The cost of the product also plays an important role. Since the litter needs to be changed quite often, most pet owners try to find an inexpensive and high-quality litter for them.
Application rules
To understand the full benefits of zeolite filler, you need to use it correctly. Pour the filler into the tray in a thick layer. In this case, the product will be consumed slowly. However, do not use too much filler. This will cause the cat to scatter the pellets when buried. This will only add work to the person.
You don't have to change the contents of the tray every day. On a day-to-day basis, you only need to remove the top layer of the soaked granules and add fresh filler.In this case, there will be no unpleasant odor in the room.
Dispose of the used product in the trash bin in high-quality plastic bags. If the basket has a large supply of used pellets, it will smell unpleasant. It is not recommended to throw zeolite filler into the toilet.
You need to completely change the contents of the tray once a week. It is best to use a perforated scoop to remove wet granules. Clean granules will be sieved through small holes. This will significantly save dry product.
The tray needs to be washed after cleaning... However, it is not recommended to use a regular detergent. This can cause the cat to stop using the litter box. The choice for cleaning the tray is a product with the most neutral odor. If possible, the cat litter should be covered with a special diaper or bag. In this case, you do not have to wash it on a regular basis. But this must be done very carefully.
It is worth remembering that cats are very conservative. Therefore, having decided on the choice of a suitable product, it is best to constantly buy the same filler. In this case, the cat will enjoy using the litter box.
