Yes, I scoop his litter box twice a day. The Respiratory Relief is the best litter I have tried so far, as far as dustiness goes, and I've tried most of them. I will be sticking with it for the time being if he continues to do well with it. On Sat, Nov 16, 2013 at 10:14 AM, wrote: > tINA, DO

I also tried Sweet Scoop. It is not only dusty, but when not scooped soon enough, gets moldy. I am and have been for several years using World's Best litter. It is a little bit dusty, but other than Blue Diamond's Walnut hull litter they are all dusty to some extent. I also like the Blue Buff

I highly recommend a chest x-ray. If you have a vet that does digital radiography, that would be even better, as it should have a higher resolution than the old-style film x-rays, and the vet can store it digitally and easily compare to future scans, should your kitty need them. On Nov 10, 2013
