Short version: Anyone else use wood pellets for litter? Is the dust a problem for you? Is a home air purifier the best or only option to help? I feel like breathing in wood dust is probably not a great thing.
Longer:
I currently have generic bags of "Natural Pine Pelletized Bedding for Horses and Small Animals" from Tractor Supply Company. I recently changed after using Feline Pine for awhile, but FP was ~3x the cost which is not great for a 5 cat household. The biggest issue I have so far is the dust kicked up when I pour it into the litter box. I don't recall the FP being as dusty, though I'm sure some dust must of have kicked up.
Besides pouring it really slowly, does anyone have any bad experience with it and/or suggestions on how to handle it? I do worry about the air quality in my house, especially now that the weather is getting colder here in the NE United States. I'd like to eventually get an air filter, but we have to be tight with our money right now thanks to COVID related layoffs :-(
Thanks!
