Can Dogs Have Catnip? Everything You Need to Know

Have you ever offered catnip to your cat, only to have your dog lick it right up? Or maybe you’re wondering whether you can make your pup go wild the way a cat does when high on catnip. Either way, you may be wondering: is catnip okay for dogs?

In this article, we’ll discuss whether dogs can eat catnip, what happens to a dog that has catnip, and some alternatives to catnip for dogs.
