Description
Wood pellet cat litter is just like it sounds. It is made from pellets of wood, most commonly pine. Other types of wood can be used too, but pine wood has a natural scent that it brings to the litter. That means that chemical fragrances don’t have to be used in order to mask odors.
This type of cat litter has become more common to use as pet owners seek to make more eco-conscious decisions. Being made from a natural product means that this cat litter is biodegradable and often made from recycled materials. Wood pellets can also last a lot longer than traditional clay litter, and you don’t have to change it as often.
How It Works
Wood is a highly absorbent material, which is what makes wood pellets an effective cat litter. Wood pellet cat litter works very similarly to other types of cat litter by absorbing the liquid from urine. When the urine is absorbed, the odor is as well.
When urine is absorbed, the pellets turn to sawdust. The sawdust settles to the bottom of the litter pan and leaves behind fresh pellets on top. The pellets don’t absorb solids, but they will sit on top, and the natural pine fragrance of the litter helps to mask that smell.
