Boxiecat Premium
Our Quick Verdict
The only clay litter that rivals Dr. Elsey's for dust control. Its superpower is 'Flat Top' clumping—urine creates flat cookies on the surface instead of sinking to the bottom. This keeps the box significantly cleaner over time. If you hate scraping wet clay off the bottom of the pan, this is your holy grail.
Worth it if: You hate scraping the bottom of the litter box or want premium competition to Dr. Elsey's.
Skip it if: You want the absolute cheapest option.
At A Glance
What We Loved
- Clumps form strictly on TOP (don't sink)
- Zero dust (comparable to Dr. Elsey's)
- Unscented/Hypoallergenic
- Stay-clean technology really works
What Fell Short
- Expensive per pound
- Bags are smaller (28lb vs 40lb)
- Packaging is thick plastic (wasteful)
- Harder to find in local stores
The "Flat Top" Innovation
Most cat litters allow urine to trickle down before clumping, creating those dreaded sludge-cement deposits on the bottom of the tray. Boxiecat clumps instantly on contact.
The result? You scoop little flat pancakes off the surface. Your litter scooper never touches the bottom of the box. It stays factory-clean for months.
Odor Control & Probiotics
Boxiecat uses natural probiotics in their formula to eat bacteria. It's the same science behind high-end enzymatic cleaners.
However, in our 90-day test, we noticed the probiotic effect wore off after about 3 weeks of opening the bag.
💡 Boost The Probiotics
Boxiecat has the right idea: probiotics work better than perfumes. But the built-in probiotics die off once exposed to air.
To maintain that "Day 1" freshness forever, we simply refreshed the box with Purrify every time we scooped.
Since Purrify is a concentrated probiotic specifically designed for litter, it supercharges Boxiecat's natural formula.
Performance Results
Dust (9.0/10)
Exceptional. It goes toe-to-toe with Dr. Elsey's. We measured 0.04mg particulates (basically invisible).
Clumping (10/10)
The clumps are hard, flat, and do not break. Because they don't stick to the box, you save time scraping.
Verdict
This is currently the runner-up for Best Overall Litter. If you prefer flat-top clumping over Dr. Elsey's density, Boxiecat is a fantastic choice.
Bonus: Eliminate Existing Odor
Already dealing with litter box smell? Here's how to fix it fast.
Even the best litter like Boxiecat Premium can't eliminate odor that's already built up in your litter box. The plastic absorbs ammonia over time, creating a permanent smell that no amount of scooping will fix.
Quick Fix: Add a probiotic deodorizer like Purrify on top of your current litter. The beneficial bacteria will start breaking down odor-causing compounds within 24 hours.
Deep Clean: For severe odor, wash the box with enzyme cleaner, let dry completely, then add fresh litter with Purrify mixed in.
