Top 10 High Sided Litter Boxs
for December 2023

We were particularly impressed with the large, open-top design of this litter pan. It's spacious enough for multiple cats, and deep enough that cats don't have to stoop over. The sloped sides also allow cats to enter and exit easily, and the large door makes scooping a breeze. The pan is also easy to clean, though it's a bit heavy, which makes it difficult to move. The pan is quite expensive, but it's made in the United States and comes with a 5-year warranty, which is longer than a lot of cat litter pans.

The Yangbaga litter pan is made of high quality stainless steel, with a smooth, non stick surface, and it's much sturdier and more durable than plastic. In addition, it has high sides, so it's well suited for cats that like to burrow, and since it's made of stainless steel, it will never rust. It's easy to clean, too, since everything just slides right off. The pan's high sides also make it odor free, so your cat's litter will smell fresh and clean, rather than like old, dirty plastic. The litter pan's high sides also make it more sturdy than plastic, so it's less likely to tip over and spill litter, and it's less likely to get scratched or dented by claws. And unlike plastic, it's also very easy to keep clean, since everything just slides right off.

The PAW TRAX Litter Box is a well-designed, attractive litter box that features a raised side wall that keeps litter and spray inside the box. The sidewalls are high enough to prevent litter from escaping out the front, but low enough that cats can still climb in and out without getting their feet wet. The sides are made out of 18-gauge vinyl, which provides good protection against scratches and abrasions. The sides are also fairly thick, so the box is sturdy and won't collapse under the weight of a cat. The top of the base is lined with a soft, plush sherpa fabric, which absorbs urine and smells. The box is 14.5" high, 19" long, and 14.5" wide, and it's equipped with a high-sided entry ramp, so cats can enter the box without soiling their feet. The entry ramp is 1.5" high, so cats can still get in and out of the box without needing to step on the litter. The ramp is made out of the same 18-gauge vinyl as the side walls, so it's sturdy and scratch-resistant. The entry ramp is also lined with sherpa fabric, so it's comfortable for cats to walk on. The ramp exits the box at a 45 degree angle, so it's easy to step on when exiting the box. The ramp is covered with the same 18-gauge vinyl as the side walls, so it's scratch-resistant. The litter box also comes with a lid, which is 4" high and 6" wide. The lid is made out of the same 18-gauge vinyl as the side walls, so it's scratch-resistant. The lid is also lined with sherpa fabric, so it's comfortable for cats to walk on. The lid slides back easily, so it's easy to open or close. The lid is made out of the same 18-gauge vinyl as the side walls, so it's scratch-resistant. The PAW TRAX Litter Box comes with a scoop, a brush, and a bag. The scoop is made out of rubber, and it's 7" long. The brush is made out of rubber and it's 4" long. The bag is made out of 18-gauge vinyl and it's 14" long. The scoop, brush, and bag are collapsible, so they're easy to store in the box. The PAW TRAX Litter Box is made of durable, scratch-resistant materials, so it's suitable for cats up to 17.

The So Phresh litter box is extremely well built and, thanks to its elevated sides, it has superior litter scatter control. It's one of the best litter boxes we've tested, and it easily beats the competition in a host of areas, including:
* Performance: The So Phresh has impressive throughput, which is always an important consideration in a litter box. It's also extremely quiet, so it's less disruptive for you and your pet.
* Design: The So Phresh's elevated sides help keep litter scatter and spray contained, and the box has a wide, low entry ledge that's easy for your pet to access.
* Convenience: This litter box is large, so it's suitable for multiple cats, and it has easy-to-reach litter scoop-out ports, so you can easily clean the box without getting hands dirty.
* Value: The So Phresh has some of the best build quality of any litter box we tested, and it's available in five colors. The only real downside to this litter box is that it's a bit more expensive than the competition. However, it's worth noting that So Phresh is one of the few litter manufacturers that is owned by a pet food company, so it's likely to get better customer support (and more inventory) than other brands.

The So Phresh Scatter Shield High-Back Litter Box is a good choice for cats and owners with more than one cat. This litter box is large enough for cats and kittens of all sizes, and it has an easy-to-step-in front entrance that minimizes litter scatter. The box comes with a plastic scoop, and it's easy to assemble. The litter tray has a good capacity, and it's easy to clean. The teal color is gender-neutral, and the box is unobtrusive, so it's a good choice for homes with pets and kids. A NOTE ABOUT OUR GUIDE: We update our recommendations regularly, but some information may quickly become outdated. Please check product specifications before making a purchase.

The So Phresh Taupe Scatter Shield High-Back Litter Box is a terrific choice for large cats and multi-cat households. This model's 24 by 18-inch footprint is smaller than many other models, but it's large enough to accommodate multiple cats. The storage bins are deep, so it's easy to scoop litter, and the litter pan is generously sized, so you don't need to add more litter than needed. The sides of the litter pan slope inward, so litter doesn't spill out unless you open the door, and that, along with the lid's splash guard, helps to contain litter scatter. The box also comes with a replaceable carbon filter, which you can buy separately, to remove pet odor. The downsides: The litter pan is a little difficult to clean, and the lid's splash guard needs a little more padding. The plastic liner that holds the litter is thin, so it won't hold litter as well as models made with thicker plastic.

The Petmate Top Entry Litter Pan is a well-designed, well-made litter pan that excels at collecting litter from cats' paws. The tall, narrow shape allows cats to dig litter into the bottom without spilling it, and the top grate collects litter as the cats exit the pan. Since cats often paw at their litter to flush out waste, the grate helps prevent litter from flying out and attracting other animals. The pan's tall, narrow shape also helps prevent litter from clumping, a common problem with litter pans. The pan has a metal, ribbed exterior and a plastic interior, and is easy to clean: just rinse with soap and water, or wipe with a damp sponge. The pan has a hook for holding a scoop, and a removable, dishwasher-safe base. The pan is tall enough to stand on its own, so you won't need to prop it against a wall. The Petmate Top Entry Litter Pan has a clear, simple label that lists everything the pan does and what's in it. The pan isn't as sturdy as our previous pick, the Petmate Pet Loo, but it's a good litter pan for cats and kittens.

The PetFusion BetterBox Large Litter Box is a spacious, easy-to-use litter pan with very high sides. The pan is easy to clean, and the non-stick coating makes cleanups easier. The lid is removable, so it's easy to remove and replace the litter. The box's high sides also keep litter from falling out, and the rounded corners prevent litter from piling up on the corners. The box is very large, so it can accommodate multiple cats, or multiple litter pans. The BetterBox Large Litter Box is very sturdy, too, and can hold up to 50 lbs. The BetterBox is easy to clean, and it catches litter clumps better than our previous pick, the Design Pet Easy Clean Litter Box. The BetterBox is also less expensive than our previous pick, and it's usually in stock, making it a better choice for budget-conscious buyers.

The Modkat Litter Tray is a high-quality, durable litter tray that has a reasonable price tag. It has an 8-inch-deep base, so side-peeing cats won't crash into the sides, and it also has a splash guard that keeps litter within the tray instead of tracking it around the floor. The walk-off platform keeps litter from clogging the drain, and both features are convenient and easy to use. The Modkat Litter Tray is well-made and easy to clean, and it has an attractive look. The tray is 17 inches wide, so it fits easily in most cats' litter boxes, and it isn't overly tall, so it won't obstruct your cat's view. The Modkat Litter Tray has a supportive, thick plastic shell, and it feels sturdy. It has a scoop that slides in and out easily, and it has a cover that snaps on and off. The Modkat Litter Tray is lightweight, so it's easy to pick up and move. The Modkat Litter Tray is easy to put together, and it comes with all the parts and pieces you'll need, including a snap-on liner. The Modkat Litter Tray is tall enough that it will fit on most litter boxes, but it's versatile enough that it can fit on just about any litter box, whether it's round, rectangular, or oval. The Modkat Litter Tray is available in two colors: Charcoal Grey and Silver. The Charcoal Grey is an attractive, classy color, and the Silver is striking. The Modkat Litter Tray is reasonably priced, and it has a 3-year warranty, so it's a good investment.

The So Phresh Navy Scatter Shield High-Back Litter Box wasn't just a good buy, it was the best buy among litter boxes we tried. The So Phresh was easily the biggest, strongest, and sturdiest litter box we tested. The entrance holes were large enough for our large cat to enter but small enough to discourage her from getting in and out too often. The box was relatively easy to clean, and the charcoal filter did a good job of absorbing odors. The So Phresh also withstood our 2-year test, which is double the warranty period for most litter boxes and almost twice as long as the warranty for our previous pick. The only drawback was that we found it difficult to remove the charcoal filter from the box, and the filter was hard to put back in place.
