If you want a lot of dust all over everything in the room where you keep the litter box, this product is for you. The reason we started buying Arm & Hammer many years ago was because it was a low dust litter. Now it is completely the opposite. We use several boxes of kitty litter per month, so it isn't like we got one bad box. We finally gave up on this on this one because of the mess. The only thing I can say for it, is that it clumps well, But most brands do that.

My roommate has 2 cats and normally uses Tidy Cats but decided to try something with a little bit more odor fighting power. It does change color and clump a lot better than the other stuff but it doesn't deodorize very well. Even when only one cats is using the box the smell still is stronger than it was with Tidy Cats. I'm always spraying air freshener. However, we also live in a small apartment so maybe if you have more room than it would work differently. I would save your money.

Given the many wonderful uses of Arm & Hammer baking soda, I had high hopes for this product. However, I was disappointed in its inability to mask odors. In fact, it seemed to perform as poorly as generic brands.

I wouldn't recommend this litter to anyone.

I have three cats, and we are forced to put one of the litter boxes in our guest bathroom (in the closet where the washing machine/dryer is).
I decided to give this litter a try, thinking that Baking Soda would be better at controlling the odor.
Boy, was I wrong! The first time one of the cats used the litter box, I knew I was in trouble. The stench was horrible! AND, this litter does NOT clump at all. I keep the depth at 3-5 inches, and usually when they urinate, it clumps into a very hard ball that is easy to remove, and doesn't break apart. THIS stuff crumbles apart very easily, and I am left with a litter box full of little "pieces" of urine-soaked clumps that fall through the scoop.
I am extremely disappointed in this litter, and will not purchase it again. I'll stick with my Tidy Cats from now on.

I have two cats and I think that this is pretty good cat litter. I like Fresh Step Lavender, or the Arm And Hammer Essentials even more - but, this is still pretty good litter. It has less tracking out of the box and better odor control than Tidy Cats (Tidy Cats seemed to work OK, until cat # two!).

We have used Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Clumping litter in the past and found it to be quite satisfactory. When I saw the Amazon cost was $6.95 for a 14 pound box, I thought that was a reasonable cost and ordered the product. As one reads the information about this litter, they learn it has been discontinued, which lead me to believe was the reason for the lower cost. HOWEVER, the shipping/handling was $11.97 which is outrageous. I purchased by using one step so I missed the s/h line. The cheap turns out to be expensive!!

The seller simply through the box of litter into another box without any protective packaging. Thus, I opened the package to find that the box of litter had split open in shipment. Thanks, guys.
