Frequently asked questions
Does litter type change usage?
Yes, clumping litter is typically used more efficiently than non-clumping, and crystal litters last longer per pound.
How often should litter boxes be scooped?
Daily scooping and a full change every 2-4 weeks (for clumping litter) keeps odor and usage under control.
