Scrape a small amount of bark off the tip before giving it to her. This releases the silvervine compounds. Most cats who seem uninterested react immediately once the fresh wood is exposed. If she still doesn't respond within 14-28 days contact us for a full refund. No return needed. Keep the sticks.

Let your cat chew until both ends have frayed and softened into a brush-like tip — that is actually when the stick is working best and making the most contact with the gumline. Once both ends are fully worn down to a small nub, or if the stick starts to splinter or develop sharp edges, replace it with a fresh one. Most cats get several good sessions out of a single stick before that point. Every cat is different — aggressive chewers may go through one faster, while gentler chewers can get a few days out of a single stick. You will get a feel for your cat's pace quickly.

You can. But here is what we know about what's actually in some of those listings.There have been documented cases of silvervine sticks sold on Amazon containing synthetic compounds and undisclosed additives that have nothing to do with natural silvervine. Amazon has no control over who sells what on their platform. Any seller can list any product under any name with any ingredients without verification. There is no quality standard. No batch testing. No accountability for what is actually in the stick your cat is chewing for twenty minutes every day.WildChew sticks are 100% natural silvervine wood. Single ingredient. Nothing added. Nothing hidden. We know exactly what is in every stick because we source and test every batch ourselves.Your cat is going to chew this for twenty minutes a day every day. What it's actually made of matters.

Yes, especially for the first few sessions. While silvervine sticks are completely non-toxic and safe, aggressive chewing can occasionally cause small pieces to break off. Always keep an eye on your cat during chewing sessions and remove any fragments that break off. Once you know how your cat chews and how they respond, supervision can be lighter. If your cat is a very aggressive chewer, check the stick regularly during the session and take it away once it gets small enough to pose a risk.

Yes. Natural silvervine wood with no artificial additives or coatings. Small fibrous pieces pass through safely. Supervise for the first few sessions and remove the stick once it becomes very small.

Yes. Catnip works on one compound — nepetalactone. Silvervine contains eight active compounds including actinidine and dihydroactinidiolide. That is why it works on 80% of cats including the 30-50% who are genetically immune to catnip. If your cat has always ignored catnip, that tells you nothing about how she will respond to silvervine. They work on completely different receptors.

Most cats chew one stick over several sessions across three to seven days. Daily use is ideal — that's when the dental benefits and behavioural changes are most consistent.

Yes — because it addresses the cause not the behaviour. Once the gum irritation driving the chewing is being relieved daily the compulsion to chew your cords and plastic bags reduces significantly. Most owners see a noticeable change within the first week.

Dental treats are swallowed whole in under a second. They never reach the gumline. WildChew requires ten to twenty minutes of sustained chewing. The fibrous bark scrubs directly on the gumline every session. That's the contact that removes plaque before it hardens. Nothing else delivers that.

Yes. Natural plant. Non-toxic. Non-addictive. Safe for daily use in cats of all ages including kittens and senior cats. 80% of cats respond versus 66% for catnip.

Yes — and that is what makes WildChew different to every chew toy you've tried. The silvervine compounds create a genuine neurological response that brings her back consistently. She doesn't lose interest after week one. Most owners report their cat actively looks for the stick and brings it to them.
