How often do you have to change out the litter? So how long does one 26 pound bag last?

I have 2 kittens so I change the litter about every 4 days. I guess a bag lasts about 6 weeks.

I have a 8 pound year old cat and I use one 26.5 pound bag a month. I filter out the poopies. I scoop out the pee area. If the pee has already turned to dust I scoop it out and throw it away every day. Refill when needed.

As soon as it gets wet because the pellets expand similar to a tampon. The good thing is that you don't need very much litter at all. Just a shallow layer on the base of the pan works perfectly. My 26-pound bag lasted about 7 weeks. I changed the litter 2-3 times a day for my 4lb rabbit.

I have two rabbits that share a large litter box, and I change the litterbox at least once a day. You dont need much litter though, as the pellets expand with moisture so one 26lb bag lasts around a month in my case - but I have two 5lb bunnies, not a cat or a dog.

I use 1 bag per box and it seems to be plenty. As the weeks progress I add a second bag and after 3-4 wks I change out the whole system. The recommended amount of traditional litter is 11/2 inches so this is less. I also think it depends on how many cats are using box. I have 4 cats sharing 3 boxes. Either way this system has reduced out stress load immensely. It's cleaner and easier to deal with overall.

To tell u the truth I use 1 at a time and usually add a second bag over 2 weeks or so. I usually do a deep clean every 3 weeks and change it out completely. I guess it depends on how many cats are using it too. I have 4 cats sharing 3 boxes (they don't use 1 of them for some odd reason).

Just curious how often you were cleaning the litter and how often you are changing it (and how many cats) that the smell is too much for the filter?

I usually use a trash bag...just put the round litter pan inside the trash bag and then to change it pull the bag of inside out...no mess, no fuss.

If you have more than one causing the litter tray, you will need to empty if sooner than usual or get another tray. I have 2 cats and 2 litter trays and with that I have to change the litter after the 45th or 50th use of the tray. You can keep track of the use with the number of times the litter is used. With multiple cats/kittens, you will certainly have to change the litter often. One tray does not make it with more that one cat unless you keep track of the number of uses.

We only have one cat, and I change after about 3 weeks. It could last longer, but my husband has a more sensitive nose and thinks it needs changing more frequently than I do.

I don't know how many cups are in a 25 lb. bag -- I'm not a mathmatician. But The bag lasts two-three months with two, 22-lb. dogs. The time it lasts is contingent their activity level. In the winter, 3. The other seasons 2 to 2-1/2. Was that helpful for you?

Use one bag per litter box and change it once a month. We thought it would not be enough, but it is fine. We have two breeze litter boxes, one per cat, and have not had any issues with the recommended amount. We do recommend scooping every day, and it is not as difficult as it sounds. Hope this helps.

I would say 25 - 30. I feed my 10 lb dog 3 a day and a bag usually lasts about 2+weeks.

I have two cats and usually replace it approximately every 4 to 6 weeks. While they could last longer I find that they do absorb the smell quite well but I purchase these to reduce cleanup and prevent smells so change them more frequently than others might.

Thanks for the info. We have 2 dogs and I'm worried that I'll have to change the bag once a week! It seemed like I was constantly dumping out the bagless one, a chore I really didn't like! I don't mind removing the bags, it's just that the cost of buying a lot of them can add up. We'll see how it goes - vacuum just arrived today!

Depends on how often you cat(s) play in it. I pull the whole thing apart, clean it, and change the filter every 2 to 3 weeks.

we change ours every week and a half or so for two cats. It was about every 2 weeks when we had just 1 cat. The waste gets raked into the box on the side. The crystals are awesome...my house NEVER smells like we have cats! Totally worth having!

Hello, I check my bag after each use. It usually lasts a good long time before it needs replaced. I like to change mine when it gets half full.

They last a very long time, I don't change mine out for maybe 6 months or so. I keep it scooped out daily, but find nothing sticks to the bottom and it doesn't absorb through. No odor develops over time either. The deeper sides make messy kitties a little cleaner too, it's harder for them to toss the litter over the sides.

hello Ron, The box says every 3 months but I change them approximately every 2 months. (that's just me) I have one cat and she is only 9 lbs. She also has a regular litter box downstairs. I am sure the scoopfree one would last as long as they suggest.
