WHY IT EARNED THE GH SEAL

Tidy Care Alert Cat Litter impressed our Lab pros and at-home testers who appreciated the easy-to-clean formula (a.k.a. say goodbye to clumps) ands found the litter's health benefits put their minds at ease

  1. HELPS MONITOR YOUR CAT'S HEALTH The unique "pH-indicating crystals" in Tidy Care Alert litter change colors to help you track your cat's healthy baseline against changes in their urine that can necessitate a conversation with your veterinarian. “It's a great product to use,” commented one tester. “The color changing is nice to know my kitty is healthy.”
  2. ABSORBS WITHOUT CLUMPING Our experts reviewed data that showed that this formula can absorb at least its own mass in liquid, and because it doesn't clump, you can simply remove the solid waste and stir the liquid back in until it's time to change the litter. One hundred percent of testers gave this litter a perfect score for absorbing urine effectively. They noted that they liked that the lack of “heavy clumps” and that it is “easy to scoop.” One tester said, “I think the litter does a fabulous job of absorbing the urine and its odor! Our cat favors the front of the box, and after 10 days, I can't even tell that she has gone there at all!”
  3. LESS WEIGHT AND DUST THAN TRADITIONAL LITTERS All of our testers confirmed that this litter is lightweight and easy to pour. Said one tester: “It was very easy to use — my kitty loved it.” Testers also gave Tidy Care Alert litter a high score for producing minimal dust, reporting that they “loved the low-dust aspect.”
  4. CONTROLS ODORS A cat-safe synthetic silica helps to reduce the scent of ammonia, even after a month of simulated cat usage. One tester confirmed that there was “no smell, even when I tried not cleaning the litter box for more than two days. Totally amazing.” Other Tidy Cats litters — the Comfort Scented and Unscented — also performed well in our test regarding odor control for households that have two or three cats. A tester who opted to test the Unscented reported that it “had absolutely no scent, and I am extremely scent sensitive.”
