For cat owners, choosing the type of litter that's best for your feline friend is just as important as cleaning their litter box regularly in order to keep them happy and healthy. The two main types of cat litter that you can choose from are non-clumping and clumping litter. Non-clumping litter is made of particles that do not clump together and remain separately even when soaked, meaning it hardly absorbs anything when coming in contact with your cat's urine or stools, while also creating a lot of dust when scooped, to which your cat may be sensitive to, and could potentially even cause them respiratory problems. Alternatively, there's clumping litter, which forms clumps when it comes into contact with your cat's liquid or solid excretions. This type of cat litter is made from natural materials like plant fibers, making it capable of absorbing a large volume of liquid and locking away bad odors, while also allowing it to be easily scooped out and disposed of when cleaning your cat's litter box. For a high-quality clumping litter option, go with the ökocat Original Premium Clumping Wood Cat Litter by Healthy Pet.

This clumping litter is relentless at controlling odor and absorbing liquid on contact to form solid clumps for easy scooping and cleaning, while also offering a pleasant and playful texture that's easy on your cat's paws, along with a fresh natural scent that's reminiscent of the great outdoors.

Now, let's talk a little more about the ökocat Original Premium Clumping Wood Cat Litter, where we'll go over the formula that makes this premium natural clumping cat litter so special and also discuss all the benefits that it can bring to cats and their owners.
INGREDIENTS USED & MAIN HEALTH BENEFITS
Starting with the ingredients that are used to make the ökocat Original Premium Clumping Wood Cat Litter, know that this premium, biodegradable, natural clumping cat litter is made from 100% plant-based materials.
More specifically, it is crafted from sustainably sourced, responsibly rescued natural wood fibers from upcycled wood consisting of a blend of spruce, fir and pine woods. All that sourced natural wood is dried at a very high temperature to guarantee the removal of any volatile oils or phenols, which ensures that this clumping litter is safe for all cat breeds.
The choice of only using natural wood fibers from upcycled wood to produce this natural clumping litter also means that it does not contain any artificial fragrances, harmful chemicals, toxic dyes, nor mined clay or silica, as the company does not utilize any of those substances when processing it.
Its precision-cut wood fibers make it relentless at controlling odor by naturally preventing enzymes from bonding with liquid and solid waste.
Not only that, but its natural wood fibers also allow it to effectively absorb liquid (i.e. urine) on contact to form solid clumps for easy scooping and cleaning.
The end result is a premium and 100% natural clumping cat litter which has a pleasant and playful texture that's easy on your cat's paws, packs a fresh natural scent that's reminiscent of the great outdoors.
Since this clumping litter is solely made from natural wood fibers, this also makes it naturally lightweight for easy lifting, pouring and disposal when cleaning your cat's litter box and replacing its litter with a new, fresh batch.
Lastly, this litter is also rated to be 99%-dust free. This is particularly thanks to the process the company resorts to for crafting those wood fibers, which are first processed, washed and screened via a special proprietary process which melds those fibers together to produce a finished pellet that's then dried and re-screened once again.
HOW TO INTRODUCE YOUR CATS TO THIS CLUMPING LITTER?
When first introducing your cat to this new brand of clumping litter, the company recommends for cat owners to start by filling half of their cat's litter box with half of their current litter brand and half of ökocat Original Premium Clumping Wood Cat Litter when doing the first litter change.
For the following litter change, the company recommends going with 1/3 of your current litter brand and 2/3 of ökocat Original Clumping Litter.
Once your cat shows signs that it is comfortable with this change in type of litter, you can finally fill his / her entire litter box just with ökocat Original Clumping Litter.
With regular scooping, one bag of this natural clumping litter can last up to 7 weeks.
