I was curious if anyone knows if catnip is safe for chins. I'm currently growing catnip for my cats and myself, and was wondering if the chins can have some too, once dried out of course. The catnip is organic and grown from seeds I planted, so no chemicals on it ever.
 
Its in Essentials for Life, so it must have medicinal properties, you might PM Tanya to see if it can be given as a treat and how much and often.
 
I would imagine it's safe, after all it is just a type of mint which is safe in small quantities and good for appetite and digestion. Many herbs are beneficial, Raspberry and black currant leaves are helpful for soft stools for example.
