Here are 5 easy ways to use less and spend less on cat litter.

Use a high quality, natural clumping cat litter

A high quality clumping cat litter with great odor control is imperative to making it last longer. The clumps allow for easy daily scooping to remove only the soiled litter and leave the rest. Good odor control helps to keep the space smelling fresh without needing to completely throw out all the litter and replace it with all new litter. 

ökocat natural wood clumping litter works so well, you won't have to change the entire litter box every week, saving time and money. It really is a litter that lasts longer due to its superior all natural absorption capabilities and odor control. With regular scooping, the base litter can last up to 7 weeks!

Simply add new litter as needed after you scoop, keeping about 2-3” in the tray at all times. Plus when cleaning the litter box, remember that ökocat is both biodegradable and compostable – making it better for the planet.

One thing to keep in mind is that cats generally don’t like any change, so if you’re switching to a new litter like ökocat, you should start by transitioning slowly. Learn more >>>

Get the right slotted scoop for less waste

It's important to use a slotted scoop that is best suited for the texture of the litter. No need to get an expensive scoop, just make sure the slots are large enough especially if you are using a pellet litter like ökocat less mess. 

You can find a large-slotted pellet scoop on many online sites. It is especially helpful when the slots in the scoop are located at back, this allows the unused litter can easily fall back into the litter box.  If you have a plastic scoop and need larger holes, just use a wire snipper or sharp scissors to carefully cut out pieces. 

Recommendations:

While we recommend any scoop with large slots, the top three scoops that are compatible with all varieties of ökocat litter are the Litter-Lifter Pellet Scoop, and BasicForm Cat Litter Scoop or modify a plastic one, watch how >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIQBjH9Qt0g.

Place a wide mat or rug under the litter box

All cat litter tracks to some extent which means good litter gets outside the litter box. A litter mat will help catch the litter and then easily shake it back into the box or just use a broom and dust pan.  Even an old rug or towel works great as well. No need to purchase a special one.

Fill the box and scoop often

Don't get skimpy when filling the litter box. We recommend 2-3 inches to provide enough depth for the clumps to form and rise to the top, leaving the bottom clean, no scraping or dumping needed. Don't fill it up too much though if your cat is a digger or a kicker or takes half the litter with them out of the box. A high-sided litter box works great to prevent that. 

It's best to scoop at a minimum of once per day and remove any feces as soon as possible. This helps to keep the litter smelling fresh and therefore lasting longer.

As a cat owner, you are probably aware of the ongoing expense of buying cat litter. It is a necessary expense, but it can add up quickly, especially if you have multiple cats. Fortunately, there are ways to save money on cat litter without compromising on quality or your cat’s comfort. This article will explore some cost-effective alternatives and tips on how to save money on cat litter.

Consider Alternatives to Traditional Cat Litter

So, how to save money on cat litter? Traditional clay-based cat litter can be expensive, especially the clumping kind. Here are some cost-effective alternatives that you might want to consider:

• Pine Or Cedar Shavings: These are a by-product of the lumber industry and can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cat litter. They are also biodegradable and can be composted.
• Recycled Paper: Cat litter made from recycled paper is another eco-friendly alternative. It is usually available in pellet form and is dust-free, making it suitable for cats with respiratory issues.
• Corn Or Wheat-Based Litter: This type of litter is made from ground corn or wheat. It is biodegradable and can be composted.
• Chicken Feed: Some cat owners use chicken feed as a cost-effective alternative to cat litter. It clumps well and controls odor. However, it may attract pests, so it may not be suitable for all situations.

Buy in Bulk

Another answer to your question- ‘how to save money on cat litter’ is bulk buying. Buying cat litter in bulk can save you money in the long run. Many stores offer discounts for buying larger quantities. Just make sure you have enough storage space to store the litter and keep it dry.

Use Less Litter

Many cat owners use more litter than necessary. The recommended depth of litter in the litter box is about 2-3 inches. Using more than this will not make your cat more comfortable and will just be a waste of litter.

How to Clean Clumping Cat Litter

Clumping cat litter is designed to form clumps when it comes into contact with moisture. This makes it easier to clean the litter box as you can just remove the clumps and leave the clean litter behind. Here are some tips on how to clean clumping cat litter:

• Scoop Regularly: Make a habit of scooping the litter box at least once a day. This will keep the litter box clean and odor-free.
• Use a Good Quality Litter Scoop: A good quality litter scoop with small holes will make it easier to remove the clumps without wasting clean litter.
• Top Up the Litter: After you have removed the clumps, top up the litter box with fresh litter to maintain the recommended depth of 2-3 inches.

Other Tips

• Use a Litter Mat: A litter mat placed under the litter box will catch any litter that your cat tracks out of the box. This will save you money on litter as well as on cleaning.
• Reuse Old Newspapers: Line the bottom of the litter box with old newspapers before adding the litter. This will make it easier to clean the litter box as you can just roll up the newspapers and dispose of them.

Recommendation for Icey Conditions

While saving money on cat litter is important, it is also essential to consider the safety of your pets and property during icy conditions. ‘Walk On Ice‘ is a non-corrosive product that is safe for pets, people, and your property. It can be used on sidewalks, steps, or as instant traction for your car. Walk On Ice is made from a blend of natural volcanic rock and seven other minerals, making it an environmentally friendly option for icy conditions.

Conclusion

Saving money on cat litter is possible with a little bit of planning and effort. Consider alternatives to traditional cat litter, buy in bulk, use less litter, and clean the litter box efficiently. Additionally, use a litter mat and reuse old newspapers to save even more money. And don’t forget to consider the safety of your pets and property during icy conditions by using a product like ‘Walk On Ice’.
