Great litter - No more dust or chemical smell!, April 28, 2006
This review is from: Swheat Scoop Wheat Litter - Ss25-860275 - Bci (Misc.)
After not having a cat for two years, we now have three! I keep the older cats out in the garage and the baby's in a closet in the guest room. Right away with the previous scoopable litters I noticed such a strong chemical smell. Yuck! If it wasn't good for me to smell, it sure wasn't good for the cats. Swheat scoop seemed to be the closest in texture to the old litter, so I thought I'd give it a try. Initially, the older cats were a bit hesitant to change, but they never went outside their litter box and quickly got over it.
The litter scoops very well as long as you let the urine sit for a bit after they use it. I like to scoop the older cats litter at least once a day. The litter in the house does get scooped more often, but I could probably get away with once if I needed to. I wouldn't leave it less.
DO keep a deep layer of litter in the box. It will last for up to a month, though I like to empty it and clean out the litter box every week or so and then you can re-fill it with the old litter. The only thing I don't like is that when the cat pees in the corner of the litter box, sometimes it does stick to the sides and doesn't clump properly. That's the main reason for cleaning out the box. I'm just picky that way. Also, they do tend to track it outside the box, so I have some mats outside the boxes. It doesn't make it into the house, and taking a vacuum to these rugs occaisionally easily takes care of it. I've been using this litter for about six monthes and absolutely recommend it. I wish I would have used it with my previous cat that I had for 18 years.
Aside from the type of litter, I also believe in keeping one litter box per cat. I actually use the big rubbermaid storage bins for the older cats!

For a guinea pig, June 17, 2006
This review is from: Swheat Scoop Wheat Litter - Ss25-860275 - Bci (Misc.)
I bought this after being told most cat litters were bad for guinea pigs[actually I emailed a bunch of companies]. Not only did my vet give it the ok but my guinea pig likes it. He will never be 'perfect' at using his corner box but he likes to dig in this litter and lay in it. No dust, no smell, no big problems. It won't make him sick if he eats it and it won't cause bad news for his digestive tract. Not to mention I can buy 25 lbs of it and it lasts for 2 months!
I'm not sure how this works as a cat owner but as a guinea pig owner, I have nothing but good things to say.

THE BEST C AT LITTER EVER, December 19, 2005
This review is from: Swheat Scoop Wheat Litter - Ss25-860275 - Bci (Misc.)
I LOVE IT...was expecting to cash in on my "guarantee" BUT HAPPILY WON'T NEED TO, as it's not at all like another sorry excuse for a "natural" litter....
this clumps AS GOOD AS the other clumping NON-FLUSHABLE litters, and yet, it CAN BE FLUSHED....
MY CATS LOVED IT AND HAD NO PROBLEM USING IT...
