Oz-Pet Sieve Litter Tray

Amazing - wish we'd found this years ago! – This is a review for both the Oz-Pet sieve litter trays and the Oz-Pet wood cat litter. We are cat people, we love them. Some people are dog people but not us - we have four cats ranging from 19 years to seven months. Being responsible cats owners, we don't let our cats roam, they have the house and access to the cat run which occupies the… Read more

entire "narrow" side of the block between the house and boundary wall.

The run has a variety of surfaces including an area of sand which they can use as a toilet and which I clean weekly but we still need litter trays in the house.

Over the years we've used a variety of types of litter to find one which is good for reducing odour, does not tread far and is also economical. We recently saw a youtube video ("You're doing your cat litter wrong" - https://youtu.be/LhgynG941D8) which changed our lives - it really is worth watching.

Oz-Pet wood cat litter is made from waste wood, the wood is made into pellets which turn back into sawdust when they get wet. The Oz-Pet sieve litter tray is a set of three trays, the top one being a sieve, which sit in one another. Fill the top one with a layer of pellets, put a handful in the middle tray and that's it.

Whenever you clean the litter tray, first use the scoop to remove the poop, then simply pick up the trays and give them a good shake from side to side. The pellets which have got wet will have broken down into sawdust which drops through the sieve into the middle tray, any excess urine which has reached the tray will also be absorbed by the pellets already there

After a few days, or when the middle tray is starting to get full of sawdust (depending on the number of cats), simply scoop out any undissolved pellets from the middle tray into the empty lower one, add a handful of fresh to the tray, sieve and start again.

We have been amazed just how little of the pellets we have (not!) consumed in over a week even with four cats. We would typically fill a small seven litre dustbin with waste litter in six days at the most, I would estimate we've barely created three litres of sawdust in ten days so far.

The resulting sawdust is also amazingly good at stopping any urine odour and can be spread on the garden, where it breaks down quickly, or added to the compost bin (our option), or simply disposed of in the household bin.

The sieve and trays are made in a variety of colours and are large and robust - they should last many years. There is a tray starter pack which includes 3kg of pellets, the pellets are available in multiple bag sizes and both hardwood and pine scent.

Once the initial investment had been made (after all you're buying multiple trays, not just one) I anticipate that the Oz-Pet litter and trays will more than pay for themselves in money and in reducing smell and waste. We actually ordered a second sieve tray which fits inside one of our existing trays for more capacity.

If you are sick of having clay or crystal or paper litter tracking through the house, of buying sack after sack of litter and still having that lovely (!) ammonia smell greet you every day, give the Oz-Pet litter pellets a go. You can probably just try with your existing tray if you're willing to scoop out back and forth for a few days. I honestly believe you won't look back.
