Product Information

How do I know what size bandana to order for my pet?

All of our bandanas come with three metal snaps that provide a 3 - 4 inch range.

It is best to take the time to measure your pet's neck size.
A simple way to do this is to measure a collar that already fits them. Then, I add one inch to the collar measurement. This is because collars tend to be tight against the neck, while we want the bandanas to have more space for comfort.
Take that number to our sizing guide on any product and see where your furbaby fits.

If you are still unsure, feel free to reach out via our Contact Page for sizing assistance. Over the years, Isiah and I have honed our ability to accurately size furbabies.

I am ordering for someone else and don't have their pet's neck size. What can I select the best fit?

There are a few things we can do!
First off, if you have a picture, or even a general description send it to us on our Contact Us Page or via Instagram. Over the years, we have really honed in our ability to accurately gauge which size would fit the best.
Otherwise, if you feel more comfortable, we do sell Digital Gift Cards.

How do I clean my bandana?

It is best to hand-wash the bandana with mild detergent. Then let the bandana hang dry. If there is some wrinkling, use an iron on low setting to gently go over the bandana. Make sure to avoid the tag and the metal snaps.

How do I clean my catnip playmat?

First up, remove the 2 drawstring pouches from inside the mat, and dump out the old catnip blend. Then you can simply toss the mat into your washer and dryer with like colors. Otherwise, you can hand-wash. Once dry, remember to refill the drawstring pouches with fresh catnip, and re-insert into the mat.

Do you make custom orders?

Currently, we do not offer custom designed accessories or toys.

If you are interested in wholesale items feel free to use the Contact Us Page to reach out to us, we would love to chat.

Catnip & Valerian Root Blend

What is difference between catnip and valerian root?

Did you know about 1/3 of the cats are not impacted by catnip! The ability to react to catnip has a genetic component. If your kitty does not respond to catnip, they will most likely respond to valerian root, which produces a similar reaction to that of catnip.

Where do you get your catnip blend?

We source our organic catnip - valerian root blend from a local farm in Washington State. There they grow the herbs, harvest, dry and mix our blend.

How long does the catnip blend last?

It depends on how it is stored. Keep the catnip in a cool and dry location. Our catnip jars are a great way to keep it fresh.

If you have one of our kicker toys, we have heard of many kitty customers playing and reacting to their toys well into a year.

If you are using our catnip playmat, we would recommend refreshing the catnip often, depending on how many cats you have an how frequently they are playing on it. This way, kitty always has the freshest and most potent catnip.

Long story short, our catnip blend lasts so long, because we get it straight from a local farm. Learn more about our blend.
