Is pelleted bedding a good substitute for normal cat litter?

Hi there,

I saw a TikTok yesterday, and they were using horse and small animal bedding pellets from Tractor Supply. I wanted to know if other people use it or if they use something else because I have used it for my horses and have had amazing luck with fragrance, absorbency, and dust management.

I’ve had great experiences using horse and small animal bedding pellets from Tractor Supply for my horses, thanks to their excellent fragrance, absorbency, and dust control. From what I’ve seen, many others also use these pellets for various animals, including small pets and livestock, for the same reasons. They’re popular for their effectiveness and value. Some people might use other bedding options like straw, hay, or shavings, depending on their preferences or the specific needs of their animals. However, if the pellets are working well for you, they’re a solid choice!

Yes, pelleted bedding, such as horse or small animal bedding pellets, is a perfect substitute for traditional cat litter.
Pelleted bedding has the following advantages:

  • Absorbency: Pelleted bedding is highly absorbent, turning into sawdust when wet, which helps manage moisture effectively.
  • Odor control: It naturally absorbs odors, particularly urine smells.
  • Low dust: Pelleted bedding tends to produce less dust than traditional clay litters, which is great for your and your cat’s respiratory health.
  • Eco-friendly: These pellets are often made from recycled materials and are biodegradable.
