Niveau odeur c’est standard et le prix outch haha je dois avouer que ça fait un peu mal au portefeuille sur le coup ! Je donne un 8/10

    HardBall LightWeight

    Overall great litter!
    This litter is super lightweight, looks and sifts like sand. Clumps very firmly, though sticks to the sides/bottom of litter pan and needs a little force to be removed but I liked that it clumped so firmly. We have a sifting pan in our litter box and it would get stuck in the sifting pan and almost wet/sticky and difficult to remove. We only had a 3.17Kg box for our full size litter box which may have contributed to this not being deep enough.
    The litter didn’t track or get stuck on the cats paws, though I feel it didn’t contain the smell as well as our current Arm and Hammer litter.
    If we didn’t have a sifting litter pan I’d would purchase this again.

    Like this litter

    I recently switched to @armandhammer and can’t stop praising it! This litter truly lives up to all its claims. It’s incredibly lightweight (almost 60% lighter than regular clay litter), making replacement and refilling super convenient.

    The texture is very similar to sand, yet it forms amazingly strong clumps. I use it with an automatic cat toilet, and it works flawlessly — no issues with automatic cleaning. The clumps don’t fall apart during cleaning, so the box stays clean.

    I’m pleasantly surprised by the odor control system. The light scent of the litter doesn’t irritate either me or my cat, but excellently neutralizes unpleasant odors. The promised 20 days of freshness is no exaggeration!

    Another big plus is the very low dust level. Previously, after changing litter, I had to wipe all surfaces around it, but with HardBall™, this problem doesn’t exist.

    Recommended for everyone, especially owners of automatic litter boxes — works like clockwork!

    Okay litter, but scent is unbearable

    I have two cats, so I go through litter! I normally use OdourLock or Arm & Hammer Slide. I love the idea of a lightweight litter, because nobody likes carrying a big heavy box or bag of litter home! However, when I have tried lightweight litter in the past, I have found that because it is so lightweight, it tracks EVERYWHERE, not just in the immediate vicinity of the litterbox. However, I was excited to try this litter and see how it fared.

    Pros:
    -Virtually dust free, more than any litter I have ever tried before
    -Easy to carry the box

    Cons:
    -Scent. Although nothing on the box indicates that this litter is scented, it has such a strong artificial scent, and when I look up the ingredients, "fragrance" is listed. My entire apartment smells of it, from the minute you walk in. I don't know how much longer I can take the scent, and this is really the main con for me that would prevent me from ever using it again.
    -Tracks everywhere. This is in line with other lightweight litters I have tried, but this litter has scattered to all corners of my apartment.
    -Not good at masking the poop odour.

    I can't really comment on how long it stays fresh for, as I have only used it for four days so far. Both cats have used the box (they do have a second litterbox available with their regular litter, but I put the litter in their preferred box). One of my cats really doesn't seem to like it and is only using it grudgingly - she often sniffs around the box and then leaves, comes back, sniffs, leaves, comes back and then finally uses the box. She doesn't like stepping on the litter, but she is the same way with our regular litter. I wonder if it's the smell getting to her. The other cat uses it fine.

    It typically forms good clumps as advertised, although I did scoop out a disintegrated clump too. I wouldn't say this litter is special at all in terms of clumping ability.

    Cost-wise, one box is barely enough litter for the box, whereas for a similar price I can get 1.5-2 boxes full with my usual litter.

    I don't think I will re-purchase, and I'm not even sure I will get the full 20 days out of this one because I cannot stand the scent and have a constant headache while I am home. I would not have even tried this product if I had known it was scented, but this isn't mentioned on the packaging. If it didn't have a scent, I would be more willing to try, although the tracking is also quite bad.

    New ARM & HAMMER HardBall Lightweight Cat Litter

    I recently had the chance to try the new ARM & HAMMER HardBall Lightweight Cat Litter, and I’m seriously impressed! One of the biggest selling points is that it’s 60% lighter than traditional litter, making it much easier to carry and pour. Despite being lightweight, it forms ultra-compact clumps, which significantly reduces mess and makes scooping a breeze.

    Another standout feature is its ability to shrink waste and lock in odors. I noticed a big difference in how well it controlled smells compared to other litters I’ve used. My cat took to it right away, and the low-dust formula kept my space cleaner.

    A huge thank you to Butterly for the coupon, which made trying this product even better! I purchased it from Walmart, and I’ll definitely be buying it again. If you’re looking for a lightweight, effective, and mess-free litter, this is worth checking out

    Smells AMAZING!!

    This litter is the best smelling litter I have ever bought. The colour and texture did throw me off a bit but it works so well. The easy transition guide made the transition from our old litter to this was seamless. It really keeps the smell at bay and I love that!!

    Wow great cat litter

    Wow a great cat litter. It wasn’t dusty like other brands. A little pricey but if it works why not pay more. I have 4 cats so to buy this it would not be worth it , but if I had only one I would definitely buy it. I will recommend it to other cat owners. I received this product free for my honest opinion form butterly.

    Dust Free

    Thanks for the opportunity for my cat Radley to try Arm & Hammer light weight clumping litter. Dusty litter has been a severe problem, and I have been looking for something that is not such a huge mess. I'm really happy that this litter is dust-free, odor- free, easy to scoop, and lightweight. Scooping is much easier, and there are no crumbles left when scooping. Radley approves, and that's the best part! * FreeProduct

    Game changer

    I have used every cat litter on the market in the past years and I love this stuff. This one has the best clumping and odor control in my experience. I would highly recommend.

    Litter

    Thank you @thisisbutterly for this #freesample!
    This litter is super clumping, more than others, which is great. It makes it very easy to scoop.
    Luckily we have multiple litter boxes, because while one of my cats is fond of this litter, the other won't go anywhere near it. Cats...they have a strong mind!
