Q: there is no scent shown on the box is there a no scent option?

submitted by itapia - 1 month ago

Q: This product has specification listed that it up is made from clay, but the box says made from American grain. Are both true? I bought this because I found out clay-based litters contain lead & other toxins.

    I am on my 3rd box and this is by far the best. Nice light scent, really locks in odors. I have 9 cats. Best litter by far, the clumps do exactly as the box says, super tight, they don't fall apart like other brands and litters. So beyond happy and the outside is very reasonable too!!

    I bought this litter about a month and a half ago and I am thankful that I opted to try it. The level of absorption, the lightweight of the litter and it has a gentle scent that is not overpowering. I will not be going back to my other litter. Definitely recommend for cat parents!

    Too expensive

    Suzanne - 23 days ago

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, it's a bit too expensive for my limited budget. The odor control is excellent, and the clumping action makes it easy to scoop and clean. It has some tracking issues, those are minor inconveniences compared to how well it performs in other areas. If you’re looking for a good litter that controls odors well, this one is definitely worth considering!

    I tried this for the first time and won’t be using it again. It has a strong smell that I hate; I always use unscented. And my cats don’t like to go in it. Only one cat has actually used it, twice, and it does not make a hard clump. The ball of urine breaks up into little pieces. Now she won’t go in it anymore at all. Sorry, but it is a no for me and my cats.

    I have been using this cat litter for about alittle over a year now. It definitely does the job: traps oders, dust free, clumps up amazingly. The ONLY downside and for that I don't give it a 5 star is the smell. Its powerful and a quite overwhelming. I really hope the company can create an unscented option or something less overwhelming, otherwise I'll need to swap it for another brand.

    Best Litter Ever - 2 months ago
    We have always used traditional clay clumping litter. I hated the smell and the dust. When our old boy started having a large urine output, he would step in the wet spots before it clumped and I would have pawprints all over my floors. I have always like A&H products so gave this a shot because of the claim that it clumps fast. It's a very fine grain, so it does track a bit. But I don't have a complaint at all about the smell. It clumps great, barely sticks to the bottom of the litter box, and I can toss the scooped litter directly into my kitchen garbage can (#1 and #2 included) and can't smell it at all. My only complaint is that when I scoop, it doesn't shake off the excess on top as much as traditional litter. It's a bit harder to do so this might waste more litter than needed, but I don't feel like I'm going thru it at a ridiculous level. Have been using since September 2024 ish and never plan to switch back. Vacuums and sweeps up just fine.

    We were disappointed with the other brands we were purchasing, not clumping as advertised sticking to the bottom of the litter box even when cleaning on a daily basis. Hardball was a complete game changer for us, it is an awesome product. It clumps as described, it is so easy when cleaning the litterbox, it comes up clumped and doesn't stick to the bottom of the litterbox. My daughter now uses this product for her little feline friends. I highly recommend this product.
