Having a litter box in the home is a convenient method for handling pet feces and urine without having to expose them to the risks of the outdoors. That said, not all litter boxes are equal to one another, not least because the choice of litter can have enormous impact on the results. In particular, if you are searching for litter to use with your litter box, consider getting walnut shell litter rather than what you are already using.

Consider these benefits of using walnut shell litter:

•First, Flowspec litter made using walnut shells is 100 percent natural, making it safe for use under a wider range of circumstances than litter made using more hazardous materials.

•Second, walnut shell litter has been ground to produce a uniform size, thus ensuring that dust cannot enter the air of the living environment. This is of critical importance for the continuing health of both the pet and the homeowner.

•Furthermore, Flowspec litter does not absorb the moisture that can be found in pet feces and urine, thus further reducing the chance of contamination via stated sources. It helps that the natural characteristics of walnut shells also serve to minimize the number of bacteria and other potentially harmful microorganisms.

•Walnut shell litter is practical to use for a number of animal species. For example, it is lighter than sand and a number of other materials that see common use in litter. Combined with its refusal to cling and clump to other materials, this makes it that much easier to clean out and then compost on a regular basis.

•At the same time, Flowspec litter is both gentle and loose, making it well-suited for creating a comfortable living environment for pets, particularly when said animals come from desert environments.

•Given these benefits, it should come as no surprise to learn that walnut shell litter is compatible with numerous animal species. Examples include but are not limited to cats, birds, snakes, lizards, and other reptiles.

Myth: Walnut shell kitty litter is toxic.

Fact: Black walnut and English walnut shells are toxic, while other walnut shells are not. Black walnut and English walnut produce a chemical known as Juglone which can be toxic if ingested. For that reason, we do not recommend the use of Black or English walnut in the production of kitty litter.

Myth: Walnut shell kitty litter is dusty and will track all over the house.

Fact: Clay litters throw off silica dust with ease. However, walnut shell kitty litters are dust free and their hard and firm texture makes it virtually impossible for them to generate dust. It also makes it very difficult for the kitty litter to stick to a pet’s paws, which means it is highly unlikely that they’ll track it through the house.

Myth: Walnut based kitty litters don’t absorb moisture and odors.

Fact: When combined in the right formula, walnut based kitty litters are anywhere from 2 to 6 times better at controlling odor and moisture than their clay counterparts.

Myth: Walnut shells are not biodegradable or compostable.

Fact: Walnut shells are compostable and biodegradable if they are not placed within plastic bags and landfilled. Research has shown that landfilling both food and pet waste hinders the natural biodegradation process. However, if disposed of within a composter, walnut shell kitty litter is 100% biodegradable and a valuable source of nutrients within a garden.

Natural Kitty Litter-Walnut Shells



Walnut Shell Cat Litter

 

From Taipei to Toronto, cats have moved in to millions of homes where they run and play while homeowners work the days away. It's an easy life, but it's not free of basic biological needs for pet owners to take care of.

This means that when it's time to "do their business," cats need a place to go that's clean and won't leave nasty odors and harmful chemical byproducts in the wake of the litter box. When it comes to natural kitty litter, walnut shells make an ideal choice for the following reasons:

1. Walnut shells are non-toxic, and using them is effectively upcycling as they're the natural byproduct of walnut production.
2. Walnuts minimize bacteria and mold growth. 
3. Since walnut shells are a natural product that decomposes, they can be disposed of within the trash without being concerned that they will add to groundwater pollution.
4. Because they will not stick or cling, walnut shells makes cleanup of everything from litter boxes to pet cages a lot simpler and a lot less messy.
5. Walnut shell based natural kitty litter is up to 200% more absorbent than traditional clay litters. This not only means longer times between litter box cleanings, it also means that you will use less kitty litter at a time than comparable alternatives. 

Of course, the applications for natural kitty litter go beyond lining the litter box. Crushed walnut shells can also be used within bird cages and lizard cages. Because it is not made of sand, it is 100% dust free which helps keep pets from developing respiratory problems. It is also lighter than traditional base material, and with it's loose texture it provides snakes and lizards something they can dig through to keep themselves fit and healthy.

When everything is said and done, walnut shells are an ideal natural kitty litter that won't harm the environment and can reduce the overall amount of kitty litter homeowners need to supply for their pets. That is why we invite you to contact Flowspec to learn more about using walnut shells in the production of kitty litter and other household products.
