KONG Naturals Premium Catnip

KONG Naturals Premium Catnip is harvested from North American growing regions that produce the highest-potency catnip available in the consumer market, with essential oil concentrations that consistently trigger the euphoric behavioral responses — rolling, rubbing, vocalizing, and playful activity — that catnip-responsive cats seek. Approximately 50-65% of domestic cats inherit the gene that produces catnip sensitivity, and for those cats, high-potency catnip like KONG Naturals creates a safe, entirely natural enrichment experience with no lasting effects and no risk of dependency. The catnip is harvested at peak potency when the flowering tops contain maximum nepetalactone concentration — the specific compound responsible for the catnip response — then dried and processed at low temperatures that preserve essential oil content. Lower-quality catnips often use lower-grade stems and leaves that contain less nepetalactone, producing weaker responses or no response at all. The resealable, airtight container preserves potency between uses — essential for maintaining effectiveness, as catnip’s essential oils dissipate rapidly when exposed to air. Stored properly, KONG Naturals Catnip maintains peak potency for up to six months after opening. The catnip can be sprinkled on toys and scratchers to attract cat interest, stuffed into KONG toys for enrichment feeding, or used directly on the floor for free-play sessions. Certified organic and free from pesticides, herbicides, and preservatives. A generous fill quantity provides many sessions of enrichment for regular users.
