Why it matters
Naturally Fresh is made from all-natural walnut shells, an upcycled food byproduct, produced in solar-run facilities. The super-absorbent formula produces hard clumps in as few as 15 minutes without sticking to the box.
The material is low tracking, and the maker says it neutralizes odors better than clay, pine and other natural litters.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Eco-minded owners
- Self-cleaning boxes that take clumping litter
- Low-tracking needs
Look elsewhere if
- Crystal-tray boxes
- Owners who need the hardest clumps
- Very high-output cats (can soften)
Pros and cons
Pros
- Hard clumps
- Upcycled
- Low tracking
Cons
- Dark color hides urine signs
- Heavy 30 lb bag
- Distinct texture
Limitations to weigh
- In a self-cleaning box, use it only where the box's maker accepts clumping litter; most globe and open-top boxes do, crystal-tray boxes don't.
- Switch litters gradually by mixing in the new one over about a week; abrupt changes can put cats off the box.
- The bag weight is what you carry, not how long it lasts; lighter formulas cover the same use with less weight.
