It is not recycled material and is therefore free of any harmful substances and therefore absolutely non-toxic. CareFresh is extremely absorbent, dust-free and immediately binds odours like no other bedding. It is 100% edible and therefore completely harmless should your rodent, bird or reptile eat from it. Only with turtles CareFresh should not be used due to the differentiated digestion for reasons of caution. CareFresh does not contain any other additives or fragrances that are partly used in other bedding products. Although fragrances or oils give off a pleasant smell, they can be harmful to your pet and can easily cause allergies. CareFresh is therefore also ideal for sensitive pets that are prone to allergies.
