These dried catnip flowers are the most potent form of catnip, period. Nepetalactone is the natural chemical in catnip that make cats goofy and help them relax. The Nepetalactone is contained in the essential oil of the catnip plant. The flower portion of the plant holds the highest concentration of essential oil. There is less nepetalactone in the leaves. Buds are not easy to come by. They must be hand-harvested and delicately trimmed and packaged to remain intact. They must be harvested at the peak of freshness and are a seasonal product. Get them while you can!
How to use our catnip: we recommend that you keep your catnip stored in it's airtight bag, in the fridge or freezer for maximum length of potency. All your cat needs is a PINCH in between your finger and thumb! Yup, that's all! Just rub your fingers together to release all the oils stored in the catnip. You can either just drop the catnip on the ground, put it in or on a toy, or if you want to correct some unwelcome behaviors (such as stopping some furniture scratching) put that magical little pinch of stinky goodness onto a scratching post right next to your furniture and...voila! The attraction begins and bad behaviors will cease! Cats do NOT respond well to negative enforcement- they just think you are being mean and scary- but give them something they like and they respond just the way you want!
