My BF gets it when he works in Guelph he found it cheap somewhere there - he works all over the area so always checks and picks it up if he sees it cheap - same with the catfood.

I find Toronto is super expensive the few times we have grabbed stuff while shopping down there so generally buy further out. I have also found that when we buy from our local pet valu we get a different price if the owner is there compared to when there is just staff there... but they know us well.

I will ask him - thats what he said the prices are - but he could be wrong, I doubt he would pay $50 for litter though, I would imagine I would get the 'they are going back to cheap $2.99 litter' talk in that case.

I checked the bank account and he spent $48.56 and he bought a couple of bags of treats too - so perhaps it is right... we haven't bought a small bag in a while so not sure how much they run anymore

I also find even in the 3 pet valus in my city - one doesn't stock WBCL (in fact had never heard of it) and the other two have totally different prices. Its strange because the 'healthy' food shop I get Evo from won't stock WBCL even for me and just have clay or yesterdays news

I'll check out pet stores next time i go outtown then, thanks!!!
ahha it's not really a $2.99 difference talk la, we are talking about like almost $10 difference for a medium bag lei. Food price also varies a lot too, i saw wellness dry at one store for $34 and anotehr for $25....jeez

i remember there was a post about using chicken feed as cat litter a while back, it was supposed to work like WBCL, any of you tried it yet? I still have no luck finding chicken feed in Toronto.

I'm curious, does chicken feed clump like WBCL?

but both petsmart and superpet carries it.

i got mine at petsmart for $21. it's 17lb + 20%bonus

supermpet have it as well, just the regular 17lb, and they r selling it at $29 so it's much more expensive.

for petsmart i go to first markham place location. (hwy 7 & woodbine)
superpet i go to kenney commons (kennedy hwy 401)


for those of u who use WBCL, how long would it last you before you change the entire litter?
mine is about 3 weeks. so a bag of 17lb would only last me for 6 weeks. but it claims on it bag that it shoudl last 2 cats for 36 days,i have only one so i imagine it would last me 72 days, which is 2.5 months. is it the way i use it that shortens the life of the litter???
We have 2 cats and I scoop a minimum of once per day (sometimes 2 if I have time in the morning). I add a cup or 2 of fresh to the current litter every couple days and I only completely change out the litter about every 5-6 weeks. The large bag lasts us easily 6 weeks or more.

Every Pet Valu (Canadian Stores) that I have ever gone into carries WBCL.

I add a fresh scoop or two of litter to the used litter every couple days and this seems to work amazingly well. The litter box is in our bedroom and we don't notice any odour (except when they just get finished going to the bathroom).

I'd be interested in where he gets it and how much he pays since I often shop in Guelph.

Well we tried to PC stuff and they seem to like it - but I would need to find bigger bags - it barely covers our big box.

He doesn't remember and i can't find a receipt so I will have to check how much he pays when he gets a bag next week

We went to get litter this week so I checked

$21.99 for the 17lb (with free 20%)
$32.99 for the 34lb

At PetValu... he thinks thats the same as he paid in Guelph but he hasn't been working up there lately

I used to use the PC GREEN litter but switched to WBCL because of the larger bags. My cats perfer the PC but I perfer WBCL because of tracking. Since Pc is finer it seemed to get stuck in there paws and went everywhere. Everything else about it was great though. No smells, ok to scoop and light weight.

After reading some of the posts here I email Presidents Choice at work (I work for a Loblaws store) about producing larger bags. Im still waiting for a responce.

Mine did actually like the PC stuff but with the smaller bags it actually works out more expensive as I get coupons for every 9 bags I buy. There is a fortinos just down the road though so would be a lot easier to get it while I am shopping.

I found 1 place in Oakville that will order in WBCL and sells EVO I think with driving to opposite sides of the city for the litter and food i would be better off going to Oakville - once he calls me back with a price on the litter, the evo is $8 cheaper there!

I use WBCL for one cat using two litter boxes. I change the litter and sterilize the pan every 4-6 weeks and there is no odor. The deeper you used this litter, the better, as the urine clumps before it has a chance to even hit the bottom of the litter pan. tracking is minimal but I don't have a fussy cat in the least. after her spaying she used shredded paper for a week with out blinking.

I was using WBCL and liked it. Tried a bag of 'Clump and Fllush' and liked it even better. It's light as a feather, easy to scoop out and there's absolutely no dust. It lasts much longer then WBCL.

I would not use any other kind of litter after trying this 'Clump and Flush'.

I hadn't heard of this brand so I did a google search. I found a lot of reviews for it, but the only places that are selling it seem to be in the U.K. I wonder if it's even available in the U.S.
