The active ingredient in catnip, nepetalactone, is chemically similar to hallucinogens. Not all cats are affected by catnip but for those that do respond, it causes them to lick at the catnip, roll around, meow and act totally silly. It is thought to cause no harm or addiction. Dogs are not able to “respond” to catnip as do cats. The herb is harmless when ingested. It is possible that some pets may have vomiting from eating too much of it as they would with eating any plant or herb. Also, make sure your dog is not eating a toy that contains catnip. from http://www.petplace.com/dogs/catnip-and-puppies/page1.aspx As far as herbal wormers go, I don't think they work very well, just make the dog sick...same as the natural wormers for people do. The infestation is lessened but still there and tapeworms are the hardest to get rid of. Even the OTC drugs don't work on those. http://www.naturalhealthtechniques.com/Veterinary_Stuff/holistic_pet_tips.htm Catnip is an herb related to the mint family (Nepetia cataria).
