86% OF CHICKS DIG IT
I was selected to try this product free as a member of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. The product is not sold in any of the stores in my town (I checked Canadian Tire, Walmart, Pet Valu, Global Pets, Sobeys and Superstore). The Walmart here finally ordered me in a box at the beginning of April - but it was the wrong size for the discount coupon that was sent by ChickAdvisor. The regular price of the Clump & Seal LightWeight litter is double the price of what I usually buy for the same package size of the Purina Tidy Cats brand. So, at that time I was definitely not prepared to pay the difference.
Finally, at the end of April (and long passed the review deadline - which I was gratefully excused from), I was able to pick up the proper size box using the ChickAdvisor coupon! That box was purchased in the city - an hour drive away from the town I live.
My impressions of the product itself are quite positive! I am glad to have finally found it. If I had to do it again - I would totally pay the difference on that coupon for the larger box. Here's why:
The first thing I noticed was the nice carry handle on top of the box. On one side of the box, there is a perfect diagram and instructions of how to keep a litter pan properly cleaned. That was useful. I was surprised when I read that by scooping and topping up daily, that I only had to do a total empty and sanitizing of the litter pan on a monthly basis! With the usual litter - I have to do a total empty-out, wash and fill every week.
When I used this fact calculating the cost - it shows me that I can get away with buying one box every 2 months! With my usual stuff (and having to change the whole pan out weekly), I go through the same amount of litter in less than a month - making me have to usually buy two jugs of litter a month. Thus, costing the same as this Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal LeightWeight Litter in the end.
My suggestion, for the brand - is to put the fact that this product only needs to be completely emptied monthly in big and bold on the front of the box. That way it will make more sense to buy it for those of us out there that shop with a calculator.
The other side of the box promises that the litter "destroys odours on contact." This has been fulfilled over and over again throughout the last week or so. Before using this litter, when my kitten would poo, the whole apartment would stink for at least an hour. Like - a gagging sort of stink. Now, he has a poo and I don't even know it til I see him wiping his paws on the heater (I know, he's weird, get over it lol). He also doesn't flick all kinds of litter onto his mat under his litter pan anymore. This is nice - because I can finally walk into my bathroom with bare feet. Like the package says- his pee really does sink down and form one big pee puck at the bottom of his pan.
Now for the big promise: 100% Dust Free. Just to be clever, I poured the box from a standing position so that I was a bit higher than usual. A comfortable pouring stance, if you will. Normally, I've got to bend right down there to avoid kicking up too much dust, hold my breath and jump in the shower right after filling the pan to get the gross smell and feeling out of my pores and off me and my PJ's. Not with this stuff! I was able to comfortably pour the recommended amount and there was no dust! I also like how dark and soft it looks. I'd like to think that my cat appreciates the softer stuff too.
I think the name is confusing to some people. They see "LightWeight" and think 4.08kg is going to feel like 2kg, so that's what their bodies tell them when they pick up the box. Honestly, I'm not sure what LightWeight means either. Is it the finer grain of sandy litter? Is it that this is truly Dust Free? Who knows - at any rate - if you follow the directions on the box, you will be surprisingly pleased with this product...if you can find it.
With all that being said - I will not purchase this product when it runs out. Only because when it's time to get litter, I want it to be on the shelf in front of me. Not almost an hour away in some other city. If I could trust that this product were to be always carried here in town, I would permanently switch to this product. But buying it once every two months, I just can't see myself going through such a hassle.

No dust! Odor control is very good. It clumps well but the best is the lack of dust. I keep the box in a small laundry room, so the lack of dust is awesome
The litter is dust free but the pieces od litter are tracked way too easily and you have to sweep or vacuum after each use. The price is a little higher than i prefer as well.
t seemed to love it . and no smell as we scoooped it everyday and I liked that there was no smesh after he did his business, no dust everywhere, no putty cat paw prints YEAH, will definately be buying thiying Arm & Hammer & Seal Clumping Litter from now on. Thanks for such a great product.
I had a hard time finding it. None of the stores I went to carried it. That is why I took so long to write my review. I loved how light the Arm & Hammer Lightweight Litter was.
this lightweight kitty litter is actually pretty good. The quality is awesome, it's very fine and I think easier on kitty's paws It has a great smell and is dust free. So cleaning out the litter isn't as bad as it usually was. The only problem is the cost is pretty high and the box is far from full. So if you are a penny pincher it won't be for you
I had a hard time finding this product in stock but when I did find it I was suprised by the price. It is about double the price of my normal brand of cat litter. It did the job well but I don't think my cat liked the fact that I changed her litter because she went outside of the box a couple of times. It has a fresh smelling odor and I'm sure would be good for cats that aren't picky about sticking to the same brand of litter. I prefer litter that comes in a box with a lid that is easy to take off an on that I can scoop the litter out of. A heavy box is harder to lift so I need to take the whole top off to put a scoop in.
I'm stil lin love with my current litter, but in light of it being announced that it would be disconitnued, this may the option. Minimal dust and it's fairly clean.
This works well. The cat seemed to like it in that he kept using the litter box with this in it. The price was a bit steep even with a coupon which I had when I bought it. I like trying new things, but have to admit price would be a reason to not keep buying this product.
I was super excited to try this product. When I was notified via Chickadvisor' Product review Club that I would be anle to try this for free before purchase made me extremely happy. I have been looking endlessly to find a Litter that holds true to its claims.
The Arm and Hammer Clump and seal Lightweight Litter formula seems to hit all its marks. I live in a relatively small space and my boyfriend always seems to be complaining about Harlee's litter box. I've tried everything. Baking soda, deodorizer sand every litter known to man. They all seem to have the same problem, dusty, heavy and rather smelly. And we all know there is nothing worse than the smell of a dirty litter box.
The Arm and Hammer Clump and seal worked very well for me. Less dust, very lightweight, doesn't have my garbage weighing a tonne when it comes to putting the trash out. Which is nice. No lugging around smelly litter. And it's kept all the odours at bay. Loved this product. Totally recommend to anyone with four legged furry friends.
Thanks Chickadvisor
