Hi everyone. I've been a user of Dr. Elsey's Ultra and Low Tracking since forever. I've been eyeing alternative litters like crystal for sanitary and hygienic reasons, especially with preventing bacteria growth in the box.
I saw that Dr. Elsey offered crystal cat litter. I bought the long hair friendly crystal cat litter due to its larger granules that would hopefully prevent tracking as compared to the smaller sand grain sized ones.
The cats have taken well to it. But I have a couple of complaints, first, it's dusty, when I'm stiring the boxes and scooping the poop, dust kicks up. A lot dustier than the clay litters from Dr. Elsey.
Secondly, it seems to be pretty mediocre for odor control. The smell of cat urine is still pretty strong. I've been having to spray litter deodorant on it.
It dries out poop well, at least.
Any tips or other recommendations? Brands? If Petco offers it for pickup in store, I'm all for it.
Thank you!
