Litter quickly forms a clump around liquid waste. Remove clumps and solids daily, and dispose of in trash. Do not flush. Add more Fresh Step clumping cat litter to refresh your litter box. Maintain level of litter at 3-4 inches.

Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this lightweight cat litter for exceptional odor control, ease of handling, and low dust production. The lightweight design is especially valued by those with multiple cats or physical limitations, eliminating the burden of heavy bags. Odor neutralization is the standout feature, with reviewers reporting fresh-smelling homes and litter boxes. Low dust minimizes mess during pouring and scooping, creating a cleaner environment. While some note occasional clumping inconsistency or litter tracking, the vast majority consider these minor trade-offs worthwhile and remain loyal to the product.

New Formula is Garbage!! Don't waste you money!

Feline366

Have used this litter exclusively for many many years until recently when they changed the formula. The new formula is worthless and leaves your box disgusting! Don't waste your money on this garbage. I will be in search of another brand that works.

The new light weight formulation is worthless

Angie000

2 months ago
I've been using Fresh Step for more 30+ years. This new formulation in the jug is the worst kitty litter I have ever purchased. No clumping. No odor protection. Dust everywhere. My cat tracks it all over the house. I had it on auto-ship from Chewy, so I am stuck with some of it. It's so bad I am ashamed to even donate it to the local shelter. I am switching litters. DO NOT BUY. All the product features they list above are lies.

Extremely High Dust & Horrible Scent

Aair

2 months ago
I bought this because it is identified as low dust. It is not low dust. It creates the highest dust cloud I have ever seen from a cat litter. It is so bad, I had to take the litter box outside to clean it (with my hand over my mouth and nose) so the dust would not be in my home. The smell is horrible. If you have allergies, asthma, or simply don't want to have a cloud of dust waft through your room, don't buy this product.

DUST,DUST DUST

PAT 777

3 months ago
BEEN USING FRESH STEP FOR 34 YEARS-LOVED THE LIGHTWEIGHT UNTIL THEY CHANGED FORMULA AND WENT TO THE PLASTIC JUGS WITH LESS IN IT. RESULT I HAVE CATS REFUSING TO USE LITTER BOX AND POOP ON CARPET! 34 YEARS AND THEY CHANGE THE FORMULA WHICH IS BEYOND DUSTY, HORRIBLE AND NOT HEALTHY FOR THE CATS. NOPE-WE ARE SWITCHING COMPANIES . ARM AND HAMMER HAS ALMOST ZERO DUST AND SO WE KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A PRODUCT WITH 99 PERCENT LESS DUST. SHAME ON FRESH STEP FOR CAUSING SUCH CAOS ON MY 3 CATS AND I REFUSE TO HAVE MY CATS SUBJECTED TO THIS FINE NASTY DUST

not happy with the reformulated litter

ShayyMariie

3 months ago
I am not happy with this new product in the jug.. they reformulated the litter because it is not the same at all. So I don’t know what I’m gonna be using now but it’s definitely not this.. because those little pebbles or whatever gets caught in my cat’s paws (only 8 months old) he actually had it stuck in his paw and it caused him not to put any pressure on his foot. Which I felt very bad for him. Change it back please.. my cat would appreciate it very much

Want lightweight litter in a box!

Senior Cat

3 months ago
My cat has always liked your lightweight litter in the box. I have tried your new product, and neither I nor my cat like it. It does not clump as well, and it is difficult to deal with. I always buy boxed litter because I hate to place all of those huge plastic containers in the landfill. Why would you ever go to a plastic container? You offer so many varieties in regular litter. Why not offer your new, not-as-good litter, and also offer the old boxed version. I really hate when companies go from something good to something bad.

Something Has Changed

Eniale

3 months ago
I was very excited when I first discovered this litter. It worked great, was lightweight and easy to lift, and was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, something has changed. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just in't the same anymore. it also feels like I am getting less product now that it is packaged in the plastic jugs. Personally, I preferred the cardboard boxes because they were easier to recycle. My cats don't seem to mind the difference, but I've definitely noticed that the litter doesn't clump as well as it used to. Instead of forming firm clumps, it sometimes turns into a soft, almost mud-like mass that sticks to the bottom of the litter box. I end up having to scrape the box just to remove it. I am very reluctant to switch brands because one of my cats is extremely finicky. If she doesn't like the litter, she'll start urinating outside the litter box, so changing products isn't a simple option for me. Please consider changing the formula back to what it used to be. It was an excellent product, and I'd love to see it return to its original quality. Thank you!

Formula change has been terrible

af21

4 months ago
I am very disappointed. I’ve been using Freshstep for ~13 years. I am not sure why the formula was changed, but it is a lot more dusty and does not cover smells at all. It is terrible for clumping too. My cat started to pee outside of the litter of box as soon as the formula changed.

Is this litter nontracking?

  1. Not much tracking....I actually switched to Cat's Pride which I found to be very little to near no tracking.
