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!

This is really good cat litter. We initially used the gravel type litter but everyone we tried, even the expensive ones, were full of dust which is nasty. It was leaving a layer of dust everywhere and it’s really bad to breath this in.We tried sawdust, shredded paper then garden compost for a while which was cheap, non dusty and not smelly but then we decided to try the wood pellets as we could get these delivered so more practical. So pleased we tried it as it’s so much better than anything else.You do get some dusty type bits right at the bottom of the bag, but it’s just small bits of the wood so not like dust which you can breath in.It doesn’t really have a smell, just a bit of a woody smell which is ok.It doesn’t hurt half as much as the gravel type when you tread on it!It doesn’t get walked round the house either as it can’t really get stuck in the cats paws.It absorbs well and is easy to scoop out and see what has been used and what hasn’t.It’s a bit lighter than anything else so helps when putting in bin bags to put out for collection.All of our cats use it whereas some did or didn’t like the gravel and compost and everything else we tried!Having it delivered monthly is so much easier too, maybe not for our delivery driver but it helps us.So overall, having tried everything I’d recommend this type of litter over anything else.

I originally ordered this as I couldn't get any at the shop and was running out so thought I would try it with prime delivery. This is better than the shop bought one I usually get it last longers and their is no ammonia smell coming from the litter tray anymore. Also when cleaning out it doesn't stick to the bottom of the tray like some brands woodbase. The cats seem to like it more to as they aren't scattering it out the tray anymore

The Pampus wood base cat litter is excellent. O have been buying this for over two years now after trying out plenty of other brands. It is definitely value for money in comparison.It helps mask any smell and dries up quickly and so is very easy to to remove.

We used to use a wood pellet product sold here on Amazon, but its price rose by over £4 and there was no way I was going to pay that, when you think wages only go up by a small percentage, if that. I can’t see how these prices should increase so steep . So I decide to use this product and I am so glad I did. It is much better than the other product I purchased of a similar bag size, and we have had two bags of this so far.l, and prices have remained the same! Well don’t seller for this.Hey series of good absorbency and my cats that prefer this one and this also has a much fresher smell to it. For this 30 L bag, we can have two kittens (which would be probably adult size in ordinary cats? as we have two large breed kittens) and this litter last them nearly 2 months. That’s a sieve and top up twice a day and total clean out after 3-4 days depending on if they are in their huge cat palace (as we call it), or indoors more. It’s biodegradable and easy to use, hardly any saw dust residue around the large cat tray (it’s a sieve type system litter tray, all liquids get soaked up by the pellets and fall through into a tray below). We also have a huge honey may ti catch any larger pellets. So the area around their tray is clean. There is no cat pee odour (and we feed our 2 on flat and shellfish). The only time we may get a feint wiff is if we are out all day and evening (v. rare) and don’t shake the peed on pellets through the grill. These turn to saw dust, and get shaken into the tray below. That’s with two kittens, one being bigger than a normal cat. Great value for money. However, should the price go up on this, as the other make did, I will look elsewhere and then probably buy in huge bulk.
