Simply Purrfect review: cat litter 28

I've been purchasing and using Simply Purrfect litter from Costco for probably over 10 years and until the last year or so I have been extremely pleased. However, I have noticed a continual decline in this product over the last year or so. It no longer controls the odor and the clumping is very hit a miss. Sometimes it clumps the urine and other times there is just a large, unclumped puddle of urine that then will not scoop our with the litter scoop, as it just falls thru the sifting slots. I have put off writing any sort of review for several months, but have finally gotten to the point that I feel the company and any new consumers (as those using it obviously already are aware) should know about these issues. I am looking at changing the brand of litter I use by trying others on the market. I sincerely hope Simply Purrfect goes back to an older formula so that I may continue to purchase the product knowing it will do the trick. Thank you for your time.

I’ve been using this cat litter for a long time and have been very happy with it.
Not any longer- it looks like they have started just selling sand!
Doesn’t clump, smells bad after a day and is almost unusable for its intended use.

I too agreed 100%. When we first started using simply purrfect it worked great. Now we've been noticing it doesn't control the Odor and doesn't clumps when you scoop. We've also noticed there's some sort of Crystal like sand in the litter. At first we thought maybe it's our cat not digesting food. After doing some research on the internet other consumers are experiencing the same thing. I will no longer be buying this product.

I’m very unhappy with the new packaging purchased here in Richmond BC.
The cardboard box is heavier (there is more product in the box than the jugs) harder to handle and rips if you try to pour it out as I did with the plastic jug.

Scooping out of the box is a chore and it was much more time effective to pour.

Let’s review this at the consumer level ok?
It’s ok to admit a mistake and go back to the way it was.

Thanks.

This litter is terrible! We bought it today and put it in our cat box and right away my black kitten was turned gray from the dust. Now the inside of his nose has been coated white with sticky dust. With how hard I had to scrub the white stuff off the outside of his nose, I know this isn’t good for his little lungs. I’m now having to rush out to the store at midnight to get new litter so he’s not breathing more of this crap in. Has anyone else dealt with this? Seems like a health concern to me.

This is the worst cat litter I have ever bought. No odor control whatsoever and the clumping factor is almost nonexistent, on top of that there is so much dust put in the air when pouring that I can barely breath. I thought it was a good value and would be a quality product since it was coming from Costco, but instead it was a big disappointment!

I've been using the Simply Purrfect litter for many years, and noticed recently that the smell has changed from a piney clean smell to a perfume type smell. The whole reason I bought this brand was because it didn't smell like perfume. I'm now going to have to find a new brand. Not happy.

Like most other reviewers, I’ve been using this product for many years and the quality has definitely gone down hill quick the last year or so... it barely clumps anymore and doesn’t absorb odor anymore. I’ll have to find a new brand, this is a useless product now...

Wow, something is really going on with this litter. My cats have been acting up like they have allergies or something and the litter smells like cat urine all the time. The dust and smell is off the charts . I thought maybe I can give this litter a chance and see what’s going on online and sure enough here are other people seeing the same thing I am. This new litter is straight garbage. I want to be refunded for all the litter I have been wasting my money on with this new formula. Why would you change something that works perfect? everyone is clearly a big fan when Costco dropped it and now because of the change in formula and quality I can now see it getting kicked again. Good luck, I won’t be buying again.

Same experiences as noted above. Have been using Simply Purrfect for years and loving it.
Had no fragrance, clumped and scooped easily and there was no dust. With the new formulation it does not clump, has a horrible, overpowering, faux floral scent (really objectionable) and a cloud of dust appears when new litter is poured into the litter box. Doubting myself, I tried a second jug of it, thinking the first one was just a bad batch; sadly it seems to be the new recipe. I will be returning the unused portion and trying to find a replacement brand.

The cat litter is so dusty and turns into cement🤦 it broke my scoop trying to scrape it off the litter box. The cat litter gets everywhere. It's disgusting

Awful doesn't begin to describe this cat litter formulation. Once I finish this box of litter, I will not buy Simply Purrfect because I LOVE MY CATS and do not want them to die from respiratory complications. The dust level of this litter is the worst I have EVER used...ever! Not only do I have to wear an N95 mask so that I don't get fine dust in my lungs, but I am very concerned as to what it is doing to my 3 cats.
Costco, take this off the market before you get sued for wrongful death of their cat(s) due to dust inhalation.
PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OLD FORMULA! It was heavier but it had much less dust.

I agree with all the comments above especially the lack of clumping, dust and used to be good. I wrote to Simply Perfect but we should be directing our attention to Costco to apply pressure as it seems that is the only retail outlet.

I've been using Costco's purrfect litter for years. The product has been changed to a new formula that doesn't clump and stinks of an obnoxious perfume odour. I returned 2 boxes yesterday. I've now ordered from Amazon it's more expensive but they deliver monthly.

I bought 5 x14kg pails at Giant Tiger ...worst product I have ever used...Clumps disintegrate a soon as you try to scoop...GT used to have Simplicity in a similar pail and I was very satisfied with that qyality versus value...Stay away from the Purrfect

I recently complained to the Canadian office of the company that makes Simply Perfect litter. The product is mined in Wyoming, USA. The newer white jug contents (by comparison to the older green jugs) don't clump. No problem the rep sez, "I'll send you a refund check for the three jugs whose contents are defective". That's a lie; no refund.

But I have a solution: Put some (maybe 5 to 10 lbs) of the nasty stuff from your litter boxes back into each white jug, and take it back to Costco. They have a full record of all of your purchases, so there is no verification problem. You bought a defective product from Costco, and now you're returning the defective product. And now you can clean your litter box(es) and put something different in it/them. Most litter boxes clean well by putting them in an elongated toilet bowl, and using the bowl scrub brush.

Now Costco is carrying a different product in a box, with 4 ten lb sacks inside. We'll see if this is a good litter product or more of the same junk, as in the white 35 lb bottles.

You had a great product latest purchase from Costco a total failure won’t clump at. I’m switching brands.
