WoodyPet Proffessional Animal bedding is agranulated, largely pine based litter. While most authoritiesagree pine does NOT present the difficulties associated with cedarshavings, WoodyPet has "cooked" the hydrocarbons out of the productuntil it is 99% inert and, thus, should not bethecause of any problem to pets.
It is used primarily as bedding for horses, therefore, due to thequantities it is used in that application, it is relatively inexpensiveat $4.99 US for 30 lb bag. WoodyPet also sells a 15lb bag,labeled as "litter" for pets. I've not yet seen it,nor do I know how it compares price-wise to the "bedding." Myguess is that it is exactly the same product, and might cost morebecause it is being sold to pet owners in smaller quantities than thepallet loads most horse owners would buy it in.
It's biodegradable, user friendly, and leaves no particular odor todeal with. I just remove the "used up" portion on a dailybasis and add anew to replenish. After soaking up the urine,if left long enough it dissipates into a heavy, dry, odorless powderheavy enough to NOT kick up dust-wise and present a respiratoryhazard. The point is that it need not be replaced upon adaily basis in my estimation, but I try to present our house buns withthe cleanliest of living conditions possible.
Anyway, getting back to original question, to the best of my knowledgepine does NOT present the same problems as cedar in any shape,form whatsoever. One has to remain vigilant andskeptical, though, as the "authorities" can and do makeerrors. If you, personally, have reason to question theefficacy of pine, by all means refrain from using it on your bun(s)
