NEW Naturally Scented Fresh Step Litter Giveaway

July 5, 2013 / 45 Comments

If you love cats, sharing makes us purrrr :-)

We have the scoop on what’s in the latest Fresh Step^® Litter and you can win a box! They’ve combined natural essential oils of lemongrass and eucalyptus to chlorophyll with activated carbon in high quality clay. The result is a natural way to block odors almost before they begin. We were naturally curious to test it and see how it compared to our favorite litter from World’s Best Litter. The scent out of the box is strong but pleasantly herbaceous. The scent dissipates once poured into the litter box. All of our cats accepted it without a problem. If you have a cat that prefers unscented litter, I would suggest not switching to a scented litter. The medium-sized clay granules are flecked with some blue ones (chlorophyll) and tracked very little dust. The clumping and scoopability is good. The odor control is excellent. The key selling point for us is the price which is lower than the competitors. However we prefer a non-clay litter with a softer texture. If switching litters, always do it gradually. Mix a little of the new litter on top of the old one, increasing the amount over the course of a couple weeks.

Please note: ALL litter boxes with clumping cat litter regardless of their odor elimination properties must be cleaned DAILY for the health and happiness of your cat.

PRODUCTS:The exclusive plant extract and chlorophyll ingredients have been added to Fresh Step litter products, including:

· NEW Fresh Step^® Triple Action Litter: Activated carbon and added plant extracts fight all three sources of odor: urine, feces and bacteria. SRP is $10.29 for a 20 lb box.

· Fresh Step^® Multi-Cat Scented and Unscented Scoopable Litter: Even in multiple cat households, the carbon and plant extracts in this litter formula eliminate odors naturally. SRP is $10.29 for a 20 lb box.

· Fresh Step^® Odor Shield Scented and Unscented Litter: This unscented litter contains activated carbon and plant extracts eliminate odors naturally, without any perfume or dyes. SRP is $10.29 for a 20 lb box.

· Fresh Step^® Extreme Odor Control Scented and unscented Litter: The patented CarbonPLUS™ technology eliminates extreme odors from urine and feces and now features improved odor control SRP is $10.29 for a 20 lb box.

Nope, don’t want a box. Essential oils are toxic for cats because their livers can not process it.. it is speculated that even sniffing essential oils can cause harm. Eucalyptus is also a known toxin for cats..

VERY unhappy with Fresh Step for coming up with this.. VERY unhappy indeed.. will have to write them and express my concerns. Making a product people want at the expense of the cat is a bad bad idea..

I have recently discovered Fresh Step clumping and I (and the kitties of course) like it very much. I’ve used the non-clumping Fresh Step in the catio litter boxes for several years with high-fives from the kitties too. I’d love to win a box–with both resident and foster cats, there is never such a thing as “too much litter” on hand :-).

I’ve also shared your giveaway on both my personal FB page and our LAPCATS FB page.

Thanks for the opportunity to win a box!

We recently won and tried some Tidy Cats with Glade. The odor control is excellent, according to mom, but it is so super dusty. We can’t seem to find one that controls odor but is less dusty. This Fresh Step sounds like it would do the trick. Please enter us in the giveaway. Thanks for the review. Our e-mail: [email protected].

Just wanted to mention that when I’m introducing a new litter I use one box with the new next to their regular type. That way they have a choice and I can see which they prefer. Right now I’m using four media types: Tidy Cat Clumping, World’s Best, Cat’s Pride Fresh and LIght and just plain old newspaper laid down on the bottom by itself. I prefer WB for many reasons but I have to give them what they want 🙂

We use fresh step! Mommy chuckled and says the litter may be fresh but what we do certainly is NOT.

She’s a rude woman.

My girls like the unscented version of Fresh Step. When I accidentally bought a box of scented, I had huge amounts of displeasure on the floor outside the box. Gotta love how cats let you know their preferences.

We use Fresh Step now and this new formula sounds great. Boy would I love to win this giveaway! The clay free formula you use works great, I can’t afford it though. I read that Fresh Step was one of the best clay clumping cat litter. Please enter me.

Eucalyptus? Isn’t that toxic to both dogs and cats? I’ve also heard that cats dislike the scent, along with lemongrass. I know that mine do.

  It’s true that most cats dislike citrus scents but this isn’t citusy but lightly herbal.

    Have you done your homework ??
    ” Eucalyptus and lemongrass essential oil are toxic for cats to inhale. Known to cause Liver failure! Cats Liver can not process this crap. Going to change litters and spread the word. Saw above someone else already told you about it! I got suspicious when my cats started to avoid the litterbox!! Then I checked ingredients! Cats are smarter than you are. They better not get liver failure or I will know why! You WILL hear from me ! They have been using this since it came out. I should have listened to them! It does “STINK”, it is SO perfumey!

    Not only have I done my homework but I taught chemistry as part of a course on essential oils. I’m also a founding member of the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists. There are some cats that are sensitive to some oils but the liver toxicity debate has been disputed. The hysteria around the topis is an example throwing the baby out with the bath water. If there is an issue with e.o.s it’s quality of the oils. My eldest cat died at 21.5 and was exposed to e.o.s most of his life. As always, buyer beware and if your cats don’t like a scented litter, don’t use it. We use different brands and my cats usually prefer unscented as well.
