10 Best Dust Free Cat Litters

#1 ökocat Natural Wood Cat Litter

There is a reason that the ökocat litter is considered one of the best that you can buy. Even though it is expensive, it clumps very well and leaves little to no dust behind for you to deal with. It is also a powerful odor blocker, keeping odors at bay in even multiple-cat households for up to a week.

This extremely absorbent litter can take in up to five times its mass in cat byproducts, so you should have no problem leaving the litter for as long as a week without it making a huge mess. You may have a problem with your cat tracking some of it out of the litter box, and cats do like to play with the clumps, which they may eat or get stuck to their fur.

Pros:

• Fights odors for seven days
• Clumps very well and absorbs even better
• Made naturally, so it’s biodegradable

Cons:

• No dust, but still messy sometimes
• A rather expensive option

#2 Best Low-Tracking: tuft + paw Really Great Cat Litter

• Brand: tuft + paw
• Material: Soybean byproduct
• Clumping: Yes
• Flushable: Yes
• Features: Biodegradable, low-tracking granules, lightweight
• Price per lb: $3.05 per lb

Many low-tracking litters are dense and heavy but Really Great Cat Litter from tuft + paw isn’t. It’s made from soybean byproduct and shaped in small, oblong pellets. The shape and size of the pellets helps keep the litter from tracking outside the litter box.

While you’ll pay a premium for this litter, it offers a few benefits few other products can boast. It’s biodegradable and compostable, for one. It’s also flushable. Though you’ll need to let the clumps soak in the toilet for a while before flushing, the material breaks down very well.

In the litter box, this natural cat litter absorbs liquid quickly and forms cohesive clumps. I found that the clumps are a little more delicate than clay litter, but if you scoop slowly they’re less likely to break apart. My cats didn’t seem to mind the texture of the pellets and the formula controls odor well, despite the lack of added fragrance.

What We Liked:

• Biodegradable, compostable, and flushable
• Lightweight, low-tracking pellets
• Forms easy-to-scoop clumps

What We Didn’t Like:

• Only available by subscription
• Costs significantly more than market average

#3 sWheat Scoop Multi-Cat All-Natural Clumping Cat Litter

This litter will clump very quickly, so if you want to get rid of the litter as it is used, then you can, without dumping out all the rest of the litter box.

The 100% biodegradable litter is safe for the environment and for your cats. It’s also potent enough for homes with multiple cats. If you have a sensitive cat that doesn’t like strong scents, then this is an ideal litter for them since it contains no fragrances or dyes.

That can mean that it doesn’t kill odors as effectively as some other brands of cat litter, but it does a decent job.

Pros:

• Quick clumping for easy cleaning
• Environmentally safe
• No strong scents

Cons:

• Kind of pricey
• Not the most effective odor killer

#6 Feline Pine Original Cat Litter

This powerful cat litter kills odors as soon as it comes into contact with them. It also clumps immediately and keeps odors from spreading and the litter from being overly saturated. That makes for some easy litter box cleaning and a mostly dust free litter box area.

Some cats don’t like the smell of the pellets in Feline Pine’s cat litter, but most of them should not mind. It’s also kind expensive when compared to some other other litter products on this list, so you may want to do a price comparison before you decide on a litter to use.

This is one of the gentlest cat litters for cats because it contains no odors to offend their sensitive noses. There are no fragrances or dyes, and yet this litter manages to eliminate odors very well.

The price is decent for the amount of litter you get, and there should be almost no dust at all when your cats use the litter box. On the downside, it may not always clump, and that inconsistent performance can make it frustrating for some cat owners.

• Works well with multiple cats
• Powerful odor control

Cons:

• Does not always clump like it should

#8 Naturally Fresh Cat Litter

Using dust free cat litter is a good way to reduce some health risks associated with litter dust. That’s why Blue Buffalo’s cat litter product is a good option.

It creates very little dust since it clumps quickly and effectively. That ensures that your cats cannot track dust all over the house, but the clumps can stick to the cats’ fur, and that can spread the litter where you don’t want it.

This particular litter is incredibly absorbent, and you can use the same tray full of litter for up to a week even with multiple cats in the house. After that, you will need to change it out.

Pros:

• All natural and safe for your cats
• Clumps very well
• No dust to speak of the majority of the time

Cons:

• Pellets can become sticky and muddy and attach to fur

#9 Jonny Cat Complete Multi-Cat Clay Litter Bag

If you are trying to save money on cat litter, then Jonny Cat is the way to go. It is the cheapest option on this list by far, but it is also not very consistent.

That means that sometimes it will clump okay and sometimes it won’t, and if you have problems with your cat tracking dust through the house, then that may be an issue with this cat litter as well.

When it works, it does a wonderful job of keeping dust out of your house and odors from spreading, but if you want a better quality product, you are going to have to pay more for it.

Pros:

• Very inexpensive
• Made to reduce stress
• Excellent clumping

Cons:

• Inconsistent quality
• Does not always clump like it should

#10 Fresh Step Scented Clay, Non-Clumping Cat Litter

You should know that this is a scented cat litter, and that means that your cat may not like it much, if its nose is very sensitive. Most cats will be just fine with it, though, and the scent does a good job of getting rid of or hiding cat odors.

If your cat’s litter has smelled really bad in the past, then you may want something this potent, but you need to be aware of the possible fragrant smell. It’s not for everyone.

The value here is pretty decent, as you get a lot of litter for the price. Plus, Fresh Step has created a litter that activates only when it is in use, so you won’t have to deal with the fragrance all the time, and your cat might not be bothered by it. This is a great product for controlling odors, and it clumps well too, which makes it easy to clean up after your cat.

Pros:

• Great value
• Superb at getting rid of odors
• Fragrance activates only when litter is being used

Cons:

• May be too fragrant for you or your cats
