\"Scoop<\/p>\n

The Scoop Away brand has existed for nearly three decades and, in many ways, has become synonymous with clumping cat litter. The first national brand of clumping cat litter, Scoop Away offer a variety of products at an affordable price point for all cat owners to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Though some cat litter companies offer more choices (as well as natural or alternative litters), Scoop Away sticks to what they know, and their products are consistently well reviewed.<\/p>\n

It may not be the top brand on the market, but it fills an important role by providing cat owners with an affordable, reliable brand of clumping cat litter that works just as well for single-cat and multi-cat households.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a brand you can trust priced under $0.50, and you\u2019re not concerned about variety, Scoop Away is a great option to consider.<\/p>\n\n

      Brand Overview<\/h2>\n

      Scoop Away\u2019s story began in 1987 when A&M Products introduced clumping cat litter to the United States. Though production initially began in the founder\u2019s garage, the company grew quickly and came to acquire the Black Hills Bentonite Company.<\/p>\n

      This gave them access to a guaranteed source of high-quality clumping clay \u2013 one that is still used today. In 1990, the demand for clumping cat litter had grown exponentially, and Catsanova\u2019s Scoop Away litter was introduced. The Catsanova name was later dropped, and Scoop Away became the first national brand of clumping cat litter.<\/p>\n

      Over the years, A&M Products changed hands and names a number of times, but the Scoop Away brand stayed strong.<\/p>\n

      The brand itself has changed with the times, making innovative upgrades to their products including the use of Plus Crystals in 2002 and the switch from plastic jugs to recyclable cardboard cartons in 2009.<\/p>\n

      In 2016, Scoop Away introduced their low-dust formula with 5 times the protection of previous formulas, offering hard-clumping action, antimicrobial properties, and superior odor-fighting benefits. Today, Scoop Away offers six unique formulas.<\/p>\n

      What Kinds of Litter Does the Brand Offer?<\/h2>\n

      The Scoop Away brand offers six different formulas, all of which are clumping cat litters made with high-quality bentonite clay. Though this litter is made from natural clay materials, it is not biodegradable or flushable like some cat litters.<\/p>\n

      There are slight differences among the different formulas, but all six offer 5x protection, which includes the following:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Waste and urine odors are absorbed and eliminated on contact<\/li>\n
      2. Waste and fluids are easily removed from the litter box<\/li>\n
      3. Bacterial odors are completely banished<\/li>\n
      4. Paw-activated fresh scent is release with each use<\/li>\n
      5. Lower dust formula keeps air and surfaces clean<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The different formulas offer different degrees of odor control, including both scented and unscented options. All six recipes offer hard-clumping action because the granules themselves are very small and highly absorbent. They react to liquid quickly, forming solid clumps that control odor and make it easy to scoop and remove waste. Plus, it leaves virtually no used litter behind after scooping.<\/p>\n

        The three formulas we\u2019re reviewing here are all clumping formulas.<\/p>\n
