Concerned about lavender in cat products? The small amount of dried lavender in our catnip blends is safe. We use less than 2% lavender in each blend. That means if you give your cat 1/8 cup of our blend, there's less than a pinch of lavender. We use dried lavender, not oils. Oils are much stronger and can hurt cats. Our dried lavender is gentle and may help cats feel calm and relaxed.
