Can You Flush Cat Litter? All Flushable & Unflushable Litters

July 17, 2018 By Johnny Salib 17 Comments

single-cat-worlds-best

Dear Pet Parents & Pet Lovers,

This is another one of the most common questions I used to get when I worked at the pet store. It’s crazy how many folks have tried to flush cat litter down before knowing whether or not it was safe. I’ve even had customers try to convince me that certain brands were flushable even though the bags were clearly labelled do not flush. So why not do a mega post with the most popular litter brands and let you know if they are flushable or not.

Now, remember, even though a litter is flushable you’re going to want to break it down into smaller pieces to make sure that it doesn’t block your plumbing. (Just because something is flushable, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have the chance to clog your drains.)

ARM & HAMMER

Products under this name that are NOT flushable:

  • Arm & Hammer Ultra Last Clumping Litter for Cats
  • Arm & Hammer Multi-Cat Clump & Seal Clumping Litter
  • Arm & Hammer Double Duty Litter
  • Arm & Hammer Slide Clumping Litter
  • Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Lightweight Litter
  • Arm & Hammer Multi-Cat Strength Clumping Litter
  • Arm & Hammer Clump and Seal Litter with Micro Guard
  • Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Clumping Litter – Fresh Home

Products under this name that ARE flushable:

***note: although most litters that are branded as “natural” are flushable, there have been bad experiences with flushing the litter above. I have never personally used Cat’s Pride, but I would avoid risking it if I were you.
