Naturally absorbent and odorless, shredded aspen contains no aromatic phenols and is an excellent soft bedding and litter for small animals. The unique texture encourages your pet’s natural desire to nest and burrow, while natural absorbency helps keep cages clean and prevents odors. Shavings in Sunseed Shredded Aspen Bedding go through a special multi-step screening process to remove fine dust that could be harmful to your pet's respiratory system, making it safe for both your pet and your home.
