Product Information
Full details
The Trixie Vico Open Top Litter Tray is designed for cat owners seeking a convenient and odor-controlled solution for their feline companions. Its primary benefit lies in the hinged front and lift-up transparent section, making cleaning exceptionally easy. A potential caveat is that it's an open-top design, which might not suit all cats or owner preferences regarding odor containment or litter scatter. Key features include odor neutralization via an activated carbon filter, secure easy-click clasps, and a portable carry handle.

Is this tray suitable for large cat breeds?

Troubleshooting
Litter scatter outside the tray
Place a litter-trapping mat in front of the tray. Consider using a litter with larger granules or a different type of litter. Ensure the tray is not overfilled.
Difficulty opening/closing the hinged front
Ensure no litter or debris is obstructing the hinge. Check that the easy-click clasps are fully disengaged before attempting to open the front.
Odor control is insufficient
Replace the activated carbon filter more frequently. Ensure the filter is correctly installed. Use a high-quality odor-absorbing litter. Clean the tray more often and consider a deeper clean.
My cat is hesitant to use the tray
Ensure the tray is clean and has fresh litter. Try placing a familiar scent or a small amount of used litter in the new tray. Some cats prefer covered trays, so this open design might be a factor.
