Fresh Step Odor Shield Multi-Cat Clumping Cat Litter, Febreze Freshness Scent, 38 lb, Easy Pour Pouches (4 Pack)

I have had cats for 20 years and have tried almost every brand of clumping cat litter from generic store brands on up. I was devoted Scoop Away fan for years but something changed around the time of the COVID lockdown and the quality went way down hill - uneven size/sharp pieces, tons of dust, etc. My cats hated it and one of mine resorted to peeing just outside the box (which is a clear sign they know where to go but there is an issue with the litter or the box). Made the switch to Fresh Step and never looked back. Yes, it is a bit more expensive than the rest but it is worth it and Walmart has the best everyday price I have found for the 38 oz 4-pack (I do sometimes purchase the 42 lb version from one of the warehouse stores when there is an extra sale/coupon). I prefer the 4-pack because I can work with 1 bag at a time. 1 bag is perfect for a litter box change and it is easier to manage the smaller bags than the big box or giant bags. Yes, there is a bit of dust when I add fresh litter or change the litter box, but that is the only time it happens and I just hold my breath or look away. It is not an issue when my cat uses the box (I have watched). People need to be realistic - any litter can only control odor to a point. You have to sift the box of pee and poop every day and change out the litter completely and clean the actual box every once in a while. Plastic is porous so if your box is plastic, you should expect to need to replace it every few years as they will become permanently stinky. I also sprinkle a layer of pure baking soda at the bottom of the box every time I change or add litter to help control odor. Also get a washable mat. I stopped using products marketed as "litter mats" because no matter what they claim, nothing truly stops litter scatter. I now use a 2x3 or 3x5 machine washable rug (like the kind you would get for your kitchen, bathroom, or in front of a door) that I can shake outside and wash as needed.

The driver was so kind. She rang my doorbell and I was going to leave the kitty litter downstairs until I had some help to bring it upstairs. After a few minutes I saw her leaving and I opened the door, and she brought it up for me! What a wonderful person! That was some heavy weight to carry up 2 flights of stairs! I thank her so much! Now that’s customer service at its finest.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Fresh Step Odor Shield cat litter to test and review. The most telling thing about this litter is that my cat, who is usually sensitive to change, didn't mind this litter! It don't upset him in any way and he continued to use his litter box like normal. The litter did exactly what it claimed to do: it clumped well and made sifting easy. It also trapped odors well; we never smelled foul odors while testing this litter. Fresh Step Odor Shield is a good cat litter that makes maintaining your cat's litter box easy and provides solid odor control. We give it two paws up… recommend!

I have 9 cats andabluepit/bullmastiff. At 67 it's difficult for me to physically shop for my pet supplies because I can't lift the product sizes I need. Delivery is a blessing because I only have to get the supplies into the house and into the pantry.

Fresh Step has been out favorite cat litter for years! Our cat Lucy loves it, and no one who comes over to our house even knows we have a cat until they either see the litter box or see little Lucy coming out to say hi, because you can't smell anything but pure freshness!

We have four indoor cats who refuse to go outside because of the dust. This product is a purrfect fit for our gals. Easy to scoop for cleaning and no offensive odors when we are using this product. It's almost like a heavy duty sand and clumps easily. One 4 pack usually lasts for 6 weeks and that's with scooping twice per day.

Pick up service at Wal Mart is so convenience. This litter weighs a lot and at 74 very hard for me to pick up. You brought it to my car and loaded it. At home, I opened the package in my car and it consisted of 4 smaller packages which I could handle.

This is the only litter that I have used since I got my first cat. It controls odor completely (our little box is kept in a main area, but out of the way) and nobody knows that it is there. I have tried many other brands, but nothing compares to this particular one.

I ordered Fresh Step MultiCat but received Fresh Step Odor Shield. I should have been contacted to either accept another type of Fresh Step or given the option of canceling that order which is supposed to be Walmart's policy. With that said Fresh Step is the only litter I buy for my kitty and i'm sure Odor Shield will work just fine. I still gave 5 stars as Fresh Step is the best for odor and dust plus it has a light pleasant scent.

They have changed this litter. It has no dust now but after a few days it has a foul odor and the litter turns dark. When you scoop out “stuff” it crumbles and leaves little pieces you can't get. I e used this littler for over 10 years but not anymore. They have changed something and the price keeps getting outrageous!!
