Pellets too large
Had hoped to stop tracking, but the pellets are proving too large, my cat will not use it for solids. She has used it for a wee, but dry pellets cling to the clump, making it cumbersome to deal with. Have gone back to Cats Best Sensitive, tracking a nuisance, but otherwise works well.

Not for us
We tried this for the anti-sticking feature but overall I think it hasn’t been a success and we’ll be switching back.
Our kittens (short haired) struggle to bury their poo because of the large size of the pellets, this seems to upset them, possibly because inefficient burial means there’s a bit more of a smell. There may be a small improvement in the amount of scattering of cat litter stuck to kitten paws, but it’s really only marginal and I’m still having to clean up regularly. Shame really.

Best litter available!
Having three house cats has always been messy, I have used Cat’s Best for years and been happy with it apart from the tracking...it gets everywhere! By the time I’ve hoovered the stairs and turned back round there is more there! Decided to try the smart pellets despite the price difference and I am not disappointed. Tracking is virtually non-exsistent especially as my cats have litter trays that they jump out of so it falls off them. I’m so pleased I changed and won’t be going back!

Fantastic Product (so far!)
I have only switched to this litter recently but, so far, I love it! I very nearly didn't buy it because of all the negative reviews, but I'm so glad I decided to try it for myself - it's amazing! Virtually no tracking, clumps brilliantly, no odour, and no dust! It's much more expensive than other brands of litter, but it's worth every penny in my mind. I was using the Oko Plus version before, which is great but is dusty & tracks really badly - this is SO much better!

Best for my cat
I have 3 cats. My ancient tabby lives in my bedroom. He seems to be a litter magnet and you can appreciate that I don't want to be walking on cat litter in bare feet. This is the first cat litter I have tried that didn't get all over the room including all over my bed. It doesn't clump as well as the ordinary Cat's Best which I use for my other 2 cats but as he is in my bedroom I remove the clumps twice a day and I haven't had any trouble with dust.

Excellent
After all this negative comments I wasn’t sure but I have decided to try it and it didn’t disappoint me! My ragdoll doesn’t drag the litter through whole bathroom anymore (I had to hover 3times a day). Clumping is ok this is a bit different structure of litter so just need 10/15mins to soak up and is doing the job, you can remove everything in one go without leaving anything inside. The best choice ever!

I can’t understand why Cat’s Best has made the change
I bought this as I could not find my usual Cat’s Best for long hair cats which I have used for years... unfortunately the quality is not up to the expectations, as this litter tracks everywhere in the house and it seem to have less odour control than the previous formula. I ‘m disappointed . I can’t understand why Cat’s Best has made the change!

Now Cat,s worst Nightmare more like
No longer does the job
Used this for years and always been happy with it.Not since it changed to Smart Pellets. It doesn't clump properly, is VERY dusty and is nowhere near as good as it used to be at anything that made it a selling point before the changes. Very disappointing, Lost this customer.

Poor
Not sure why Zooplus are still selling this product. It is clearly inferior quality and the buying team should address otherwise overall custom will be lost

No longer does the job
Used this for ages and always been happy with it.Not since it changed to Smart Pellets. It doesn't clump properly, is very dusty and is nowhere near as good as it used to be at eliminating odours. Very disappointed.

no good anymore
I had bought this last year to try, and it was great - clumped well, covered odours... when I bought a replacement, it was a totally different story.
It does not clump at all - each pellet just swells up a bit and breaks in half. Odour control is OK but why spend this much on something that doesn't do what it's supposed to??

I wish I could rate "-5"⭐
I've never thought I would rate Nature gold one star.
I've been using it for 5 years and it was brilliant for my Siamese twins until last two bags.
It does not clump, the pellets size is huge, and it does stink after kitties done #1.
I've noticed that twins not really keen to use the litter boxes with Nature gold since the litter formula has been changed.
It's not economical either.
I'm incredibly disappointed.

Turns To Dust & Causes Respiratory Issues
The formula for this cat litter has changed, it is much more dustier than it use to be which is noticeable as you empty the bag into the tray. The litter clumps, although not aswell as it use to but also breaks down into dust over time. This dust is irratating my cat nasal passage as she digs into it & i find her sneezing & coughing now. I have to keep sifting thru it to scoop out the dust build up over time. I would avoid this litter if your cat starts sneezing or has asthma.

Please change back to previous formula
Disappointed in last batch I bought, formula has changed and is no longer the great product it was. Can’t face the search for a new litter, please give us the old product we know and love.

Very good product
My Ragdoll cat leaves very little of this litter on the carpet. I have floor cushioning where my cat litter box is located but I do have a piece of carpet in front of the litter box so I don't get litter on the hard floor. It clumps together so is easy to remove, there is no smell from the litter box. I recommend this product, it is economical to use.

Now a waste of money
What on earth has happened to this cat litter, it was the only one I was able to use that didn't track . Now it doesn't clump properly and I have the hoover out twice a day, as it is tracking everywhere and turning to sawdust full stop utter waste of money has anybody got a suggestion for an alternative for long haired cats that doesn't track?

Why has it changed??
Like other reviewers, I have ben using this product for some time (6 years). It was by far the best litter for long haired cats. The new 'rebranded litter" is so inferior. It doesn't clump properly anymore and turns to powder quickly which ends up tracking everywhere! I am desperately seeking a replacement!

Why oh why.....
This product used to be the best in my opinion but I'm afraid like so many things nowadays it has been changed but not for the better. If you feel the need to offer a pellet litter could you not offer both and let us choose? Sorry but after years of use I won't be using it

Why have you changed the product !
I have been using this litter for many years with no problems. However recently noticed there has been a change of packaging and also a change in the size of the pellets. I buy this product as I have 4 Longhaired Persians and they didn’t get stuck in the paws resulting in Little tracking. I have now noticed a steady stream of pellets making there way up the stair carpet. This litter is way more expensive than the normal Cats best and I am afraid I will have to look at an alternative.

Not as good as it used to be...... Why?
I have used this litter for a very long time. After having tried many, many different litters, this one was without doubt the best of them all. Pricier than some, much better than the tiny granules of other clumping litters. I have recommended it to so many people. It is with great disappointment that it seems something has changed . Although still good at odour control and tracking , it does not clump anywhere near as well as it used to. Where I used to easily be able to take the clumps out, now it crumbles and you spend ages trying to remove the left over bits. Please whatever you have changed, change it back to how it used to be.... I am almost getting to the point of looking at other litters 😞
