Dr. Elsey’s Ultra Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter, 40 lb

Dr. Elsey’s Ultra is an unscented clumping clay litter. It uses a mix of heavier granules and medium grain clay to form firm clumps and hold down odor without added fragrance. This is the 40 lb bag.

Who it suits

Homes with one or several cats, owners of sifting or automatic litter boxes, and anyone who wants a litter with no perfume. It is a solid default clay litter if you do not need a lightweight or plant-based option.
