Is the 18 lb. bag enough to fill the cat box one time?

I would think it would be for a normal size litter box. An oversized one might need more. I think the 40lb is a better deal though.

Our litter box is approx. 13"x18" and one 18 lb. bag is not enough to fill the box so that the urine does not go right through to the bottom. The one bag put 2 inches of litter in the box. I think 3 inches is better (for scooping ease), so I use one and a half of the 18 lb. bags when I'm doing a complete litter change. Every few days, I add more of the litter. My cat requires that I scoop his box at least four times a day, so I do go through the litter fairly quickly.

If I remember correctly I filled 2 litter boxes with the 18 lb. bag so definitely!

I depends on the cat box:). I use a modkat top entry box and it's the perfect amount.

I own the 40lb. Bag. So far I've topped off my cat's litter box 2 times. As far as filling it, I'd say it can fill it 2 times, maybe 3, from empty to filled.

We have the large version of the Omgea rolling litter box. The 18lb bag fills it perfectly.

I think I buy the 40 lb. bag and have plenty left over. I have the jumbo disposable boxes. I have one cat. I fill the jumbo box 80% to the top and over time it decreases b/c of use. This litter is so absorbent, that I can just add more litter to return it to 80% once it gets too low. No odors, no urine gets to the bottom b/c the litter absorbs it so well and quickly. Best litter I ever bought.

That would be a lot of litter. Usually about 3-4 inches of litter should go in the box. It depends on how many cats will be using it, how big your litter box is and the frequency you will be cleaning it.What size box will you be using?

I noticed that it seems to last longer than the other clay brand I used to buy. I would say one 40lb bag per month for 1 cat. But it depends on how often you empty the litterbox and refill it.

Definitely not! This was purchased for my sister's 18 pound cat and he loves it.

No, not easily. Once filled there is enough weight to keep it firmly upright. I'd keep it out of the cat's reach though.

It is pretty roomy. If the cats are true snuggle buddies than yes, if they have any independent streak at all then I would say that you need two. It will be tight for two ten pound furry friends.

I use 1 bag per box and it seems to be plenty. As the weeks progress I add a second bag and after 3-4 wks I change out the whole system. The recommended amount of traditional litter is 11/2 inches so this is less. I also think it depends on how many cats are using box. I have 4 cats sharing 3 boxes. Either way this system has reduced out stress load immensely. It's cleaner and easier to deal with overall.

The larger bag - yes. Although I have not tried to do this I believe it is large enough. The smaller bag. No.

This bag should work for an 11-12 pound Shih Tzu. My cats are 14 and 18 pounds - not a lot of room for either of them to stand up and move around, but they both seemed to have plenty of room and were comfortable. That being said, cats seem to like something that is a little confining when they travel. I don't know if it is FAA approved - the product description states that it is 100% airline compliant. For the price, it is a great value and even if you only used it to go back and forth the the vet it would be worthwhile for that. One thing it has that not all soft carriers have is a zippable opening that you can open and pet your dog or drop in treats. This bag should work for an 11-12 pound Shih Tzu.

That depends n the number of cats and the internal workings thereof. We currently have one cat who does not use the litter box too frequently, so one bag lasts for more than 1 week. It depends on your personal preferences how full you want the bag to get before disposal. We have a recurring order for repacement bags. They come 4 to a box so we have scheduled our orders accordingly.

It seems to me that it would but it could fill faster than you'd hope depending on the size of the dog and his or her output as well depending on the number of dogs. A dog may also knock the container over if s/he is the type to try and eat the waste. What this has done for me is to scoop whenever I pass the pan and that has controlled the odor even more than closing off the cat litter waste in a bag. I do appreciate not smelling the old waste when I add current waste because I close the lid and pull out the slide and it drops below. I use an enamel scooper too which doesn't hold the odor. Be forewarned that the bag can be heavy when it is full and you do have to handle the top portion when you cut and tie off a new knot which may use more bag than you should. You'll want to clean the slider too. It's a bit top heavy when empty. I do like mine and bought one for each of my sisters. My friend uses small covered wastebins from IKEA and doubles two grocery plastic bags in each of them. The outer bag holds the scoop and the inner is lightly tied until it is full and then both are tossed. With her method, it may still be knocked over and the odor is very strong when you lift the lid. Otherwise you do not smell anything so that may be an alternative for dogs.

I have one cat and I change mine weekly. It is one long bag. There is a cutter on the inside of the can that you use to cut the bag when you're ready to change it. You just tie a knot to make the bottom of the new bag.

I put in a 20 pound bag of dog food, and have plenty of room left over. We also have cats, so I am familiar with how big a bag of cat food is, and I can't imagine a 15 pound bag of cat food filling up much more than half of the container. Quick note - we use grain free foods, so those may be denser and take up less room than other types of food.

The bag is very strong and the instructions say it will hold up to 40 lbs. 22 lbs should not be a problem. My dogs weigh a combined 16 lbs and the bag holds up fine with both of them in it; however, it is it bit cramped with both dogs inside the bag and I have never flown with them in one bag. You may want to do a test run, maybe a car trip, with both cats in the one bag before flying just to make sure they will fit comfortable for a long period of time.

Yes, I have a very large litter box (roughly 1.5' sguare x 8" deep) and 2 cats that fit plus blankets to soften the ride.

It states in the description that it will accommodate up to 18lbs. I have a large cat 15 lb and he does very well on this

A 15 lb. bag did not quite fill the container. I would say 40 lbs. would require a larger container.

Hi, I respectfully disagree that this particular model is large enough for an 18 lb. cat. I mentioned in my review that I had a previous (much larger) tunnel and when I ordered this one I didn't think about the diameter of it. My 12 pound kitty wants so badly to play in it but is just too big. I would go up to a larger size (depending on the size of your cat). Hope this helps. Good luck!
