Natural BUDZ format ORDER  NOW

 Product Codes K1,K1R,K18,K454BUDS,K454EL 

Kooky Kat Catnip first introduced the catnip budz to an Ontario market in 1990. Since that initial introduction this product has gained a reputation as an extremely aromatic product with an appealing natural look. The budz are the fresh whole cut flowering tops from the catnip plant, (Nepeta cataria). The budz are picked at the height of potency, and then specially cured using traditional drying shed techniques to preserve the maximum amount of the herb's aroma. Only a small pinch of this product is enough to make cats respond profoundly.
Benefits to the consumers: Safe potent catnip product with a unique and appealing natural appearance.
Benefits to retailers: An opportunity to introduce to their customers a catnip product unlike any other run of the mill mulched variant. The catnip budz are very aromatic, and visually enticing. Consumers will be drawn to this item, and will wish to try it out. Benefits to distributors and manufacturers: Budz provide to the industry a catnip product, which has the most unique and appealing appearance. If used within a catnip toy, this catnip will provide a very strong aroma for the toy. Packaging concerns: In order to minimize the crush hazard associated with the catnip budz product, packaging this item with clear base tubs, or see through tubes is recommended. Traditional polybags provide little protection from the crushing which happens with this product by curious consumers.

Stalkless 'Kitty Safe' format  ORDER  NOW

Product Codes K228,K256,K18,K454ST

Catnip that is milled with standard mess sizes of 4.0-8.0 mm often contains small hard pieces of stalk material. These stalk pieces could potentially lodge within the trachea or throat of a cat if the catnip is consumed internally. Most cats, which are given catnip, will both eat and inhale biomass. Consumers have often inquired if a finer grind catnip is available, which contains much less stalk material. The solution was to create a stalkless format catnip by grind the regular leaf and flower catnip into a finer mulch. The result is the stalkless 'kitty safe' format.
Benefits to the consumers: Safe certified organic product, which has very little stalk material. The product retains a unique and very green appearance.  Benefits to retailers: An opportunity to introduce to their customers a catnip product, which is a very safe alternative to the regular grind leaf and flower format. Consumers who are concerned about the stalk chunks will find this product to be a complete solution. Benefits to distributors and manufacturers: Provide to the industry a product, which promotes a safe alternative to the regular leaf and flower grind. The manufacture of this product is cheaper than the regular grind formats, and we also maximize our production yields.
