Matatabi Silvervine Dental Stick for Cats

Matatabi Silvervine Dental Sticks for Cats

100% Natural Silvervine (Matatabi) | 6 Sticks per Pack | No Preservatives or Additives | Non-Addictive

A natural cat chew stick harvested from the Silvervine plant (Matatabi) - native to the mountainous jungles of East Asia. Unlike traditional catnip which has one cat attractant, Matatabi has two, making it twice as potent and irresistible to cats.

As they chew, the stick naturally scrapes plaque and tartar from teeth.

80% of cats can also feel a euphoric effect - the rolling, face-rubbing, chirping, and blissed-out flopping you see isn't just play behavior. It's a real neurochemical response. Your cat is genuinely experiencing something pleasurable  - not in a harmful or addictive way, but in the same way that a good stretch or a sunny nap feels good.

It is a natural cat herb from East Asia that triggers a safe, temporary euphoric response by activating cats' opioid receptors. Approximately 80 percent of cats respond to it, including most cats that show no response to catnip at all. It is non-toxic, non-addictive

Benefits

• Relieves stress & anxiety - when smelled, acts as a stimulant; when eaten, acts as a calming sedative
• Supports digestion - acts as a carminative, helping to relieve constipation, flatulence, and intestinal inflammation
• 2x more potent than regular catnip - contains two cat attractants vs catnip's one
• Non-addictive & non-toxic - the natural response wears off in ~30 minutes; safe even if swallowed
• No preservatives, additives, or artificial ingredients

When to Use

• Daily dental maintenance - let your cat chew to naturally clean teeth

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Matatabi addictive? No - research shows it is not addictive. The response typically lasts around 30 minutes and then wears off naturally.

Is it safe if my cat swallows pieces? Yes - Matatabi is non-toxic and safe to ingest. Always supervise during chewing sessions.

How is it different from regular catnip? Regular catnip contains one cat attractant (nepetalactone). Matatabi contains two (actinidine and dihydronepetalactone), making it effective on cats that don't respond to regular catnip.

How often can I give it? A few times per week is ideal for dental benefits. Daily use is safe also.
