MataTabi: Premium Silvervine & Seaweed Herbal Treat for Cats

Discover the ultimate sensory experience with MataTabi, DankNips’ signature premium silvervine (Actinidia polygama) leaf treat. As the first to bring dried silvervine leaf to the Australasian market, DankNips offers this powerful herb as a superior alternative to traditional catnip. Unlike catnip which has one single active compound (nepetalactone), silvervine contains a chemically complex blend of active attractants (including nepetalactol and actinidine). This creates a powerful dual-effect that has been scientifically proven to be preferred by cats under free-choice conditions. Enhanced with a nutritious sprinkling of organic seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) to support systemic dental health, MataTabi is developed to provide vital environmental enrichment for domestic cats. Proven superior to catnip, safe, beneficial and non-addictive!

Benefits of MataTabi

Superior Potency & Attraction: Silver vine (matatabi) is more potent than catnip and is scientifically proven to affect up to 80% of cats, including nearly 75% of those who do not appear to respond to traditional catnip.

Environmental Enrichment: This herbal treat is specially designed to satisfy your cat’s natural olfactory and sensory instincts, preventing boredom and supporting an active, fulfilled indoor lifestyle.

Stress Relief & Play: Induces a state of energetic play or a blissful relaxation felines, releasing natural beta-endorphins via the brain’s μ-opioid system.

Passive Dental Care: The added sprinkling of organic seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) works from the inside out to naturally reduce plaque and tartar buildup.

Strengthens Bonds: Sharing a MataTabi “session” through interactive play or grooming helps deepen the emotional connection between you and your pet.
