It's heavy, but worth it!!! - This is THE BEST cat litter I've found in 30 years of having cats. I've tried them all! The clumping, the non clumping, the natural, the silica crystals. Trust me, you just go nose blind! This litter right here Dr. Elsey's Ultra is absolutely THE BEST for odor control! I had a friend visit whom I hadn't seen in over 10 years, and he said he'd never know I had cats had he not seen them. I have an open floor plan, the litter boxes are in one corner of the large open house. We actually have 2 litter boxes because there are 3 cats and for now 2 is fine, that's what we have room for in that one corner available for litter boxes. No odor. It is absolutely lower dust than all the other litters I've tried! Low tracking! It wouldn't track in my house at all except my new kitten likes to play in the lower side box and kick litter out in all directions. Before she came along, there were no issues with litter tracking anywhere. I had a small rug under the bigger box and that was it. Very nice. It's definitely harder clumping than any other litter I've used. Makes scooping really easy. I waste less litter because I can do the extra shake or two with the scoop to get the loose litter out and not have to worry about the clump breaking apart. I seriously wish I'd have found this litter so many years ago. I found it almost 2 years ago I think. And I won't use anything else as long as they're making this. I usually get the 40 lb bags, I did get the 18 once when money was a bit tight. I also buy from other sources when it's on sale. I know my delivery guys don't like bringing it but I'm so glad to get it delivered! Sometimes there are free food samples or free collars in sealed bags in the litter bag. My cats enjoy these food sample treats, shhhh don't tell them it's not really treats lol. This litter just really is amazing! I highly recommend it! If you've got tub from one of the other brands, keep it to put this litter in. Otherwise, I keep my bags in a closet so the kitten doesn't dig to the bottom throwing all the litter onto the floor. Ask me how I know that's what happens lol. Very good litter. Very good price for what you get and how well it works and how long it lasts. I recommend it to everyone I know, and even people I don't know. All the cat groups, I mention this litter. It really is good. You won't regret it. Review: I settled on this after a few years trying different litters - I wanted to give a very detailed review because I tried using reviews to choose litter, but it was very hard to do because often the reviews vary wildly in describing the same qualities of the same litter. I’ll start by saying I’ve tried Fresh Step, Tidy Cats, Arm & Hammer, Pretty Litter, and various other silicone litters before settling on this one. I have one short haired, older female kitty who has one litter box. For a long time, I used Arm & Hammer clump and seal litter. I didn’t hate it, but felt like it didn’t clump as well as it could and I wanted to try something else. So I switched to Pretty Litter for a while because I liked the color changing aspect. However, I started to notice that it wasn’t lasting as long as it was supposed to and I didn’t want to keep paying that much for something that wasn’t doing what it was supposed to. I liked the no-clump aspect, but it seemed to irritate my kitty’s toes. She was constantly picking stuff off the hair on her feet (and she doesn’t have long hair at all) and I felt like it tracked a lot. I then tried a few different silicone litters, but the more affordable ones were too hard to find regularly (ie often out of stock). So after all that experimentation, I had a few qualities I was looking for: - low dust - low tracking (I live in a very small apartment where there aren’t many steps between the litter box and the couch or the bed) - low odor - hopefully non-clumping I ended up compromising on the non-clumping part, because this litter meets my other wish list items so well. - Dust: I haven’t tried some of the “natural” litters like the ones made from corn, wheat, etc. so I can’t speak for those. But otherwise I have used many of the popular litters and I have concluded that there probably isn’t a 100% dust free litter. I think it’s just the nature of such a product. However, this has less dust than any other litter I can think of and I love that. - Tracking: again, not sure if there exists a 100% no track litter. But in my experience, this tracks the least. I did notice after I was sick for a couple weeks (still scooping ofc but not as worried about cleaning up the litter on the floor) it did start to get a little spread out and ground into the carpet. But as long as I was vacuuming regularly I barely noticed any tracking. - Odor: this and the low tracking were probably the main selling points for me. I’ve honestly forgotten to scoop the box a couple times because I. NEVER. SMELL IT! Even when scooping it, it hardly smells. Only towards the end of its life cycle does it tend to stink much, but again, that’s only when scooping. And I use the scent free one! I hate the smell of scented cat litter (it gets too strong for me and in my head it’s a “cover up” smell, like spraying perfume on a dirty shirt or pants lol) I think this is the best quality of this litter. If odor is your sticking point, I’d definitely recommend trying this. - Clumping: as I said above, this was what I compromised on. **This IS a clumping litter.** But it clumps EXTREMELY well. Honestly sometimes it’s a bit like scooping a rock. If it’s a larger clump sometimes I have to put in some effort to break it in half. So because of that and how great the other qualities are, I was fine with switching back to a clumping litter. I have a Litter Genie so it’s not too much of an inconvenience. Actually, my only (very minor) complaint would be that the clumps get too heavy to fill the Litter Genie bag as full as I’d like, but it doesn’t bother me that much. - Price: I haven’t sat down and figured out how this one compares to the others in terms of price, but it’s at least comparable and I think very reasonable for the quality of what you get. The 18lb bag is a little more than enough to fill up the litter box, and has been lasting about a month. So glad I decided to try Dr. Elsey’s! I hope this review is helpful to anyone else shopping around for litter like I was. ## Features - PREMIUM QUALITY: A combination of premium texture and granule size made with 100% bentonite clay for maximum clumping creates litter particles that are just the right size. - LOW DUST: Ideal for cats and owners who suffer from allergies with a 99.9% dust-free and hypoallergenic litter formulation. - HARD CLUMPING: Hard clumping medium grain clay helps prevent moisture from reaching the bottom of the tray and forms hard clumps that won't break down, making it easier to scoop. - SUPERIOR ODOR CONTROL: Formulated for single or multi-cat households with natural ingredients to keep your home smelling clean and fresh between litter box cleanings. - LOW TRACKING: A unique formulation of medium grain clay helps keep litter in the box where it belongs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009X0QSY | | Best Sellers Rank | #2 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #1 in Cat Litter | | Brand | Dr. Elsey's | | Brand Name | Dr. Elsey's | | Capacity | 18 Pounds | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 95,026 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000338004183 | | Included Components | Cat Litter | | Item Display Weight | 8.16 Kilograms | | Item Form | Granular | | Item Type Name | Cat Litter | | Item Weight | 8 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Precious Cat | | Manufacturer Part Number | 235U | | Material | Clay | | Material Type | Clay | | Model Number | 235U | | Pet Type | Cat | | Scent | Unscented | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Target Species | Cat | | UPC | 000338004183 | | Unit Count | 288 Fluid Ounces | | Warranty Description | Guaranteed litter box use | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Dr. Elsey's - **Capacity:** 18 Pounds - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00000338004183 - **Item Form:** Granular - **Item Weight:** 18.75 Ounces - **Material:** Clay - **Scent:** Unscented - **UPC:** 000338004183 - **Unit Count:** 288 Fluid Ounces - **Weight:** 8.16 Kilograms ## Images ![Dr. Elsey's Ultra Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter 18 lb Bag - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+fEhgjJkL.jpg) ![Dr. Elsey's Ultra Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter 18 lb Bag - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IHPvsIh4L.jpg) ![Dr. Elsey's Ultra Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter 18 lb Bag - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71S2HPaLtxL.jpg) ![Dr. Elsey's Ultra Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter 18 lb Bag - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710iTXdW1XL.jpg) ![Dr. Elsey's Ultra Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter 18 lb Bag - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hm2+yORxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Bought twice-1st time loved it, 2nd time stuck like glue to bottom of litter box.Has anyone had same problem? I added a few inches but it didn't help.** A: Yup. We were using this litter for a couple of years and lately it becomes a thick mess, like fresh concrete, on the bottom of the litter box and its a real pain to scrap out the wet litter. We are now mixing it 50/50 with the "world's best kitty litter" because I don't want to throw it away and the "worlds best" while great at clumping is not as good at odor control. Something changed in the manufacturing of this product for sure! **Q: what is the litter made of?** A: It's NOT dustless. To see this the best, watch and breathe as you tip (however gently) new litter in the pan. We get the best food, can't afford the best litter so found this to be the best (we were on Arm & Hammer but they changed and got super dusty), then price started going up this year so we went elsewhere. Have use dpine which is good, but you have to clean every day as its non clumping, just lays on top. Spending a bit more now on Wheat litter, NO DUST when you pour, cats are ok with it. Hope they cough less than with clay. Whats the point in the best food and then giving them clay (ALL clay litter produces dust and the cats are way more sensitive to it then us). **Q: How does this compare to "Fresh Step" when it comes to the amount of airborne dust? Thanks!** A: We, too, used Fresh Step for years, until we discovered Precious Cat. Unfortunately, all cat litter has dust that can become airborne. That said, Precious Cat by far has the least amount. We have seven litter pans in one area (currently four cats) and keep an air cleaner there as well. Sweeping or vacuuming in the area daily is a must to keep litter from being tracked throughout the house, which gets crushed underfoot and can then become airborne dust. **Q: Is this litter sented?** A: No. The label/description is correct :"it controls odor naturally without perfume, deodorants or chemicals".This is an unscented litter vs some that say unscented but if you dig deeper (bad pun) you can find "masking scent" as seen in some air/room/fabric deodorizers. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best litter EVER!!!!
