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

FAQs - Van Ness Fresh-Nip Organic Catnip
What is so special about Van Ness Fresh-Nip Organic Catnip?
Van Ness Fresh-Nip is 100% organic, grown in the USA without chemicals or pesticides. Its fine texture releases potent essential oils that stimulate your cat’s playful instincts, offering both physical and mental benefits.
How often should I use catnip on my cat’s toys?
Catnip can be used as often as your cat's interest begins to fade. Refresh toys or scratching pads with a pinch of fresh catnip when your cat becomes less engaged.
Is it safe for my cat to eat catnip?
Yes, it is safe for cats to ingest small amounts of catnip. However, it is primarily intended for stimulating play, not as a dietary supplement.
Why isn’t my cat reacting to catnip?
Some cats, especially kittens under 6 months, do not respond to catnip. Up to 30% of cats are genetically non-reactive to catnip, but many cats develop a reaction as they age.
Can I use this catnip for kittens?
Kittens usually develop sensitivity to catnip between 6-9 months of age. It's safe for them to try catnip once they reach this stage.
How long does catnip last before it loses its potency?
Stored properly, catnip can stay fresh for several months. Once opened, the essential oils will fade over time. Keep the pouch resealed and in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness.
What happens if my cat consumes too much catnip?
If your cat eats large amounts of catnip, they may experience temporary lethargy or mild digestive upset. These effects are usually short-lived.
Can I use Van Ness Fresh-Nip for other pets?
While safe for dogs, catnip is most effective with cats. Other pets may not respond to it in the same way.

Signs of overexposure include lethargy, reduced interest in playing, or mild digestive discomfort. These effects are temporary and usually subside on their own.
