You’ve probably heard of catnip before. And if you’ve ever tried it on your feline friend, you might have seen her go crazy for the stuff. But what exactly is catnip? And more importantly, is it safe for your pet?
Catnip is an herb, closely related to other common herbs like mint and basil. It grows in the wild all across North America and in many parts of the world. In pet stores, you’ll find a dried and processed version, often called “raw” catnip, and you can also find toys, sprays, and other products infused with catnip. And it’s perfectly safe—it causes a chemical reaction in your cat’s brain but it’s perfectly harmless, and your pet can’t get addicted or overdose. The effects wear off after only a few moments, so don’t hesitate to give your pet catnip as often as you’d like.
