sWheat Scoop Natural Wheat Cat Litter, Premium+, Strong Clumping and Odor Control, 36 Pound Bag

After many. many years of dusty clay litter I finally switched to sWheat Scoop litter. The idea of using something healthier for both my cat and me was very appealing. Even more convincing was finding all the places where the clay dust had sifted in what I always viewed as my tidy bedroom suite. There was clay dust in every crevice, even inside the motor casing of my ceiling fan. A major cleaning took place and then the new sWheat litter. I didn't want to deal with another clay dust clean up so I crossed my fingers and dumped it in the clean pan. (They tell you to transition the cat onto the new litter over a period of days) RP loved it! Jumped in, gave it a good inspection and then had a nice wee. He has been happily using it ever since with no issues. I keep a nice deep layer in the pan at all times and scoop daily. By doing this, there is no odor, unless he jumps out without burying his treasures. The urine clumps nicely and is easy to scoop and dump into little dollar store trash bags, the same with his bm's although if he doesn't bury that and I notice it in the pan, I scoop it up, give it a shake to get rid of the loose sWheat granules, drop in the toilet and flush. The questions everyone want to have answered.... What does it smell like - there is a faint scent, a bit like dry sweet hay. Is it dusty - there is a bit of dust when you dump it in, but very minimal and nothing like what I had from my high end 'low dust' clay litter. Does it track - yes, but again it is not as much as the old litter. Because of the way cat feet are designed, litter is always going to get between toe pads and when they jump out it will fall out. I keep a little dust pan & brush next to his litter pan. When I do the daily scoop routine, I flick my little brush around, gather the bits in the dust pan and dump back in the cat pan. It only takes a minute to clean up. and now for the big question.... Does it smell bad and the big answer... If you don't properly maintain your cat pan, it is always going to smell bad. Stale urine and feces develop a very unpleasant odor. BUT,,, if you keep enough litter in the pan, and scoop once a day, EVERY DAY, you will not have any odor. If you have four cats like my friend, the pan may need more attention than just once a day - or a second pan available. I am on my third bag and very happy. The dust is so much less than the old clay litter. Any dust or scatter is much safer for both you and your cat. It isnt chemically treated clay that is terrible for your lungs. The bags aren't as heavy to lug around. No fake perfumy smell that both you and the cat hate. It works for us.

This stuff is pretty amazing. We have two cats who share a really oversized litter box that I made for them out of a giant plastic storage tub with a lid. It was taking 60lbs of clay-based litter to fill it to 2 inches deep (the recommended depth for cats to be "happy" with their litter box). The clay litter needed to be changed completely every two weeks, even though we scoop religiously every day, or the smell would just overwhelm our garage. Swheat Scoop was recommended by our vet due to one cat developing allergies. We were skeptical as all getout, but willing to give it a try. First of all, I can tell you that it only takes 1 25lb bag of this product to fill as much space as 60lbs of clay. It smells great coming out of the bag, like a grain elevator in a farming town. The cats took to it right away with no problems. Urine clumps up just as good or even better, and feces smell disappears immediately after the cat buries it (of course if they neglect to bury it, the smell lingers). Scooping is about the same as clay, although it seems to take just a little longer for the Swheat to fall through a regular scoop. We might look for one with slightly larger slots. The BEST thing about this stuff??? It really eliminates odors, at least to us it does. We have now experimented several times, and are consistently able to leave the Swheat in the litter box for 3-4 weeks (again, scooping religiously EVERY day), the smell never gets too unpleasant, and the cats continue to use it faithfully. We just keep adding a small amount to make up for what is removed that has clumped with urine or attached to feces. All in all, it has been a great switchover for us and our cats. It's a little spendy, but it lasts longer, has less dust, a pleasant odor, and yes, apparently you can flush the clumps down your toilet (this is something I would never do, though). The price on Amazon Prime, which saves shipping and tax, makes it a substantial savings over buying it at a local pet store. Highly recommended product!

This is my favorite litter so far. Natural and safe incase you have one that eats it occasionally like I do. It clumps wonderfully and is pretty low dust. Secret is sprinkling some baking soda in weekly when you add more litter. Helps loads towards the clumping and it doesn't smell much. Gets a bit of a smell if you don't clean it once a day at least but if you clean it daily and sprinkle the baking soda weekly I don't smell a thing with two cats only if I forget a day. Way better than the supposedly low dust clays I used to use. Clumps as well or better than the clay buy the clay used to leave a fine grey dust over my Entire room where the boxes are kept and everything in it. Hated that. This one has hardly any dust. Costs a bit but worth it to me to not have to wipe clay dust off a whole room several times a week or worry about my dumb orange boy getting an impaction eating it.

I’m torn on what review to give this litter. On one hand I love that it’s biodegradable & that’s it’s made of wheat!! Those are two fantastic points! So on those two things I give it 5 stars for sure. However, the price with this litter (& all kitty litter honestly) is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! Also, this litter claims to be 99% dust free & to not smell. Both of these claims are false. It’s a little less dusty than regular clumping litter but certainly not dust free!! The litter smells after it’s been in there for a small amount of time. It definitely didn’t preform as well as I had hoped with smell. So on dust & smell category it gets 3 stars. Price is 1 star. And if you’re thinking this litter will be lighter & easier to lift—you’d be mistaken!! But then, only the lightweight litter isn’t heavy. One thing that the litter didn’t really tout was how well it clumps….but it’s by far the best clumping litter I’ve used!! 5 stars on clumping ability!! I do also want to note though that I have a 6 yr old female who has urinary issues (that developed due to the added minerals in store bought kibble & she is also a little high strung). So she used the litter box with this litter just fine at first (probably about 3 weeks or so) but then even after I had emptied the entire container & filled with all new litter, she rejected the litter box & wouldn’t use it at all. So I had to stop using it all together. I do love that they came up with a more environmentally conscious alternative & I would love to see this company stay in business. So definitely give this litter a chance because what didn’t work for my household may work for yours!!

I really love this cat litter! I first began purchasing it just over 7 years ago. My 2 cats turned 8 years old back in March. I got my cats through an adoption program through Petsmart. Before I left the store with my cats in tow, I grabbed a bag of clay cat litter, canned food, and wet food and took them home. At that time, it had been about 13 years since I'd last owned a cat, so I didn't give cat litter much thought. I don't remember what brand the clay litter was, but I do remember it was perfumed. It was a turn-off to me, and I wondered if my cats would be offended by the fragrance and refuse to use the litter box. Fortunately, they weren't put-off. But after about 6 weeks of using the clay, I thought there had to be a better litter product out there. Clumping clay litter was a better product then what I was using 13 years prior, but I still hated having to bag up the little "gifts" my cats would deposit because you can't flush clay. Certainly by now there had to be a scoopable, flushable litter available. I started researching online. I came across an article that stated the following "None of us would ever intentionally cause our cat harm. But many people don’t realize that something as simple as cat litter contains many hidden dangers – to your cat and to you. Litters that contain perfumes as odor control can irritate cats’ eyes and aggravate allergies. But that’s just the start. Popular among many cat owners, some clumping litters can be downright dangerous to cats. Many litters contain a compound known as sodium bentonite as the clumping agent, which expands to 15 to 18 times its dry size when wet. Cats lick their paws, especially after being in the litter box, and can get internal blockages from the dust alone. Many cats and kittens eat litter. This can have deadly consequences as the litter swells in the intestines, especially in kittens. If you use litter with sodium bentonite and your cat experiences constipation, muscle weakness or lethargy, get them to a vet ASAP. Ever worried as you pour litter into the litter box if that dust swirling up is harmful? Many cat litters contain quartz silica. Silica dust is a known carcinogen, which can cause respiratory problems, some as serious as lung cancer, in your cat. Although there are no known studies on the effect of silica dust from cat litter on humans, many guess it could very well have the same effect on us. So what’s a cat owner to do? Look for a cat litter made from wheat, newspaper or corn, which is free of dyes or perfumes and does not contain silica or sodium bentonite". Wow! After reading that article I determined to replace the clay litter with a wheat litter. That's how I began using sWheat Scoop Multi-Cat litter. It’s silica free, naturally clumping, biodegradable, flushable and contains no perfumes. When it is time to scoop the box I just use my foot to move it up to the toilet (litter box is in the bathroom), scoop, and flush! Couldn't be easier! sWheat Scoop is more expensive than the clay litters, but the decreased health risk to my cats and the convenience for me make it well worth it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I usually avoid writing negative reviews about a company or product, and I rarely write any reviews at all. I am, however, making an exception in this case, in hopes it will be used as a constructive criticism and learning experience for the company itself. Perhaps this was just part of a defective lot of substandard litter that failed quality control, and mistakenly hit the market. Whatever the reason, the bottom line is, from the very get go, this bag of litter proved to be a torture to my nostrils!!!!! I am an experienced cat mom, with decades of multiple kitties under my care. I had many people come to my house over the years, and compliment me for how clean my house is, and how I managed to keep it from smelling like a "cat-lady house" in spite of multiple cats! I have been using corn and wheat litter for years now. I never bother if it's expensive or cheap, as long as it does the job. I like to try different brands, and this one attracted me after seeing it at a friend's house. But again, she was using the original version, so I want to be fair and clear in that regard. I followed the user guidelines to a T, in hopes to fix the problem, all to no avail. The unrelenting stench overpowered my entire apartment like never before! I clean the cat boxes religiously, I add fresh litter every time I scoop the litter. This time I went above and beyond my already diligent standards, as soon as I noticed the strong and unpleasant smell, and still, I got tortured non stop by what proved to be a very crappy product! Since I stay home a lot, I can clean the boxes pretty much every time I hear one of my 2 kitties use it. I am beyond diligent about cleaning/washing the boxes, and still, from the get go, my entire house stank of ammonia like some evil lab scientist would have after a failed chemical experiment! The litter itself, even after the freshly added, reeked with the fumey odor of urine/ammonia! An absolute nightmare!!!! I woke up nauseated!!!! Every time I opened the door to my house I was greeted with an overwhelming stench! Whatever "enzymes" are supposed to be present to control the odor, and do whatever they are supposed to do, are missing from the bag I purchased! I understand that some people mistakenly expect cat litter to perform miracles, even if they go for days without cleaning the cat box. I could understand if it had become super stinky after a couple of days of neglect, but this is absolutely not the case, and that is why it bothers me so much that I decided to write this review!! As I said before, I purchased this brand of litter after noticing it at a friend's house. I was pleasantly surprised on how it had hardly any dust, and an excellent odor control. To be fair, hers was the original version, not the multi cat version, since she only has one kitty. So it could still be the case that it is still a good product in that particular version. Since I have 2 cats, I decided to get this multi cat version, also because of so many positive reviews. I really wish to emphasize, just to be fair to the manufacturing company, that her version was the traditional one, and not the multi cat as the one I bought, so this might be a problem exclusive to this multi cat version, or perhaps this particular bag was defective. I will get another bag of the regular version as my friend has and give it a try. Hopefully it will be different. She still likes it, and hopefully so will I. I may come back and edit/update this review in the future, but at least for now I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone and I describe it as the Swheatscoop of torture!

I love that this is made from wheat, and in Minnesota. The litter was easily accepted by my cats, it clumps well and does not seem to be as dusty as some of the previous products we used. I tested this product out of concern for my dogs, who were unfortunately VERY interested in the cats’ litter box 🫣. While I never had an issue, I worried about blockage or other gastrointestinal issues if the dogs actually consumed clay-based litter. This also seems like a greener alternative, although there is much I do not understand about the product’s manufacturing. All in all, I am so satisfied with this product that it is our preferred litter, and it has been for at least a few years now.

Honestly, I expected better. I have been testing litters to see which I like best. I saw this ones clumping capability advertised & thought great! However, it doesn't clump urine like advertised. It's mushy & gross at best. It smells highly of ammonia quickly, so that part is good. Tracking is better than the last litter I tried, but I think I'm going to go back to the last litter I used because it was way better in my opinion. However, insanely overpriced (sustainably yours). The best qualities about this litter is the size of the bag. I'm very happy with the size to price ratio. I just wish it worked better. I have 1 singular kitten & personally wouldn't recommend it, especially for multiple cats. But I do think I'll keep using it for my rats. They seem to do well with it.
