Clumping Cat litter ?s.
Trying to find a cat litter that is best for my cat(female) and me(have allergies).
Location- is in a private spot
Box- jumbo size (so has room)
Clean- scoop every time I’ve noticed she has used the box, and brush any residue left on “catchers’ and rug.
Odor- Do not like lingering urine smell
even after it’s been scooped.
Clay- concerns bentonite
Silica- crystals– no due to health concerns
Natural- I’ve tried using several kinds.
I’ve read about concerns of Aflatoxins associated with corn and wheat products. Now using clumping pine(have tried different brands). I’ve sprinkled Arm + Hammer DD litter deodorizer over litter and mix in every time it’s scooped. Still funky smell lingers.
?? – Can I put pure baking soda underneath litter layer.
??? Conclusion: Best litter for my cat-
safe,healthy for her, odor(urine)
control,
low allergy content for me
Hi. I’m not a vet. I just wanted to say that, that must be hard for you. Anyway I hope you find the perfect one and everything will be okay 🙂
Agree with your opinions.
Gracias for message!
Thank you web-dvm!
Like your offer. Agreed.
So I had a cat that had renal disease and My family and I now have 2 new cats. The litter I recommend is non-clumping but I love it! It works really well and doesn’t really smell after they have used it. The brand is ‘FELINE PINE nonclumping with no added fragrances’ It is a 20lb bag and the upc is 7 64375 81559 0 . Now I have used the smaller bag but for some reason I don’t like it. The bigger bag material is different. You can get it at Wal-mart for 9ish dollars. It is worth the money and it works well. To make things better the litter comes in little chunks. When the cat pees in it the chunk absorbs the pee and the chunk falls apart. I like to use small amounts of the litter and change it everyday. However, you can use it for around a week depending how much the cat urinates. It’s sort of hard to scoop out poop cause you will pick up some of the chunks of clean litter but that doesn’t bother me much. As I’ve said, it’s well worth a try. ! Good Luck 🙂
please help me, I don’t have enough money to ask a vet because my mom won’t let me. My cat, Pickles, is sick. He is always sneezing, he is losing hair, and his eyes are not in place. I couldn’t try anything so I really need some advice. Is there anything that I can use at home to make my cat back to the way he was before? I would really appreciate it if someone were to reply. I’m only 13 so that’s why I don’t have money….. I moved to this place so I don’t really know if there is a vet here.
I hope you can help me. My cat was groomed last week and was given gas to put him into a sleep so he wouldn’t bite. When he came home he kept walking like a drunk, falling over, and not being able to jump onto the counter. We took him back to the vets where he was groomed and they gave him some liquid to hydrate him. He still is the same 2 days later. Is this a reaction to the gas? What could be wrong with him? We dropped off a healthy cat to be groomed and we got back a cat that just sleeps and can’t walk or jump. I am very worried and don’t know what to do. I want some info before I take him back to the vet tomorrow. Thank you for any insight.
Please help! My old cat eat poiseness plants. What can I give her to make her better. She has difficulty swallowing. Doesn’t eat or drink. Has been like this for three days. Loosing weight. I can’t afford bringing her to the animal hospital
My cat has been seen by many vets. No one knows what she has. Since little, she has these sort of blood bags under her chest skin that accumulate blood and from time to time a small wound opens and she leaks blood all over the house.It doesn’t hurt it seems, she does her normal routine,plays,eats,drinks.First, vets said it was hormonal and she had to be neutered.she was and nothing changed.it’s been 6 years.some say she won’t die from it,others say it’s cancer.there’s no consensus. And it’s very unpredictable and random. could it be something like endometriosis?
The cat that my wife has found and ended up keeping has been both sick and pregnant the moment that she found the cat. In this situation, I’m guessing that the cat would need to be vaccinated, but with what type of vaccination? Later today, my wife is taking the pet to see the veterinarian and see how to cure her that way the pregnancy can be healthy.
What treatment should i gave to my puppy had a heart worm?
none
I have a dog and a cat who both stay indoors for the the most part. Since there are a lot of mosquitoes where I live, we have the dog on heart worm medication to be safe. Is there a similar medication for cats, or are they not prone to getting heart worm? The cat only goes outside a couple times a week on a harness.
Is there anything I can give an old
cocker spaniel,that. over the counter or home remedies can give her to help her poop.
Giver her either canned pumpkin or sweet potato. The fiber in them works great for the dogs! Pumpkin works for both ways–can’t go, or can’t stop going!
I had a cat die lastnight it had Brown stuff comeing out of its nose
Outside male tabby being kept indoors for healing of a wound. He does not like the other 6 inside cats coming near him. Should I return him outside when healed?
I have 2 female calico cats. One is passive the other I bottle fed and is very curious and to smart for her own good. I’ve spent thousands of dollars at vets due to her curiosity getting into things. She got real sick a few years ago and her brain was literally cooking inside her. After 48 emergency visit she out of it but had seizures for a long time then it just quiet. Well it started again last night and has continued this morning. It’s a normal seizure she has had before. I don’t have money for a vet. I need advice. She is agitated, pupils dialted, heart beat is fast, she is panting, jumping from one thing to the next, she won’t stay still, pacing, tsil moving rapidly, other cat has hissed at her which is totally abnormal. Just schitzo completely. What could be wrong what can I do for her please help.
I have a 35lb dog that has an ear infection. I clean out the ear with alcohol, gave her Benadryl & started her on Doxycycline. The ear is still squishy with liquid. Do I need a stronger antibiotic? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Excellent post. I want to thank you for this informative read, I really appreciate sharing this great post. Keep up your work.
Fantastic post I like it. Keep it up

Thank you!
I think that this is a cool website. It lets me connect to many different veterinarians across the world. That makes it so I don’t have to physically go to an animal hospital. Even better, I’m glad you mention that it’s open all hours of the day!
A lot of people just refuse to acknowledge good content, if they view it. I am going to not. This really is truly spot on. Sometimes, it merely takes a little passion and you’ve definitely got it. You may have seen this site? Can help you venture.

My male dog mixed with shih tzu, has a health problem. He had scratched his skin to the point where all the hair had come off. It was some kind of a bite. The vet shaved the area and put medicine on it. WE have been applying the medicine on the area and wound is dried. We alsogave him kids benadryl to reduce inflammation from allergy from bite. But since the day we went to vet (saturday) he is acting completely abnormal. he is not himself. he keeps lying down. he avoids any interaction. he does not want to walk or play or anything.
I am not a vet. but I would say the Benadryl is making him sleepy and that’s why he keeps laying down….

Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot! kdeegfdefkdbedac

I gave my Husky Bravecto for her fleas and she died forty eight hours later. She found it hard to stand or walk and her pupils of her eyes were dialated and a few hours before she pased away she made a stool where she lay and it was as black as liquerice, can this have been caused by the brevecto?

That is really nice to hear. thank you for the update and good luck.
The feline that my significant other has found and wound up keeping has been both wiped out and pregnant the minute that she found the feline. In this circumstance, I’m speculating that the feline would should be immunized, yet with what sort of inoculation?
I have a 16 year old long-hair tuxedo cat with cataracts. He’s having a hard time making it onto the bed at night, so we’re looking to get him a cat bed of his own (although his brother and sister will probably “share”). Any recommendations for a brand? I need something that his fur won’t clump in, easily washable, and no huge sides (or he’ll never step into it). Thanks!
This information is very important for pets lovers. The information will also help to keep health pets. Thank ypu for sharing.
It’s great that this site allows visitors to leave comments so we can all learn from each other. Vets are great but there are alternative solutions the others can provide for our pet issues.
Congratulations on the great work, I found good veterinary advice.
This is really great work. Thank you for sharing such a useful information here in the blog.

The age old question of being a dog or cat person. Why is that we have to choose one or the other?
Hello, as a happy owner of 2 dogs and 1 cat, I find on this site a wealth of information that we find little on French sites. Thank you for your work.
