Oxbow Eco-Straw Pelleted Litter earns a top spot because its compressed straw formula combines very low dust and a softer texture ideal for nibbling small animals, giving it a technical edge over harder wood pellets. While it can cost more per bag than basic wood pellets, its high absorbency and slower breakdown often mean fewer full changes and lower overall running costs for owners prioritizing animal comfort and biodegradability. Compared with the wood-based options in this list, Oxbow trades some raw odor-control power for gentleness and compostable straw fiber benefits.
