Bioline Catnip Dental Sticks are made from the premium main vine of the silvervine plant (Actinidia polygama) — a natural, non-toxic alternative to catnip that is widely considered more potent and effective, especially for cats that do not respond to regular catnip. Studies show that nearly 80% of domestic cats respond to silvervine, compared to around 65% for catnip, making these sticks an excellent enrichment tool for a wider range of cats.
The natural chewing action of biting and gnawing on the stick helps remove plaque and tartar from your cat's teeth, massage the gums, and freshen breath — providing genuine dental hygiene benefits while your cat plays and relaxes. The silvervine scent stimulates cats' sensory receptors through two active compounds, triggering playful, rolling, and rubbing behaviour followed by a period of calm relaxation — making these sticks both a dental care tool and a stress-relief aid in one.
Give one stick to your cat and allow them to chew, rub, and play under supervision. Replace when the stick becomes too worn or splintered. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to preserve potency. Safe and non-toxic — suitable for cats of all ages from 8 weeks. Use occasionally to maintain effectiveness and prevent desensitisation. Available in a pack of 5 sticks (10 g).
