Product Description

Carefresh Pet Bedding - The safest, healthiest bedding for your pet. Carefresh Pet Bedding is a patented small animal bedding made from reclaimed pulp waste. This short-fiber pulp can't be made into paper; it's free of inks, dyes, clay and chemicals used in the paper making process.

Carefresh Pet Bedding is tested for containments and sanitized to 380F to reduce bacteria, mold and fungus. Unsurpassed odor control. Carefresh Small Animal Bedding provides unsurpassed odor control for your pet habitat. Unlike other bedding material, Carefresh pet bedding works to suppress the formation of ammonia, the primary odor caused by pet urine. Super Absorbent. Carefresh Small Animal Bedding absorbs 3x its weight in liquids from pet urine or water bottle leaks so cages stay clean and dry. Carefresh Pet Bedding also lasts twice as long as shavings so you save time and money. Less dust. Carefresh Pet Bedding is softer and less dusty than other forms of small animal bedding. It's cleaner and healthier for you and your pet. Good for the environment. CareFRESH Pet Bedding has turned pulp and paper industry waste into pet owners' favorite brand of pet bedding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good odor control, April 1, 2009

I got a sample of Carefresh Colors from the petstore when I bought the Hamster cage kit and loved it. I've owned guinea pigs, rats and hamsters before but had never used Carefresh Colors. I was impressed with its softness and its ability to absorb fluids and odors.

It was time for me to buy some more bedding and I thought Carefresh was pretty much the same as Carefresh Colors, except that Carefresh was less colorful. Out of the bag, I was a little disappointed, because the bedding was not as soft and fluffy as Carefresh Colors. It has more the texture of something I might expect if maybe I wet a bunch of newspaper, wadded it up, let it dry and then shredded what was left. It's rough and dry.

My hamsters don't seem to mind the change. They shred the Carefresh to make it fluffier for the little corner they like to burrow in. It's just as absorbent as the Carefresh Colors and controls odors just as well. The cage smells nice and fresh. Although it's not as pretty as Carefresh Colors, there is an advantage to it being a drab grey, the feces don't show.

If softness and bright color is important to you and your small pet, get Carefresh Colors. If hiding the feces is more important, regular Carefresh is best. If you are looking for absorbance and odor control, they both work equally well.

UPDATE: I did not like the first batch of Carefresh, which I based this review on. However, my second batch of Carefresh from a different is a lot nicer. It's softer and ligher in color.

Although I still prefer the softness of the Colors, regular Carefresh does have advantages. The hamsters like to clean their cage of poop. When they see it, they throw it outside the cage. With the Colors, there's poop everywhere. They don't seem to see poop as well with the regular Carefresh, so I don't get so much poop all over outside the cage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best cat litter ever, October 6, 2008

It's not marketed this way, but CareFresh is absolutely the best cat litter you can buy. It's completely non-toxic (clumping litters are toxic if ingested; cats lick their feet, and we all know what happens if dogs get to the cat box). It tracks much less than clay or clumping litters. It's light weight. It absorbs urine completely and there's virtually no odor. It's compostable. There's no scooping; for one cat, I empty the box once or twice a week. It's simply the best, safest, and easiest product to use for cat litter.

I have used this for my bunnies for 7 years now. It is absorbant and captures the odors. I always buy the 50 liter size since it seems the best value. Ordering online is slightly cheaper than the retail stores and I have the convenience of delivery to my door. This is a great product for rabbits.
