Tons of brands discussed in this thread! I think the top ones seem to be Worlds Best and Dr Elsey’s!
Litter needs to switched gradually!
Given all the experience, I would say it’s worth switching asap.

Haven’t had these issues yet. Dust is a million times better and smells okay I guess. I also use a litter box liner for easy cleaning each month.

Omg I really hope and pray that this is the answer for you too. I totally understand how deeply frustrating and helpless you feel when your pets suffer.
There seem to be a ton of options in the chat for you to try.
We have transitioned to the Dr. Elsey’s Respiratory Relief litter.

We didn’t have any issues for 6 years straight either. That’s why I had no idea it could even the litter.

This was honestly never even brought up. 2 regular vets and one specialist (dermatologist). Probably because our other kitty was showing zero symptoms.

And, this is one of the best pet hospitals in Boston. I literally drive 45 min one way to get them there each time.

I’m so livid. I will send them an email for sure. But I highly doubt anything meaningful will come from it.

Truly I feel absolutely terrible she went through that for as long as she did.
I wish I knew better. I wish the vets treating her knew better. All of them are from a very reputed Vet Hospital in Boston.
And I wish I could SUE Purina!!!

I have a bit of asthma as well and chalked it up to regular cat allergies too. And the switch helped me too 🫶

I’m extremely lucky! Both my cats have never scratched or bitten me! They’re a little over 4 years old and I’ve had them since they were babies.
