Is there a specific type of litter to avoid with Litter Maid?

When using Litter Maid automated litter boxes, it is important to select the right type of litter for optimal performance. Litter Maid typically recommends avoiding clumping litters that contain sodium bentonite clay, as these can clog the system and interfere with the litter box's functionality. Additionally, litters that are overly dusty or have very large granules may cause issues with the rake mechanism. Instead, crystal or non-clumping litters that are specifically designed for automatic litter boxes tend to work best. These litters usually provide excellent odor control and absorb moisture effectively without creating clumps that could get stuck in the rake. For the most accurate and up-to-date information on recommended litter types, it is advisable to check the official Litter Maid website or product instructions, as they may provide specific guidance tailored to different models.
