Dr. Jennifer Taketani, veterinarian and medical director at Corona Del Mar Animal Hospital, a Thrive Pet Healthcare partner, explained all the benefits of tofu litter and they’re actually pretty convenient.
For starters, it isn’t actually made of tofu but what’s left over from its manufacturing — and it’s all-natural, non-toxic, biodegradable and even flushable.
The Fukumaru litter, in particular, is made from a standard blend of corn starch and pea fiber, two pet-safe materials that Taketani said absorb liquid and bind with natural starches to form a solid clump around urine or feces, which can then be easily removed, leaving cleaner litter and a reduced chance of conditions like urinary tract infections for your cat.
″[The] clumping ability seems similar to that of clay litter,” she said, adding that “Tofu litter claims to be better at odor neutralization than traditional litter, as it traps odors without strong artificial scents.”
Reviewers who have tried the Fukumaru formula, which comes in either a white tea or neutral fresh scent, say just how impressive its odor-diffusing abilities are.
