catnip toy mistakenly given to the dog

[supersuezy24]

My mam bought a toy for the dog which is actually a catnip toy. Is catnip harmful to dogs as we can't seem to get the toy back off him.

lol, its perfectly safe :-)

Though dogs prefer anise, it's their catnip.

Thanks boo.
Seems to like the toy which is a mouse teddy more than his others.

My dog has completely destroyed every catnip toy I've ever bought for my cats - he's a big bully :)

[supersuezy24]

They must be well liked then Karen :)

Nah, he just chews anything - I keep finding soggy socks on the floor :)

I doubt it is harmful. Kitty cannabis I call it.
