There are cases when it does not suit the four-legged pet: the seals go to the toilet where they feel comfortable. Ask the breeder or the former owner of the animal what kind of filler he used.

A curious animal will want to taste the components, especially those that emit, so when you buy, you need to pay attention to it. It is typical for cats to dig in a tray, in the process of which dust rises and settles on the floor surface.

An important factor is the price of the filler. It will be necessary to change the tray often, and if there is more than one fluffy at home, the use of raw materials increases several times.

Paper filler is cheaper than wood filler. However, it has not very high absorbing properties and does not cope well with a specific smell.
