if these arent safe then would you know any that are safe and not too expensive from petsmart

Those look fine to use, as long as the liter box isn't plasic. A lot of people use glass cooking dishes as liter boxes.

You can also get pine bedding at walmart for cheap in huge bags, if you want to look there!

If you have any local feed stores they also sell kiln dry pine shavings.

but the first one says its has a evergreen smell...would that still be safe? and the second one doesnt state if it kiln dried

Hmm.. they both say they have ever green smell to them, but I'm not sure what that is. Maybe it's just the smell of the bedding itself? They look fine otherwise, besides the one not being kiln dried, but I don't see much of a problem with that either

Premier Pet is kiln dried. If you click on the first link, it says this in the details:

"Kiln-dried to reduce bacteria"

The evergreen smell they refer to is it's natural smell, not an added one.

Granted, I haven't checked Walmart's bedding in a few years, but the large bags of pine shavings they used to carry were NOT kiln dried. Make sure anything you are buying from Walmart specifically says Kiln Dried somewhere on that bag...

I got a big bag from walmart a couple of weeks ago, they sold PetsPick pine bedding and its kiln dried-also had zero smell.

Way cool. Glad to see they are finally selling something decent.

 

[jess32247]

I got Petspick bedding and made sure it was kiln dried. Now if they could work on getting more decent stuff, it won't be so tiring going there.

i get aspen bedding from Walmart.
i believe it absorbs better than kiln dried pine.

The first one is the bedding I've used since I can remember. I always buy the one thats shaven down more, it's softer, you'd be able to tell once you go there and see them. I also use just a glass dish to put the bedding in.
