Pretty Litter Review

If you want your cat to live a long and healthy life, feeding him a healthy diet is a great place to start. Even if you do everything right, however, you shouldn’t be surprised if your cat gets sick from time to time. Unfortunately, cats have a natural instinct to hide their pain.

This means that if your cat is sick, you might not know it until he’s unable to hide it any longer. At that point, it may be too late or too expensive to resolve a health problem that might have been treatable if you’d caught it early. Enter Pretty Litter.

A uniquely formulated crystal cat litter, Pretty Litter helps alert you to potential health problems based on chemicals in your cat’s urine. The litter actually changes color if the acidity of your cat’s urine changes, letting you know it might be time to pay a visit to your veterinarian.

Brand Overview

The Pretty Litter brand is fairly new, though it has already achieved a massive following. In addition to being featured in a number of online magazines, Pretty Litter has made appearances on news sites and social media hubs. Before getting into the details of the product below, we want to highlight a few of the things that make Pretty Litter different.

Typical cat litter is easy to come by. You swing by the pet store or order it online along with your cat food, toys, and treats. The only way Pretty Litter is currently available for purchase is through the company’s website and it is sold via subscription.

You simply select the number of cats you have in your house and provide your billing and shipping information. From there, you’ll automatically be enrolled in a monthly subscription that renews each month. Simply take the litter that comes to your door and fill your litter box with a new bag each month.

What Kinds of Litter Does the Brand Offer?

Currently, Pretty Litter only offers one type of litter. It is a silica crystal litter that comes in very fine, lightweight granules. This cat litter was developed by a team of veterinarians and scientists specifically for cats, so you can count on it being safe for your cat. It is made of highly absorbent silica gel combined with a proprietary formulation of indicators to help cat owners monitor their cat’s urine for acidity and alkalinity levels outside of the normal range.

Here is what the different colors indicate:

• Red (Detection of Blood) – May indicate a Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disorder (FLUTD), kidney stones, bladder stones, bladder inflammation, kidney disease, or clotting disorders. In rare cases, it may also indicate bladder cancer or internal injury.
• Orange (Acidity Outside Normal Range) – May be a sign of metabolic acidosis, kidney tubular acidosis, or calcium oxalate crystal formation.
• Blue or Dark Green (Alkalinity Outside Normal Range) – May indicate certain types of urinary tract infections and an increased risk for crystal/stone formation.

It is important to note that Pretty Litter is a tool that provides insight into your cat’s health but should not be used as a replacement for medical diagnostics or veterinary care. If the product indicates a potential health problem, take your cat to the vet.

The overall rating for the Pretty Litter brand is not perfect (4/5), but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a high-quality product. Pretty Litter is a unique product, so the same rating system used for typical cat litters doesn’t exactly apply.

We were forced to deduct points for lack of product variety and non-clumping, but we still consider Pretty Litter to be an excellent option within the alternative cat litter category.Pros of Pretty Litter:

• Monthly subscription delivered automatically to your door
• Unique color-changing quality detects potential health problems
• Highly absorbent and offers excellent odor control

Cons of Pretty Litter:

• May not absorb liquid as efficiently if cat repeatedly uses the same spot
• This cat litter is not designed to clump but does dehydrate solid waste
• Very expensive compared to most cat litters, costs over $6/pound
• Some users found that it didn’t last quite the full month

This litter comes in a 4-pound bag designed to last one month for a single medium-sized cat. You can purchase multiple bags as needed, according to the number of cats you have in your household.

What Do Customers Think of Pretty Litter Cat Litter?

For the most part, Pretty Litter receives very positive ratings. The litter fulfills its promise of changing colors when a potential health problem is detected, but it is still on the cat owner to take the cat to the vet. There are many comments about the price being high, but that is fairly standard for crystal cat litter, particularly one with such unique benefits. The most consistent negative comment is that the 4-pound bag doesn’t last quite a month for larger cats or multi-cat households.

This being said, every customer’s experience is unique, and there are both good and bad reviews for the brand online. Keep reading to see two positive and negative customer reviews for the cat litter formula featured above:

Positive Customer Reviews for Pretty Litter Cat Litter

“I’ve had cats for 17 years and this is the best litter I’ve ever found I read all the reviews before trying it but that was after I had bought it and was worried that I wouldn’t like it so I took a couple of months for me to use it but when I did my husband and I just fell in love with it no odor very lightweight it’s costly but I guess you might say it’s worth it but it’s really a nice product if you don’t want to believe it try it and make your own decision now we’re trying to cat food so far so good.”

– Sean B, reviewing Pretty Litter

“I was skeptical to start. Cats aren’t the only ones who have difficulty changing. But the promise of “not having to lug heavy boxes of litter around,” really spoke to me (and IT’S TRUE!). It comes to your door! And it really works. What kind of magic is this? My male cat is old and peeing a lot, and it was really getting annoying. Until now! I cannot smell anything! And it looks beautiful. Thank you, Pretty Litter. This stuff is so amazing. I can’t wait for my next shipment.”

– MicheBel, reviewing Pretty Litter

Negative Customer Reviews for Pretty Litter Cat Litter

“We have 2 indoor cats – so we get two bags a month. After 3 weeks – the litter needs to be replaced. Think if you have cats that are outside and inside this would work…. but when it’s the only place they pee, it gets saturated in less than 4 weeks. However, it’s awesome litter. Love how light it is, how easy to scoop/stir, and that it can give you some information about your cat’s health based upon the color. Just wish the bags had about 25% more in each.”

– Liz K, reviewing Pretty Litter

“The amount of litter will only fill one inch in my medium size cat box. My cats are both over 15 pounds and have some difficulty with the medium box but can fit in it. The litter turned blue and my male cat turned out to have a UTI. After 10 days the new litter stayed white however it turned blue after he had been using it for a couple of days. The box is blue, and I wonder if it is just picking up the color of the box. I like the way the litter absorbs the urine and the feces is easily removed. The biggest minus though is the cost. $39.00 a month for cat litter is a bit pricey.”

How Much Does Pretty Litter Cat Litter Cost?

If you purchase three bags of Pretty Litter, your fourth bag is free. Pretty Litter frequently offers discounts and promotions, plus you can contact the company via email to ask about bulk discounts.

Overall, is Pretty Litter Cat Litter a Good Choice?

When we first received Pretty Litter, we were a little skeptical. Not only was a 4-pound bag supposed to last a month, but our test cats have notoriously disliked crystal litter. Fortunately, we found the texture of the litter to be similar enough to clay litter that our cats took to it easily and we were thrilled with the liquid-absorbing and odor-controlling power of the litter itself.

It’s important to remember that Pretty Litter is a silica crystal cat litter, so it acts differently than clay litter. Not only is it designed NOT to clump, but you need to stir it from time to time to prevent one area from becoming oversaturated. You may find that the crystals dehydrate solid waste, making it easier to scoop, but it may not form hard clumps.

Crystal cat litter like Pretty Litter is not the perfect solution for every cat. Some cats who have very sensitive paws may not like the texture of the silica crystals, though we found them to be very fine. Technically, Pretty Litter is safe for all cats and kittens because there is no risk of expansion if your cat accidentally ingests the particles.
