Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this paper pellet litter for virtually eliminating dust and drastically reducing tracking compared to clay alternatives. Many highlight strong odor control that lasts longer than traditional litters, making it especially valuable for homes with multiple pets or animals with respiratory sensitivities. The eco-friendly recycled paper composition appeals to environmentally conscious users, and reviewers report successful use across ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, and puppies. A small number mention inconsistent odor performance or texture concerns, but the vast majority consider it a superior, long-term choice.

No odor control

Rebecca

1 month ago
I like the pellets and have been using pine pellets for many years that get sand when wet. Using this brand for the first time and it's difficult to tell when it's wet and does not absorb liquid as much. Some urine pools on the bottom of the box. The ammonia smell is the worst I have ever encountered.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great for messy kittens and kitty patients!

I first got this litter to try for a litter of foster kittens at their messy age, and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. Despite it not being "prefect", it is PERFECT for what I needed: low tracking pellet litter with good odor control that's fragrance free and overall safe for kittens learning how to use a litter box. I have since introduced it to the vet clinic where I work, and we mainly use it for our messy kitty patients. It has definitely made cleanup much easier for us and less stressful on the patients if we need to clean them (no more sticky clay litter on fur!). What about the scented version or pine pellets? I'm not against using them if your cat is ok with it, but fragrances and pine are potential allergens to cats too, which is why I like that this is fragrance free and made from paper. My sister is also allergic to fragrances (and pine), so this litter is also safer for her to handle when she helps me out with fostering. Some cons to note though: the pellets are VERY absorptive, but they do not necessarily disintegrate, only swell up. Trying to separate them from the fresh litter can be difficult (it's not a big deal for me, but something to consider). I also DO NOT recommend this for anyone seeking long term odor control and/or has a cat that urinates excessively/has strong urine odor unless you are capable of cleaning out the box daily. Again, I've found that this product has pretty good odor control overall, but compared to regular clay litter, it's still not as great. Otherwise, it's advertised to do what it's supposed to do, and for something I didn't expect much from initially, I am very happy with this product

Yes, I recommend this product.

No dust but low odor control

jkumar06

I’ve been using this for 8 months now. I have a cat with cerebellar ataxia who benefits from pellet litter and it definitely is good for her paws. However, it starts smelling bad within 3 to 4 days. My cat drinks lots of water and pees about 5 times a day, and not being able to scoop pee or sift it out definitely contributes to the poor longevity. I will be switching to pine pellet litter. I do like the size of the pellets and the volume.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Best for essentially NO tracking

Betty24

5 months ago
I have two cats and shifted to this litter from World's Best about 6 years ago I guess, completely frustrated with the dust and tracking with that option (when you step on a natural product it generally turns to dust i think). This paper litter solves those issues completely and this was enough to have me wish to stay with this product were it not for being unreliably stocked. I got an overnight email on my repeat delivery order saying sorry, cancelled, we don't have it. Puts a cat owner in a bad situation especially with a litter you can't pick up in any local store. So for the first time in my 30 plus cat owning years I am using a clay litter (A&H brand). I myself miss this paper litter and, even though I have very sweet and adaptable cats, they prefer the clay. I knew they would. Cats like to dig and kick which they can't do much of with pellets. Also a drawback for them is that you can see when they are in poop position that the pellets, being an unstable base, often shift under their paws and so they slip a bit. I came to feel at the end of my senior cats life that the hard feel of the pellets might have hurt a fragile senior cats paws. He did pee then often outside the box though I think it was his senility rather or more than the litter accounted for that. Bottom line, if this were reliably stocked I would not have switched. Previous to the canceled order there were sometimes inconsistencies with the product quality that were annoying but not the dealbreaker the cancellation was.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Very little tracking!

Miss Persnickety

I use an inexpensive clay litter and then layer the top with the paper pellets. This reduces tracking tremendously. I used to hate how the clay litter used to be all over the floor as it would stuck on the bottom of my kitty's paws. I thought about how to solve it and then I found this paper pellet litter. Voila! In wanting to be cost effective, I continued with the clay litter and added a top lay of the pellets.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Worst pellet litter

SQ NY

The pellets don't disintegrate like the pine pellet litter does when wet. The wet pellets stay solid and stink. I clean the box as needed, as in 3 or more times a day. I guess So Phresh must mean stinks.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Terrible Product

jdpjdp

Purchased paper pellets as they were out of pine pellets. The smell of ammonia is terrible. The pellets do not clump or disintegrate. Cleaning the litter box is just dumping it all out, so I guess I will go through it in no time. It is not worth $18 and hope I can get a refund.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hard pieces of “plastic” in litter

Cats all day

8 months ago
I have been using this litter for years. It’s certainly not good at odor suppression, but I refuse to use clay litter and it’s not horribly tracked by my cats. However, This morning I discovered hard, small yellow and colorless pieces of material in one of the litter boxes. I panicked wondering if one of my cats was passing stones or crystals. After an unsuccessful internet search trying to find anything that matched it, and unwelcome bladder presses on all of my cats, I thought to check the unused bin of litter. After sifting through I found another piece of the yellow plastic. Seeing as this is supposed to be recycled paper I’m not sure how plastic ends up in there. The point of this review is to save someone else a panic attack and $$$ down the drain at the vet if you also find it. I left a question in the question section too so it’d be helpful to know if anyone else has seen this. I’ll probably be switching to a different pellet brand after this experience.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 10 of 19 Questions

Has anyone found small yellow and/or colorless pieces of hard material in their bag…like a really thick plastic? I found pieces in a litter box this morning and thought it was stones/crystals from one of my cats until I found more in the unused litter.

  1. Never seen them



How hard are these pellets? I have a kitten with sensitive paws and would like consumers opinions before I purchase.

  1. The pellets are firm but smooth and light—easy to dig through. I don’t have any kittens, but I cannot imagine the litter would scratch or irritate a kitten’s paws.



Can this be used for birds cage? Is it safe for them? 

  1. I wish I knew.  I use this for my Japanese Chin puppy, he is 9 years old.  



What is an ALTERNATIVE USE for these pellets? I bought too many & didn't return them in time. THANKS

  1. You could donate them to a local cat shelter



I bought three bags of this litter. I was very happy with the first bag that opened. Unscented and worked great. The second bag has a strong mildewy smell. I don’t see any mold or anything different from first bag-just has a strong smell. Anyone else?

  1. I have been using this litter for about 8 years. I have 10 cats...so I buy 12 bags a month. YES!!! Sometimes the litter has problems. Sometimes the pellets are small, or large or smashed. Sometimes the smell is awful...like toxic. I keep using it because it doesn't track. I take out the solids....stir the rest....and completly change the litter every 3rd day. I have better luck with the one that says..."clean fresh scent" and has the siamese cat on the bag. Quality control is lacking for this product and the price just keeps going up. It use to be $10 a bag and now is $17. I keep buying though as it still works the best for me. I've tried everything out there. Just have Petco replace your bad bag. That's all you can do. Hopefully...they'll get more consistant with the product.



How do you scoop it? The pellets don't sift out. I'm wondering if it's because I've mixed with regular litter till the cats get used to it. Do you just try to scoop out the dark paper?

  1. Hi Gramma jean, It is possible that this is due to mixing with regular litter causing it to be harder to scoop or potentially the type of scooper that is being used. For best use, spread 3 inches of litter evenly, ensuring the bottom of the litter pan is dry. Remove with a litter scoop specifically targeting the areas your cat used, the darker paper. Scooping frequency is up to your preference, but it is recommended to scoop once daily. Dependent on how often you are scooping now this could also be a reason it may be harder to scoop. Hope this helps! Thanks,



Do I need a special box for this litter?

  1. No.



Is this packaging recyclable? 

  1. No, the packaging is a celophane (plastic) thick enough to handle weight and shipping without breakage.



What is the difference between So Phresh Odor Control Paper Pellet Cat Litter, 25 lbs. w/brown & white Siamese cat on it and the other So Phresh Odor Control Paper Cat Litter, 25 lbs. w/orange & white cat? The say the same things.

  1. I think the orange cat is fragrance free.



Will this product ever come in a paper bag? The contents are great and provided some peace of mind that it is recycled paper but the packaging is counter to that. I'd feel even better buying the product if it were in a recycled bag.

  1. I agree but as a customer I cannot answer that. You should contact the manufacturer.
