Best Catnip Products for 2022

100% organically grown, this loose catnip is perfect for filling toys with or using in bags dotted around the house.

It really packs a punch, able to give out a really strong smell for a prolonged amount of time so you can get the most out of the tub. The size is very generous, which should mean it goes a long way, which is particularly important if you have several cats.

Users describe it as one of the most potent options, which is good if other brands just don’t seem to have been able to hit the spot.

Able to be stuffed inside your cats favourite toy to encourage playtime, or given to them to chew and have a calming effect, these leaves are designed to appeal to natural instincts while being completely natural.

It is highly potent, and can even bring the shyest cats out of their shell. From as early as eight weeks old, kittens can use catnip as part of their training and playtimes.

They can also use loose catnip to roll in before socialising, which will increase their appeal to other moggies, both indoor and outdoor.

A real benefit of catnip in oil spray form is that it creates a lot less mess and you have a bit more freedom in terms of where it goes.

It can reduce the potency, however, which is why we have picked the Kong brand as out number one catnip spray. It is still as potent as the loose-leaf stuff but gives you more freedom, for use on cat towers and scratching posts or on toys.

This could make it a great addition to a training programme when you are trying to stop them from scratching the sofa or carpets. A small bottle will last a lot longer than you’d imagine as only one spray is needed, and it won’t stink your room out either.

Catnip is edible in order to give a calming effect as opposed to hyperactive, and these little treats are the perfect way to subtly introduce the herb into your cat’s diet.

They’re grain-free, hypoallergenic and taste just like ordinary chicken treats, but with 0.5% catnip, there is just enough in there to have an effect without overdoing it, so the treats can be regular.

Up to six a day can be given, as part of a balanced diet, and they are soft and pliable so the perfect way to hide any medication while keeping them calm enough to properly digest it.

Your cat’s teeth aren’t the easiest part of their body to look after, so these catnip sticks will kill two birds with one stone and remove plaque while giving them a bit of an activity and brain boost.

These sticks are made from the dried stalks of the catnip plant, so are completely natural and ensure that no part of the plant has gone to waste in the process. They are designed to help your kitty floss and remove plaque and can be used from the age of six months so are a great way to start them off on healthcare from an early age.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that they are not as potent as the spray or loose forms, but in actual effect, they are just as strong and attractive.

The strong, aromatic scent of this loose catnip is irresistible, and it can be sprinkled on toys or scratchers to encourage playtime.

It is North American grown, like the most decent stuff around, and it comes in a nice small bag for easy storage.

A nice low price, perhaps for anyone who hasn’t used catnip before and wants to test the waters before plunging in.

This is a great size for refilling toys or sprinkling on sleeping or playing areas. It is 100% natural and suited to cats over 8 months of age. The bag will reseal tightly to keep it fresh, and it is easy to store somewhere cool and dry.
