• Purity: No artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

How It Works

Van Ness Fresh-Nip Organic Catnip works by releasing aromatic essential oils when the leaves are crushed, which stimulates your cat's receptors and triggers a burst of playful energy. Most cats become excited, roll around, or play more intensely when exposed to the scent. This effect is temporary, lasting about 10-15 minutes, after which cats become temporarily immune until the scent fades or fresh catnip is introduced.

Directions for Use

• Release Aroma: Gently crush the catnip between your fingers to release the essential oils before sprinkling on toys or scratching posts.
• Use in Play Areas: Spread a pinch on your cat’s favorite spots, toys, or bedding for playtime or to encourage activity.
• Maintain Freshness: Reseal the pouch after each use and store in a cool, dark place to preserve potency.
• For Kittens: Typically, kittens respond to catnip after 6-9 months of age.

Side Effects of Van Ness Fresh-Nip Organic Catnip

• Common Reactions: Cats may experience short periods of hyperactivity, followed by calmness or drowsiness.
• Temporary Loss of Interest: Overuse may result in temporary disinterest in catnip until it is refreshed.

Precautions

• Moderation: Avoid overexposure. Too much catnip at once may cause lethargy in some cats.
• Monitor for Sensitivity: First-time users should be supervised to ensure a positive reaction.

Warnings

• Not for Human Consumption: Intended for feline use only.
• Keep Away from Infants: Store out of reach of young children.

Contraindications

There are no known contraindications. However, if your cat has a medical condition, consult your vet before introducing catnip.

Storage

Store the catnip in a resealable pouch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This preserves the potency of the essential oils and extends the freshness of the product
