Do not buy!

For those of you who still use clay cat-litter,like me,I have no other choice.
I have been buying my litter for years at Costco(don't know if I can say the name)they have now changed the formula to a"green"variety.
It is the most awful stuff,supposed to be 99,9% dustfree,but I just about choked putting it in the boxes and my downstairs bathroom filled with dust.
Needless to say,I went out and bought another litter,100% better.
I have contacted Costco,hopefully they'll stop selling it.

I used to love the Costco litter, but haven't bought it since they started with this new one. Hopefully, they'll go back to the other kind.

Costco only sells one type of litter I believe Melinda.
It's possible they changed it to a cheaper variety to keep the prices down. I bought some a couple of weeks ago in St. Cats and it was good. Maybe haven't got to the dusty one yet. Hopefully they won't.

They have changed it,even the box is different,it's a green box with leaves on it and it truly is horrible,maybe it has not been changed in all the stores yet.
It is the same brand name as before,but 100% different,I too liked the litter before.

My parents use that one too Chico...thanks for the heads up I'll let them know to look out for a change in the box, so they don't buy the new one.

Oh, no!!!! I have been using this brand for ages...price was good and the quality better than many of the brand names. I still have 3 boxes at home but will check if my local costco has changed the packaging yet and try to ge more of the original stuff if it is available.
