It seems like the people who don't like Dr Elsey's really like WBCL ~ I really didn't care for WBCL. I know someone that tried Dr Elseys because I told her it was great and she insisted that the litterbox smelled awful and she had to go back to her old litter... I can't explain it.
Another thing I like about Dr Elsey's is that they give free "shelter cat kits" to rescue organizations. The kit includes a booklet, coupons for free litter and a sample of Cat Attract.
I have always been pretty anal about scooping and cleaning the litter boxes. People have told me many times that they wouldn't know we had cats, if they couldn't see them. Sooooo whatever I was using before changing to Precious Cat, was working... as far as smell. BUT the difference, for me, was the next to NO DUST issue.
I hate to admit this, but it took me changing to Precious Cat to realize the kitty sneezes (and not covering) were because of the previous litters. You know how "we" ASSuME certain things are "normal,"
and then find out later that they are not...
The donation of Precious Cat litter to shelters is a wonderful thing! Mannnnnny people continue to use whatever the shelter was using. That's cool that there are probably a lot of kitties out there
not having to deal with the perfume smells or dust issues that most other litters have.
