Kit4Cat 2lb Hydrophobic Litter at Home Cat Urine Sample Collection Kit 1 bag

Our cat seemed to not even entertain the idea of using any of the other bead-like urine sample collection litters, but she took to this one almost immediately and without any fuss. The urine was very easy to collect after, as it pooled on top of the litter. Easy to clean, too. Also, importantly, there is enough of it to cover the whole tray area, in case your cat is fussy about there being enough litter in the tray. It seems expensive, but considering it contains three bags of it, it's actually quite comparable in price to the seemingly cheaper ones which only come in one small bag, roughly of similar quantity to 1/3 of the total you'll get from this.

First things first, yes it's expensive for what you get. You may need a couple bags. Our vet gave us a tiny bag of plastic pellets, which absolutely was not fooling Coco, and out of desperation we bought a bag of this litter. We bulked it up with the pellets, had to supervise him for a while since he has a track record of peeing elsewhere when his litter is changed, and once he finally swallowed his disdain enough to use the litter tray... it worked perfectly. The urine was nicely pooled on top and incredibly easy to collect. Coco didn't like it, which is his fault, but the litter itself did exactly what it was meant to do, highly recommended for desperate owners.

Great product. Very easy to use

In the past when a urine sample has been needed, I used the vet provided hydrophobic beads, but this was very stressful as my cat did NOT like it and spent hours clearly needing to go, but sniffing the tray, hopping in, hopping out, and eventually very reluctantly going. So based on the reviews I thought I'd try this.Quantity: Unless you have a tiny litter tray, you'll likely need to use at least 2 x 300g bags, which is what I did, and that will only provide you a very thin layer across most of a standard litter tray.Quality of Litter: Very good, and does what it needs to (stays separate from the urine).Use: My cat used it on first try with no objections!Pipettes: Small but functional.Sample vials: This is why I have not given 5 stars. The vials are fine, but the stopper (not screw cap style) just keep wanting to pop out, slowly lifting further and further out of the vial, which makes both stoppers and vials useless unless you have someone to hold them in place until you get to the vet (not likely). I was incredibly lucky that I had a spare screw top vial from last year, because otherwise I had no idea what I would have done.Very expensive, but despite the vial issue, overall worth it, especially if it's okay to re-use the litter I saved for next time (I'm going to check with the vet).

Very limited quantity for the high price of the product. I measured the bag and it was only 1.4 lbs to start with and definitely not enough for my cat to be interested in using this. Complete waste of money.

very expensive when elsewhere it is a 3rd of the price

My elderly cat is recovering from hyperthyroidism treatment which needs 3 follow up urine samples. She hates litter trays but needs must! I didn't let her go out as usual before bed and, within 10 mins of locking her in a room with her tray, she'd used it. Comes with 3 handy pipettes and sample tubes. Happy me and happy kitty who was then free to roam the house.I bought two bags not knowing what to expect. There are 3 small bags within the outer wrapping, I used all 3 small bags (1 outer) which gave about 1cm of coverage, enough for purpose for my cat but if you've got a deep digger, buy at least two. As she'd wet in one corner, I saved the majority of the untouched sand and rebagged it for next time, discarding the part she'd used. Too expensive to waste!
