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!

So my cat is a rescue so obvs we wanted to keep things as similar as we xould to her previous owner for a while to help settle. So after a year(couple set backs) we changed to this from generic grit from tescos asda and lidl. Brands like catsan other purina variations too. So reasons would Highly Recommend Trying Pampuss. 1.All cat grit cat gels and such all have that same cat toilet smell we try to avoid from the tray. Even tried the sheets for under the grit everything. Soon as touches pee it releases a smell. But there is then then crap perfume smell and as always the cat smell. Well with Pampuss i never notice The Famous Cat Smell. Its like the pine cancels it out? No idea, but it does! 2. With All Grit it never absorbs everything that comes out of my cat. Always the dribble in the groves of the bottom of the tray. The absorbancy with Pampuss is unreal. Ive yet to have a dribble and this is the 6th 30lt bag ive ordered for one cat. 3. With Pampus cleaning it a bloody breeze. Tuck the try in the bag tilt and let gravity to its thing and its all gone. Nothing stuck on the tray, nothing to maually have to scrub off. With grit clumping or not there is always some stuck to the tray itself meaning ive to use more time gloves and sponges to clean it. Pampuss cut my cleaning in half. Now with a tilt done set the tray down spray it with cleaner sit for 60secs and wipe with 1 square of blitz done, it never leaves anything behind. Life can be just that easy. I believe If you want also which i recommend also is you can recycle the litter just remove the dirt and its free compost filler! Would like to note since not using scrubbing sponges to remove all things stuck like glue the cats tray is lasting long than usual which saves me time effort and money for a while. Other reasons to add Pampuss is, with the cat smell/grit smell/ cat pee smell gone from the entire house with this one simple change. I am less paranoid about having family over, i dont feel so anxious that the home is dirty when its in fact scrub every where every day. I can now spot other areas of the house where my cat has marked so now she can be told off and keeping boundaries like this helps with a whole range of things. So yeah could not be happier with a simple swap in all my life. You can tell by how much ive waffled on about it here but still. You'd be surprised

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.

This is very good cat litter and solid packaging that doesn't tear, but sadly because of the sudden massive price hike i have had to go to another one which is just as good and £5 cheaper. If price comes down I will go back to this one.

Very happy I will now. Be placing my regular monthly order with yourselves... I've been ordering this brand of litter through Amazon for several years. However the supplier who I normally deal with has changed the quality of the litter tried to explain even order a second batch incase it was a one off bad batch. Their customer service was horrendous they wasn't interested. It was so bad I had to buy 2 lots within 2weeks needed changing daily. So I search Amazon for other suppliers and found you. So very happy it is the quality I always get. I normally order every 3 to 4 weeks. Kind regards Lisa Celaire

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.

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.

The litter never looks the same from one bag to the next, which I understand can happen as different wood chips are used. Generally this has been okay, but the last two bags have been awful. The pellets are falling apart and lots of dust in the bag. Will be shopping around for a different product.

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

Perfect. As desribed and in time.

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
