Kaytee Clean & Cozy Extreme Odor Control Bedding
Kaytee Clean & Cozy Extreme Odor Control Bedding earns its spot by combining low-dust, paper-based bedding with an added odor-control treatment that reduces ammonia and urine smells longer than untreated substrates. Technically it outperforms plain shavings and straw on continuous odor suppression and is a good choice for owners willing to pay a modest premium for less frequent full-bedding changes. Compared with spot-cleaning wipes and standalone deodorizers, it provides ongoing control so you can reduce labor and supplemental product spend over time.
