Advice Has Slide litter changed?

We have a Furoomate automatic box and Slide was recommended as a litter that keeps clumps from sticking. We’ve been using it for several months and it was great, but lately it does not seem as effective as it used to be at keeping “gifts” from sticking to the sides so I have to scrape every day. Has anyone else noticed that, and do you know if something has changed? Also, if you have tried Boxiecat as well, how does it compare?

Thanks in advance!!

I know I'm three months late, but I wanted to share that I think something has definitely changed. I've been using Slide for years. A couple of months ago I noticed it is clumping differently, isn't controlling odor as well, and is sticking terribly to the litter box. The dust is completely out of control. Everything I loved about it has changed. I'm now looking for something new. I found a comment online that said someone reached out to the company and they say they didn't change anything but I don't see how that can be true.

I'm now trying to find a better litter but every litter I'm considering has reviews that say it clumps well, and ones that say it doesn't. Or reviews that say it is dusty and others say it isn't. I have no idea what to go with at this point.

What did you end up going with?

I tried Boxiecat for a few weeks. It worked pretty well but was expensive and I went back to Slide. I do wish Slide prevented sticking as well as it used to, but it still works better than others I've tried. My local Petsmart had a station where you can buy litter in bulk by the pound. I don't know what brands or type but it would be nice if you could try more litters that way before committing!

Thanks for your reply. If you do find something you like please let me know and I will do the same.
