Fresh Step clumping litter is the best product. You will not be able to smell your cat or cats. I have three cats and you would never know they are inside only. Your visitors will be amazed at how fresh your home smells ! There is not another brand or kind that performs as Fresh Step clumping litter! Once you try it, you will not use any other!

Love the large 42lb size. Great for having multiple litter boxes in your house. Have been using the fresh step brand for years, never disappointed. My 3 cats use it and don't seem to mind it, never have accidents outside their boxes. Price is great and use auto ship so I never forget to reorder.

I'm okay with the Fresh Step litter. It clumps well helps the litter box stay a little fresher. However, although I like it, it is somewhat more "dusty" than the other litter brand I use. Maybe because it is ground more fine. It still does a great job with oder....maybe better.

The product is well-known and popular. It is helpful that it comes in, I think, four individual bags, each lasting a fair amount of time. It is much easier to lift and carry one smaller bag than to try to carry the larger container, as it is too heavy to carry. I would recommend this product.

Smell GONE

This has been the best litter to control odor to date! I have a senior cat who drinks so much water and uses the box often the urine smell was unbearable. Not anymore

It is a good litter

I was very upset the last time I bought it. It was 42 pounds of litter. And it was only 22 or $23. Last time I bought it, they took out 4 pounds. It is only 38 pounds

I was very upset the last time I bought it. It was 42 pounds of litter. And it was only 22 or $23. Last time I bought it, they took out 4 pounds. It is only 38 pounds now. And they raised the price to $25 or $26. Just like everything, raise the price and make the products smaller

When the dental treats are packaged with the huge litter pkg, it gets crushed. The contents are spilled all over the inside and outside the box. Both are pretty expensive and when the greenies arrive like this, it’s a mess and a poor experience

We have 9 indoor cats and have been using fresh step religiously for 14 years. It has always clumped well, kept the odor at bay, and never bothered the cats. As you may imagine, with 9 cats we have several litter boxes and go through a lot of litter. Over the last 6 months the litter has become increasingly dustier. The cats always smell like the litter, it bothers our sinuses every time we scoop the boxes, our furniture has a layer of dust from the litter that it didn’t have before. We are now looking to change litter after these 14 years which is something we never imagined doing.

Disappointed

Not only did the price go up for 4lbs less, but the formula must've changed bc it doesn't smell as fresh as the gain litter usually does and it's a different texture

Not only did the price go up for 4lbs less, but the formula must've changed bc it doesn't smell as fresh as the gain litter usually does and it's a different texture. I'll be buying mine from Sam's from now on as they seem to still have the original and cheaper.

Smells great, but,

The only padding in the box was a crumple of shipping paper, one of the 4 bags of litter exploded in transit. The box was all taped up and litter got into everything
