Hooded litter boxes keep odors down, thumbs up from pet owners because the surrounding smells less, but thumbs down from cats, because the litter box stinks inside as the unpleasant smell is trapped inside.

My Experience With Petmate Open Litter Pan:

I ordered Petmate Open Litter Pan for my kitty who weighs 9lbs. The dimensions of the box are 25.6 x 18.3 x 10 inches; 2.2 pounds and can hold over 30 lbs. Of litter. The unit gives her enough space to turn around, stretch, and maintain her posture during elimination. She shows no signs of hesitation before entering the box, in fact, she loves the pan due to its easy access and an open top.

However, there are some problems that I have to face. The kitty sometimes drags litter out (just a few litter). I have to scoop the litter pan on regular basis otherwise it starts smelling bad. As there’s no covering, so you have to keep it out of reach of small kids or babies.

*When my kitty hops out, she does track a small amount of litter that is now caught by a scrap piece of carpet I placed underneath. You can try the same easy fix with yours too 😉

Final Verdict:

The Petmate Open Litter Pan provides a great solution for large or multiple felines. It’s extensive size and high dividers contain waste and prevent scatter. If you can regularly scoop the litter pan, and keep small kids out of range, the Petmate Open Litter Pan is the best open cat box out there.
