Is this litter good for a cat with asthma?

It is made for that case. It is low in dust and free of perfumes and plant proteins, which are common triggers. Many owners of asthmatic cats report less coughing and sneezing after switching.

Does it have a scent?

No. It has no added perfume or deodorant, so odor control comes from the clay and clumping rather than fragrance.

How does it compare with Dr. Elsey's Ultra?

Ultra is a general-purpose clumping clay with a harder clump and a bit more dust. Respiratory Relief trades some clumping strength for lower dust and no plant proteins.

Will it track out of the litter box?

It can. It is a fine, heavy clay, and owners commonly report tracking. A mat and a high-sided box reduce it.

How many cats does the 40 lb bag suit?

One bag lasts about a month for one cat and less for several. The large size suits multi-cat homes that scoop daily.

No. Clay litter should not be flushed; it clogs pipes. Scoop clumps into the trash.

Our take on the Dr. Elsey's Respiratory Relief Clumping Clay Cat Litter

Dr. Elsey's Respiratory Relief is a clumping clay litter built for cats with respiratory problems and for owners bothered by dust. It is a low-dust, unscented formula with no plant proteins, perfumes or deodorants, and it clumps hard for scooping. It suits households with asthmatic or sensitive cats and people who dislike scented litters. Against cheaper clay litters it gives up nothing in clumping, but it costs more and is sold in large bags. Owners say it controls dust and odor well; some find the clumps heavy and the litter tracked.
