Pettex Pampuss Woodbase Cat Litter 30 Litre

Forgive me if this is a little long-winded, but when I first bought this type of litter I had only ever used "gritty" litter and I didn't know how to use pellets properly and had to search on the internet! I'm glad I did or I would have been throwing away perfectly good litter! So, this is aimed at helping folk who have never used this kind of litter before or been given any advice on "how to". I find this litter is very long lasting, and a good price. I have one cat and have had this bag for nearly 2 months now, I reckon there is still 1-2 weeks' worth of litter left too. It arrived in a very sturdy, obviously waterproof bag, with an address label on, so no excess packaging. An added bonus for me is no lugging heavy litter home from the supermarket/pet store. Firstly, I scoop as soon as she poops usually, and I just use Tesco nappy sacks, a squirt of dettol air freshener into the bag, tie it and place it in the bin, outdoor or indoor depending on the weather. Provided you have a lidded and bin lined indoor bin, you shouldn't get odour leakage - we don't. Even though we have a hooded litter tray there is no getting away from the fact that whatever type of litter you use, cat poops smell terrible! I don't think there is a solution for that problem, it's just part of being owned by a cat! We have a can of Oust on standby for those moments and throw the patio door open. All that said, a couple of times she has pooped overnight and buried it, and when we entered the room in the morning there was no poop smell in the air or even around the litter tray, just the smell of the wood pellets. So I would guess, if your cat buries her poop and you are out all day, you may find the house will not be smelling when you arrive home. That was our overnight experience anyway. My cat likes to dig and bury, so I usually put a nice deep lot of litter into the freshly washed and dried tray at the start of the week and then daily separate the usable pellets from the sawdust. I've found, provided I use a good depth of litter at the beginning of the week, I don't need to add litter during the week at all. Additionally, the tray really doesn't need washing unless there's been some kind of accidental poop contact. To separate the litter, I push all the litter to one end of the tray, take it a scoop at a time and sift over the empty end of the tray. I have a sturdy carrier bag (make sure there are none of those little holes in it!) by the side which I empty the pellets into from the scoop as I go. You end up with a tray with sawdust in it, and a carrier bag full of usable litter pellets. The sawdust can then be emptied into the bin, the compost, the garden, as you see fit because obviously it's biodegradable. I agree with the comments where people say, it literally just smells something like a carpenter's workshop, it's that woody smell, you don't smell urine at all. Once the sawdust has been emptied from the tray, I just pour the pellets from the carrier bag back into the tray, level it out with the scoop and it's ready to use again. Nearer the end of the week you will see the litter level has gone down but there is still plenty for purpose. My guide is that I can't see the tray through the litter, if the tray shows through, it needs more litter. I sift the remaining pellets at the end of the week, wash and dry the tray, then I pour the sifted pellets in from the carrier bag, add a good amount of new litter, mix it all together and the cat is perfectly happy with this. I've had no problems with her refusing to use her tray at all. So if you can spare the time, sifting the pellets from the sawdust is definitely the way forward, you can save yourself a lot of money by doing it this way. As I say, this 30 litre bag will end up lasting me just over two months. I don't think I'd ever go back to "gritty litter" again! For info, I've added a picture of the sawdust you are left with after sifting, and a couple of pictures of the pellets which you are left with after sifting. As you can see there is nothing wrong with the pellets, even though the litter tray had been well used for number 1's!

Great cat litter but the cost has gone up a lot. We have two cats so go through a fair bit. Turns to sawdust when pee’d on but doesn’t stink unless you neglect the tray. Covers the smell quite well. Was originally paying less than £15 with subscribe and save and now it’s almost £20 so it’s cheaper to just get with the shopping as it’s £15.50 at Ocado.

Good cat litter, my cat seems to like using it. Good for the environment. I always use this one now. Good price, lasts about 3 months, for for my cat. Always good delivery and on time.

Fare cat litter. Nice smell. Cat liked it

Does a good job controlling odour and feels much more natural than clay litter. My cat took to it quickly and it clumps reasonably well, though it does track a little. Overall a solid eco-friendly option and good value for the size.

Great quality, great price - recommended

I'm not sure how to even review this product. Sometimes it's absolutely fine, yet other times despite the exact same packaging, the product inside is completely different - a very dark-coloured cat litter that just doesn't work well at all. Almost as if they're just stuffing whatever they've got to hand into a stockpile of 30L bags. I've bought this product many times but you just don't seem to be able to rely on getting a quality product any more. I will be switching brands.

It’s cat litter. The cats do their business in it. It doesn’t clump – instead the wee turns it to dust so you can just sieve it out, which means the rest of the litter stays fresh and lasts longer (a money saver!). Poops are easily scooped out too. The cats are happy using it, and I’m happy because it’s clean and simple to deal with, and the house doesn’t smell like a zoo. Affordable, effective, and no complaints from the feline testers.

Ich hatte von einem Start up aus Hamburg Pellets, welche sehr ähnlich waren (war noch Spirulina mit drin) mit dem ich sehr zufrieden war, dass jedoch nicht mehr im Moment produziert wird. Aus diesem Grund hatte ich mich auf die Suche gemacht nach einem Streu beziehungsweise Pellets mit den gleichen Eigenschaften. Die Pellets sollen nicht Klumpen, sondern sollen dann in Spähne zerfallen. Dies passiert hier genauso und damit bin ich sehr zufrieden. Der Boden blieb immer trocken. Wenn man das Streu um gerührt hat, hoffe das ist hier auch der Fall. Der Geruch ist angenehm, bis jetzt kann ich auch keinen Geruch von Urin feststellen. Vielleicht wäre hier die Idee auch noch Spirulina Algen hinzu hinzusetzen, um die perfekte Geruchsbindung zu haben.

Je ne savais pas comment allait réagir ma Pépète de passer de la litière fine à celle de granulé Eh bien mademoiselle n'a eu aucune hésitation , vu le coût , je vais opter pour celle ci

le problème avec la litière en granulés de bois, c'est que je trouve exactement la même chose sous l'appellation "pellets" en supermarché mais... à 3,95 euros pour 30 litres, j'en achète donc quand je peux , seulement cela donne l'impression d'une arnaque, mais je suis étonnée de voir aussi la même différence en supermarché entre ces pellets et les granulés de bois emballés comme litière (à peu près 4,95 euros/10 l). Et pourtant la composition est pareille, j'ai bien vérifié que les pellets sont des granulés de bois dépourvus de tout additif, et le bois est le même

Great

Le pipi fermante avec le bois au fond de la caisse. Ça laisse une odeur insupportable. Il faut tout change souvent.
