How to Find the Best Eco-Friendly Cat Litter for Your Cat Kid

You want the best things for your cat kid: healthy food, non-toxic toys, environmentally-friendly cat litter. But with all the choices out there, how can you be sure you’re getting the best natural cat litter for them? Read on to discover the difference between Naturally Fresh and the competition.

Walnut litter vs. clay litter

Many pet parents start out with clumping clay litter because it’s readily available and inexpensive. It can also be heavy, dusty, and unhealthy for cat kids. That’s because many clay litters contain silica, tiny crystals that absorb urine but aren’t biodegradable, and produce dust that can be harmful if inhaled. Unlike clay litters, our walnut shell cat litter is free of silica dust so you and your cat kids can breathe easy. Since Naturally Fresh is made from all-natural plant-based ingredients, fine particles are naturally occurring and are necessary for the high-performance clump that many pet parents are looking for in a non-clay cat litter. Best of all, they’re not harmful to you or your cat kids.

Another point in walnut litter’s corner: the organic odor control of the walnut shell. Naturally Fresh doesn’t need to add perfumes like most clay litters do, which often create a new odor rather than neutralizing odors. Instead, Naturally Fresh’s starring ingredient gets rid of cat litter smell the fresh and natural way.

How do corn cat litter and wheat cat litter compare to walnut cat litter?

If you’re looking for the best clay-free cat litter, corn-based cat litter and wheat litter will probably make your research list. They’re both healthier for the environment than clay litters, low in dust, and — depending on the brand and your home’s plumbing — flushable. But when it comes to the best cat litter for odor control, walnut shell cat litter wins. That’s because walnut shells have the organic ability to neutralize odors, particularly ammonia. So if your cat litter box smells like ammonia, cat litter made out of corn or wheat won’t eliminate the smell like Naturally Fresh will. Plus, Naturally Fresh is biodegradable and compostable, an eco-friendly choice that doesn’t compromise your principles or your plumbing.

Pine pellet cat litter, wood pellet cat litter, or walnut shell pellet cat litter?

Some cat kids prefer burying their business in cat litter pellets. This non-clumping litter option is low tracking and virtually dust-free. And because the pellets are made from natural ingredients, this option is another eco-friendly cat litter choice. So which option should you choose? Yet again, walnut shell cat litter proves to be the best at controlling odors. Our non-clumping pellet litter has up to seven times more odor control than the other leading non-clumping pellet litters. Another bonus? It’s great for all small animals, so if your cat kid has a hamster brother, a rabbit sister, or ferret siblings, they can all use the same pellet litter formula.

The test results are in ... and walnut shell wins.

Naturally Fresh conducted a Dräger test to see how our litter compared to other leading clay and natural cat litters. Thanks to our starring ingredient — the odor-absorbing walnut shell — we rated the best in neutralizing unwanted ammonia. While other eco-friendly cat litters have their benefits, Naturally Fresh stands out from the competition in multiple ways, particularly when it comes to eliminating cat litter smell.
