Cat Litter BrandsYou should scoop your cat's litter box 2x per day to ensure that it remains odor free and to reinforce to your cat that it is a clean private place for feces and urine. Cat litter brands differ based on the materials they are made from Preferred materials for cat litter are clay, corn, wheat and pine. In general the finer the material (like sand), the more it is going to be preferred by your cat. We do not recommend scented brands since cats are very sensitive to odor. If changing the brand of cat litter do so gradually. Mix the two brands together and then gradually increase the percentage of the new brand until you make the full transition.

You can use it all the time if you like, but it is particularly recommended for cats who have had surgery, such as when they have been declawed.
