larger than the others. Historically, my cats have preferred that box, perhaps because of the extra room. In this test, that box had World's Best, and, true to form, they used that box more than the others. That said, the box size may factor into that. Also, I did not actually measure volume for the price comparisons. Those are very loose estimates based on how much it felt like I needed to dump into the boxes to fill them. At the end of the day, the price differences between them weren't so significant as to be the major differentiator between them.

I’ve had this on AutoShip for years now and I love it. It’s very pet friendly, it’s easy to clean and there’s no dust. No dust at all and I didn’t realize that until I went to clean and found that there is really no dust. It’s also very easy to clean and clumps perfectly. It’s not flushable, don’t flush it. My mom‘s girlfriend came over and thought it might be a good idea and easy to flush, this was a mistake. Whatever you do, don’t flush. I didn’t realize how good this was because I didn’t realize how much easier it became until I noticed I was doing much less work. Being a parent to two cats is a lot of work and Dr. Elsey’s has made this so much easier. It is unscented so you want to stay on top of the litter boxes, but it’s really easy with this litter.

I’ve been using this litter for years. It’s one of the most affordable options out there. It has low dust, is easy to clean, and my cats have never had a problem with using their litter boxes. It also does a good job with keeping smells to a minimum, as long as my cats cover their business properly, of course. I clean their boxes at least once a day, maybe twice a day. I have two cats and three boxes. I find that the more often I clean, the easier it is to clean, and the litter stays fresher for longer, too. I’m going to try adding some activated charcoal to their litter, to see if I can keep it going for even longer, before I need to dump the box and reset with totally new litter.
