"After a stressful day at work, many people enjoy indulging in a large glass of their favourite wine. Now, if you have a cat or dog, your pet can join in on the plonk-fuelled relaxation. Muttley's Estate, a company based in Aotearoa, New Zealand, has unveiled a range of pet-friendly wines. Instead of alcohol, the wines - including Chapawgne, Purrno Noir, and Sauvignon Bark - contain catnip. This common herb is effective in relaxing cats as well as dogs, according to Muttley's Estate."
"'Catnip contains a compound called nepetalactone, which can trigger a response in cats, leading to euphoria or relaxation,' the company explains. 'This can help reduce stress and anxiety in cats, especially in situations like moving to a new home or visiting the veterinarian.' Meanwhile, dogs may experience a calming effect, as well as deep relaxation, appetite stimulation, and digestive aid."
"To create its wines, Muttley's Estate grows its own catnip, before combining the herb with water and preservatives. 'Crafted from the finest catnip harvested under the New Zealand sun, our catnip wine is a sensory masterpiece designed to enchant and captivate,' it explains on its website. 'Each sip unveils a symphony of flavours, a delicate dance of herbs and botanicals that evoke the essence of our land.'"
Muttley's Estate produces alcohol-free pet wines made from catnip, marketed for cats and dogs. The products are named playfully, such as Chapawgne, Purrno Noir, and Sauvignon Bark, and are offered in multiple varieties. Each 150ml bottle is priced at $12.99 NZD. Production involves growing the company’s own catnip and combining the herb with water and preservatives. Catnip contains nepetalactone, which can induce euphoria or relaxation in many cats and may reduce stress and anxiety. Dogs may experience calming effects, relaxation, appetite stimulation, and digestive support according to the product claims.
