Poor
Not sure why Zooplus are still selling this product. It is clearly inferior quality and the buying team should address otherwise overall custom will be lost

Why have you changed the product !
I have been using this litter for many years with no problems. However recently noticed there has been a change of packaging and also a change in the size of the pellets. I buy this product as I have 4 Longhaired Persians and they didn’t get stuck in the paws resulting in Little tracking. I have now noticed a steady stream of pellets making there way up the stair carpet. This litter is way more expensive than the normal Cats best and I am afraid I will have to look at an alternative.

Not as good as it used to be...... Why?
I have used this litter for a very long time. After having tried many, many different litters, this one was without doubt the best of them all. Pricier than some, much better than the tiny granules of other clumping litters. I have recommended it to so many people. It is with great disappointment that it seems something has changed . Although still good at odour control and tracking , it does not clump anywhere near as well as it used to. Where I used to easily be able to take the clumps out, now it crumbles and you spend ages trying to remove the left over bits. Please whatever you have changed, change it back to how it used to be.... I am almost getting to the point of looking at other litters 😞

Changed
The product that I got this last time does not clump as before. It now breaks up a lot and uses far more litter than it did. Please revert to original formula as it is now not nearly as good or economical as it was.

Seems to have changed and is less "clumpy"
This is still great for not too much tracking and keeping the smells down, but the pee clumps don't seem to set as well as they used to so it breaks apart and the whole tray ends up with bits of disintegrating damp litter mixed in.
This is a real shame as I didn't see me ever changing and now I think I am going to ahve to start searching again :(

Ok but not that good.
Absolutely no smell however it's not as clumping as the reviews make out. If you pick out pee it just crumbles and goes all over the place. Also the pellets are just too big to use a scooper so lots of wasted litter.
Would be top notch if it was more clumping.

Wouldn't buy again
I didn't realise that this is essentially a wood pellet type litter (should have checked and not relied on the 'plant fibres' description). I used wood pellets in the past, this brand does not clump very well (wood pellets don't tend to) and you end up shovelling out 'clean' litter when you're clearing out. It also comes in a large sack which was so heavy I couldn't lift it. I wouldn't buy again. But if you like wood pellet type litter, you'll like this.
Not as good as the oeko plus
We have been using cats best for over 10 years now and usually go for the oeko plus; since our new kitten has long fur we thought we give the nature gold a go, but it is not worth the extra money. You will use up more because it does not clump as well and the thicker granulates do not fit though the holes in the scoop. Cats best is great, but the oeko plus is our preferred option.

wouldn't buy again
Like most cat owners, I am on the eternal hunt for the perfect cat litter, this isn't it. I have 4 maine coons with beautiful long coats, fluffy tails, and extremely furry toes, which is obviously why it does stick to their fur, most breeds don't have such furry feet, so not really suitable for this breed in particular, it does track quite badly because of this, but not anywhere near as bad as the plus (my house looked like an explosion in a porridge oat factory!), and it doesn't clump extremely well either, when you try to scoop it out it falls apart and leaves small urine soaked bits still in the box which in turn start to smell, which defeats the purpose of using a clumping litter in the first place. It doesn't last as long as the plus,it doesn't clump as well as the plus and it's more expensive.

OK but not great
I was over the moon when I found this litter - one that clumped and could be composted, supposedly didn't track out of the litter box and controlled odours. However, my only real gripe with it is that it does track out of the box, to the point that I have woken up in the morning to find my bed full of litter where one of my cats has climbed under the duvet to keep warm and I am always having to vacuum up litter from around the tray.

Does what it's supposed to, but at what cost?
Despite the reviews, I decided to go with the pellets because I just couldn't stand the fine litter being spread all over the flat anymore. In this respect, Cat's Best Pellets are a real lifesaver. My cats do carry out a few pellets, but nowhere near as much as before. Unfortunately, the absorbency is so poor that huge clumps form and the usage is enormous. In the long run, the litter becomes so expensive that a robot vacuum cleaner probably would have been cheaper.

Not exactly what I need
It raises no dust, and that's exactly what I want! But it doesn't cover the smells at all!!! And it's expensive.

Worked fine for a year
I wonder if something has changed because my cat doesn't want to use the litter box anymore. We've now found a different type of litter, but it smells really bad. She does use that one though. But she won't use the old one anymore... It's a shame, because I actually liked the wood one the most.

Quality has declined
I used to be happy with the Smartpellets for a long time. But for about 10 months now, the packs have contained a lot of pellet dust and small husks, meaning little broken pieces. I always have to sift out the pellets so there isn’t so much dust in the litter box, which my furry friend would breathe in while scratching. If the dust gets a bit damp, it turns slimy, and that’s not very pleasant for a sensitive nose. Because of all the little bits in the litter, it also stays much...

Comes with a lot of dust
I've been using it for a long time and it's the best I've tried, but it keeps coming with more and more dust. I hope they improve that.

Great, but getting worse over the years
I've been using the pellet version for over 8 years now, and compared to the granular one from the same company, it makes much less mess around the house. However, I've noticed that the last few packs are a lot dustier (fewer pellets and more granules/dust); the price has gone up ridiculously, which I can understand, but the quality has dropped.

Decline in quality. Gets everywhere
It’s very efficient, but it gets everywhere. Even with a special mat in front of the litter box, I still find bits of litter in my bedding. Every time the cat leaves the litter box, there’s litter on the floor and wherever the cat goes with it stuck to their paws. Getting it off clothes or bedding isn’t easy. And no, I don’t have the litter box in the bedroom...

Doesn’t clump well
I tried using Weego pellets, but my cat just wouldn’t use them at all. I’m not sure if it was because of the fine texture or the smell, but she always preferred regular litter. So I bought this Cat’s Best one to try, and she used it straight away. The pellets are thicker and there’s no smell, but they don’t clump well and you end up with loads of loose bits. The Weego one clumps perfectly, it’s brilliant, but this one doesn’t. For now, I won’t be buying it again.
