I’ve heard it’s safe, but I’m curious if anyone has had any negative experiences with it. Also, can I give my dog catnip marketed for cats? I assume it’s fine, but I want to double-check for safety.
Yes! Not only is catnip safe for dogs, it is also good for them! Catnip contains vitamins C and E, magnesium, flavonoids (phytonutrients), tannins, and essential oils. Like cats, some dogs don’t respond to catnip but for the ones who do, catnip has the opposite effect that it has with cats.
Just remember, like anything, moderation is key. Start with a small amount and see how your dog reacts.
