What is Sanel?

Better Way cat litter contains an all-natural patented cat attractant named Sanel. This aromatic substance is something that only cats can smell. Sanel? reminds cats of the great outdoors and helps to develop better litter box habits. In laboratory tests, cats picked litter with Sanel? three times more often than an identical litter with no attractant.

What is the difference between traditional and scooping cat litters?

Clay is the main ingredient in all Better Way litters, however, certain types of clay react differently when they come in contact with moisture.

Traditional clay litter will absorb urine, but will NOT form a clump. To maintain a fresh litter box, solid waste must be removed daily and the box completely changed each week.

Scoopable litter will clump the urine into an easy-to-remove ball shape. These clumps, as well as solid waste, should be removed daily and completely changed once a month.

How can I best control litter box odor using Better Way?

Better Way will most effectively absorb liquid and odor when the depth in the litter box is maintained at a 2-3 inch level. By removing solid waste and urine clumps (if you are using a scoopable formula) daily, you will help to ensure a clean and fresh litter box for your home.

I'm having trouble removing the clumps from my scoopable litter. What could be wrong?

This problem usually occurs when there is not enough litter in the box. A depth of 2-3 inches is recommended in order for there to be enough litter to form clumps. After you have removed urine clumps, make sure that you are refilling the box to the 2-3 inches of litter so that the original level is always maintained. Also, Better Way? Scoopable litters will not clump properly if they are mixed with a non-clumping traditional form of litter.

If I am pregnant, is it unsafe for me to clean out the litter box?

Pregnant women and immunosuppressed persons should know that cat feces can transmit a parasite that causes a disease called toxoplasmosis. You should avoid cleaning out the litter box if possible (or use rubber gloves and wash your hands thoroughly). Unused cat litter poses no threat.
Are all Better Way? formulas flushable?

Better Way Flushable is the only formula that can be flushed through residential plumbing systems. However, it should not be flushed through septic systems. Due to the possibility of clogging pipes, we do not recommend that you flush any other Better Way? formulas.
