Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

In fact, it’s about four inches longer and two inches wider than the Nature’s Miracle high-sided box
he Petmate Giant is a huge pan that is perfect for larger cats. The pan provides a spacious room for large cats to move around in and the sides are high enough so litter does not go everywhere.

What reviewers didn't like

But the lower sides make it easier for messes to spread, the higher entry is harder for less-agile cats to get in, and it was just a little harder to keep clean.
If your cat has the habit of digging litter and dragging it out, some litter may scatter on the floor.
