With good storage, like in a cool dark place with a package with airtight seal, your bulk catnip will keep fresh and powerful for a good long time. The simplicity of being able to order once instead of repeatedly will make it more convenient as well as save on unnecessary shipping charges. That adds up over the course of time!

Uses for Bulk Catnip

One of the best uses for bulk catnip is to donate it to your local vet or a pet shelter in the area. Both of these organizations have need of mollifying large numbers of felines who have reason to be rather cranky, so you can do a good charitable deed by helping these groups who give so much of themselves to help the animal and human communities. It would be just a little thing to do but a big worthwhile deal to them. Give a little back to those in service to animal kind.

On a less humanitarian scale you can use bulk catnip for making your own catnip cat toys. It's a simple task, to be sure, since the main concern is to have a vehicle to contain the catnip long enough for the cats to get to it. At the simple side of the spectrum are catnip filled cloth bags, and the complexity scales up from there. Might be an interesting side business idea.

If you are enterprising and can extract the catnip oil, then bulk catnip would be a good source of catnip sprays that can be used to freshen up your cat's toys but also keep in mind you could leverage catnip oil's insect repellent properties in the bargain. It's sure to be cheaper than DEET!

Dangers of Bulk Catnip

Well, you probably wouldn't want to be the mailman tasked with delivering you package of bulk catnip! If it's not well packaged, he could be mauled by legions of neighborhood cats in the process of simply trying to do his job and get you your package by the appointed time.

Once your package has been delivered safely, you will want to make sure you secure it well. Catnip should be kept in a dark and cool place. Ideally you would use an airtight container and place it in the freezer, or at least somewhere cool, and somewhere it will be safe from feline detection and thievery.

Good, high quality bulk catnip is very important. It wouldn't be good to find that instead of quality catnip you have a baggy full of stems, seeds, and leaves. They're not good for kitty digestion so you'll want to avoid this. A good supplier will sift the wheat from the chaff, making sure that the resulting bulk catnip is dried and sifted cautiously so as to provide only the most potent catnip. Don't buy stems and stalks!

Summary

If you want a good way to take care of all your catnip needs in a simple, convenient, and economical package, bulk catnip is the way to go. From there you can fulfill your and your cats' catnip needs.
