Performance notes
As a clumping clay litter, Clean Tracks is built to firm up around waste for easy scooping, and Dr. Elsey's frames the product around dependable litter box use with its guaranteed use claim. The unscented profile means odor control leans entirely on the clay's absorption and clumping strength rather than added fragrance.
What buyers say
9,000 reviews at a 4.4 star average and around 10,000 units bought in the past month point to a well-established, trusted product, particularly among owners buying in bulk for multi-cat households.
It comes in a 40 lb bag, more than double the size of the 17 lb boxes common in the Tidy Cats lineup, which can lower the cost per pound for regular litter buyers.
Is this litter scented?
No, this is an unscented clumping clay formula, so odor control comes from the clay's absorption rather than added fragrance.
What does the guaranteed litter box use claim mean?
Dr. Elsey's markets the product with a guarantee tied to reliable litter box use, reflecting confidence in the formula's performance, though as with any litter, individual cats can still have their own preferences.
