Scoop away and Fresh Step are not the exact same although they are made by the same company so are very similar.
Fresh Step is owned by Clorox company and also manufacturers Scoop Away and Ever Clean pet brands.
Fresh Step litter lasts up to 10 days and keeps the litter box fresh for the 10 days although if you have more than a few cats you may need to change the fresh step litter every 2 to 3 days.
The difference between fresh step and pretty litter is pretty litter has a more cat friendly texture and fresh step cat litter has larger crystals and so it reduces tracking but can be less comfortable for cats.
Fresh Step Cat Litter is safe for cats and the crystals are also very safe for cats.
Cats with respiratory issues may benefit from switching to a natural litter with minimal dust.
Grass cat litters are consistently among the most dust-free of the best natural cat litters, though it was found in testing that some of the walnut, wood, and grain litters produced equally minimal dust.
In 2023 Fresh Step cat litter company had a cyber attack which brought down their computer systems and equipment so they were unable to produce the cat litter.
However now Fresh Step Cat litter is still available and back in stock in most stores and online.
Fresh Step non clumping litter is out of stock everywhere as a result of the company being impacted by a cybersecurity attack on the company Clorox who makes Fresh Step non clumping litter.
The Cyber attack has prevented the company from producing and selling the Fresh Step non clumping litter and other litter as a result of their machines and equipment being down.
However now it's back in stock in most stores and online.
So if you can't find the Fresh Step non clumping cat litter in stores you can buy it through Amazon and other online retailers and have it shipped to your door.
Non-clumping litters don't clump around your cats “solids”, so they can get spread around and contaminate the rest of the litter, which isn't only unsanitary but can also be dangerous as cat poo may carry Toxoplasmosis or other harmful bacteria.
