CopRice Max’s Cat Litter

DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!! I have used this product for my several cats for several years. It's always been good, until they changed their formula. Now it turns to dust very quickly, it doesn't absorb the urine as the previous product did. It's a waste of time & money. And it literally STINKS when wet from urine. Even a small section. Before… Read more

they changed the packaging I always decanted the product into containers for ease of access. One bag of Coprice Max's cat litter would fill the contain up to three quarters full, but now with the new product (and the same weight on the packaging), I can put two full packets of the cat litter in the same container and still have room for another half bag, which means the product inside the bag has shrunk(?). The pellets are very poor quality and don't absorb moisture very well. Its like using chook pellets as litter. When the contents of these bags are finished I will not be buying this product again. Therefore we'll be looking for a better product

Sticking with this one, it works a treat! – It has been some years since I've had the need to use cat litter. Last year we were a house of 4 cats so it was more feasible to use sugarcane mulch and river sand in trays and once soiled to just toss the lot on the garden. Now I'm down to 2 cats (the 2 males passed away last year). I decided to go back to my wood shaving flush-able litter I… Read more

had used many years ago but they have changed the formula and my 2 girls were tracking the stuff all over the house, even though it had great odour control and pleasant smell. The pet store convinced me to go with the "sifting" kind. It was pellets that turned to dust sort. Not only was fresh stuff unpleasant to smell it had no odour control whatsoever! So then they recommended this. Sure it has a "cereal" kind of smell to it when fresh but it's not unpleasant at all. I'm yet to change the litter boxes after like 2 weeks (I know you should change them after 1 week but I did fill the trays quite full). No urine odour as yet. My girls seem to really like it and there is minimal tracking. I scoop and flush any solids each day and I can see that the urine has broken down some of the box contents already so I believe this will do great on the garden. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending this at all.

My two boys and I love it – What is wrong with the people who say this litter doesn't work? I have two desexed male (indoor only) cats and two litter trays kept in the shower recess in a 2nd bathroom. Yes, it does have a natural rice grain-type smell. As I am used to the smell from the trays, I ask visitors if they notice any offensive odours in that bathroom and they all… Read more

say no. It is easy to scoop the poop and flush down the toilet. I shake the tray to separate the loose litter away from the urine clumps. I scoop the clump(s) into a waste bin that I empty into my compost bin. When the cats scratch the litter around, it is retained in the shower recess. I use a long-handled dustpan/brush to tip it back into the trays. It is not carried around the house by my boys. It is very economical. I buy the 12.5kg bags delivered to my home and they last for at least 4 months. I often still have half a bag left when the next delivery arrives. I am a real 'cat lady' and have used many types of cat litter over the years. I like this one the best for its low environmental impact, ease of use and ability to neutralise the strong ammonia smell better than anything I have used before.

no smell – After many years trying different cat litter and ending up with a recycled paper one. I ran out and went to my local supermarket and noticed that this one was nearly out of stock. I decided to try it while waiting for my on line delivery of the recycled litter. I am sold on this litter there is no odour at all except for the grainy smell. the… Read more

cats seem to like it as well. Mind you they like the taste of it as do my dogs but other than that it is a winner.

I just bought this last week after seeing the good reviews here – Low smell and I think it is better than the Breeder's Choice recycled paper litter due to close to NO smell and ease of picking out the nicely coated dry poops. Can dispose of in the garden. Am now wondering if I can flush the poop down the toilet since it's only coated in rice husks...cost me around $6 and I think I might get 3 - 4 weeks out of it as our cat only does one poop a day. Show details

Best cat litter! – I can honestly say, after trying paper litter, clay litter, crystal litter and tree wood litter, this is THE BEST ! The smell of the litter is like a wood smell, not bad at all and it masks the smell of urine somehow! I don’t think you can ever mask the poo smell though, which I expect never to be able to! I use this litter in two cat litters… Read more

trays. Which is shared by my two desexed males + desexed female. My cats love the litter. It is very easy to maintain as I shake the tray and the clean litter separates from the soiled litter which I just scoop out and dispose of! It does track easily though but because it masks the smell and is easy to dispose of I count myself as lucky to find such a product and I sweep often, that part doesn’t bother me! I’m very happy every time I purchase a small bag from coles for $6 something as it’s a peace of mind product ! Especially fact it’s natural smelling etc :) thank you!

We opened our first bag of this and the smell was hideous! we filled two litter trays with it and our cats were very hesitant to go near it, in fact they didn’t the next day the litter hadn’t been touched and they both were busting to go in the garden. We just tossed it out and back to our trusted litter. Show details

The original litter was fantastic at odour control and absorption. Since it changed to pellet form it no longer masks odour, forms a wet sludge in the tray and is no longer fit for purpose. Worst change in a product I have come across and I do not recommend it at all.

The litter smells like a bowl of muesli in the cat litter tray. The smell was so unsettling I had to throw half a bag of the litter away. I would never buy it again. Show details

Before the new compressed kernels which we are now available I would give a 100% star rating, it was the best, why change something if it works well. The new kernels are a waste of money. I will need to find something else noe. The new kernels are not worth the money. I buy 6 bags every 6 weeks. Show details

This had been my go-to cat litter for years. It had good odour control, clumped well, and seemed to last a reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately with the most recent packaging rebrand they've also drastically changed the formula?! It even looks completely different, and doesn't clump well anymore. To top things off it's no longer stocked at… Read more

Petbarn or Petstock, by far the most accessible pet stores in my area. Very strange. I'm left with no choice but to go with a different brand. Hard to understand how changing the formula and the branding (and distribution??) all at once could be considered an economically sound decision.

Max's litter used to be fantastic. We have been using it for more than 20 years but the new version is very disappointing. We find new large hard pellet version does not absorb urine and does not contain odours so that now we can smell everything all over the house. Not impressed at all. Show details

UPDATE- after using this rebranded Max's litter my option of the litter itself has changed. The new pellet design does not clump, each pellet simply expands and falls apart leading it to move around the tray and mingle with the clean litter. WILL BE FINDING A NEW LITTER TO USE. ORIGINAL- The litter itself is great. But the new 12.5kg bag design… Read more

is a joke. The lack of reinforced handles means that the 12.5kg of litter forces the plastic cut out into your skin, cutting off blood supply and bruising my fingers. A truly careless design choice.

The bottom flap of plastic is gone, taking a second hand hold and leverage away and I'm now dreading trying to fill a litter tray. RIP Max's

I will give you facts and I will be objective. Your new packaging of the 12.5 Kg pack is useless and if you took it into consideration as an overall product together with the cat Litter one would have to come to the conclusion that it is not "fit for purpose". First of all you have done away with the hard plastic handle because apparently it is… Read more

government regulation. I haven't heard of a ban on hard plastic. Be it as it may you then offer a cut out handle with no reinforcement so it has the ability to almost slice your hand or at the least cut off blood supply to your hand. Wait but that's not all, you offer further thoughtless design. Once the user cuts along the perforated edge to form a funnel then the issue becomes how does one handle lifting the 12.5 Kg pack, BECAUSE WHEN YOU LIFT IT WITH ONE HAND YOU HAVE NOT LEFT A BIG ENOUGH FLAP AT THE BOTTOM SO WE CAN HOLD ONTO THE SACK WHILST WE ARE POURING IT OUT. What we have to do is balance the pack by putting the arm that is not lifting it completely around the middle of it in a hugging position. The previous packaging had a wide flap on the bottom which enabled the user to hold onto the bag whilst pouring out the contents. With all due respect it is nothing short of a joke. I'm a fairly strong individual, I feel very sorry for the people that are not and probably have to advertise on air tasker to hire somebody to assist them in filling up their cat tray. Well as you can guess, after speaking to Thea, your rep who was very understanding, I will be telling Max that we have to part ways. Thanks for reading this and if you are ever down Brunswick way you might care to help me empty the product into a tray,

Unbelievable stench – I've been trying different natural litters to find one that performs well. As soon as I cut open the bag I realised that the rancid odour assailing my nostrils was going to be more offensive than anything coming out of our cats. Though their litter box is in the laundry, the unpleasant rancid smell has overrun the house! Based on that alone, I… Read more

won't be buying this brand again.

To add insult to injury, after little miss used the box she tracked wet paw prints all over the laundry and the hallway. She didn't enjoy the sensation of wet paws as much as I didn't enjoy having to re-mop.

So it's non-absorbent and smells. And cat #2 managed to track poo out, which she's never done before. Everything to recommend it...not!

Max’s Cat Litter changed for the worse – I have used Max’s Cat Litter for years and would have given the original product 5 stars plus. Clumped beautifully, great odour control, cats loved it. Now the ingredients and appearance have changed and the excellent clumping factor — the product’s great advantage — is markedly reduced. Dirty litter now gets distributed throughout the tray. Much… Read more

harder to clean effectively and more product wasted each time as a result. Hoping they correct by a return to their original formula — we miss it!!

Best litter until Weevils! – I found this great cat litter until now. The litter is full of weevils. I'd like to know how best to deal with this? maybe surface spray on the clean litter box??? Our cat is outdoors during the day so rarely uses litter. The laundry is now full of little moths. Show details

It's Good, But Dusty As – In terms of tracking, clumpuge, odour control and ease of clean this is the best. However the only draw back is it so so incredibly dusty. So much so I have to shake it several times, use the blower vac a few times and a few more shakes before my car will use it. If you removed the dust this would be the best litter on the market hands down. Show details

Value for money...!!! – This litter locks in the smell of cat pee & all you smell is a pleasant grainy smell. 1 bag lasts 2 indoor cats in 2 litter trays for a week. Show details

Terrible litter – The litter dOesn’t clump as stated, in fact turns to dust making it impossible to scoop. Unpleasant odour also. I will not be wasting my money on this litter again. Show details

Desperate for Woolworths to restock – This litter is the best. We use it for night time and rainy weather. My cat always gets it everywhere but it’s soft under foot when you stagger out half asleep. Garden and lawn loves it. I put the tray out in the sun during the day and the rice and UV eliminates any doors and I can use it for over a week. Show details

Unfortunately the worst litter so far – It has a bit strange smell, like cereal or smth, I didn't mind it but my cat refused to use this litter. Unfortunately he decided that sofa or anywhere else in the bathroom is much better to pee on instead of his tray... Going back to the crystal litter after 2 days trying to convince my cat to use this product.

Disappointing – For many years I have purchased Max's Cat Litter and always felt it was a very good product. Lately, however, I notice that it is quite powdery. I preferred it when it was mostly pellets. I thought at first the product was more powdery because it had been shaken about before or at the point of sale, but continued use has demonstrated that that's just how it is these days: about 30% powder and 70% pellets.

Works well! – My cat uses this litter well, there's only a slight grainy smell which isn't too bad. I put the used litter in my garden which has improved the soil and makes good flowers. I highly recommend giving this litter a try.

The odour was overpowering – I purchased this wanting to be a bit more kind to the environment, and instead the cat decided that it was nicer to use the couch as a toilet than the litter tray due to the overwhelming odour that permeated from the litter tray. A horrible product that was thrown away. Back to the drawing board.

Worst smelling litter I have tried! – This litter smells worse than what the cats leave behind in it, and that's saying something! I thought I would try it as the litter I use is very expensive and I thought it might perform similarly while being less costly. Big mistake, it took weeks to get the horrible smell of the litter out of my bathroom, the cats were reluctant to use it too… Read more

and preferred the second tray with the other litter still in it. Had to throw it away in the end and go back to my previous litter.

Best cat litter! – I've tried a whole bunch, this stuff is seriously good. Purina Tidy cats is good too - probably on par but is expensive and the sweet scent is too strong for my cat. This cat litter smells good (naturally, rather than an artificial scent), soft on paws, cheap and very easy to clean - clumps very well! Super odour minimising, can't smell anything other than a nice rice smell. Highly recommended
