Although we humans use anise to flavour candy, tea, and absinthe, mans best friend also finds the anise herb appealing. In fact, some dogs are attracted to anise in the same way that many cats are drawn to catnip they enjoy pouncing, chasing, and romping with it until they tire out. If youre looking to rile up your pup, try this canine catnip and see how the pooch responds to an anise dog toy.
You can make an anise dog toy using anise seeds or anise extract, both of which will result in a fragrant plaything. Should your loyal friend show an unusual interest in the anise dog toy, you can use this canine catnip to entertain your dog on a regular basis. Similar to cats with catnip, dogs who are affected by the herb will typically play with it happily, lose interest after some romping, and then regain interest as soon as a few hours later.
But just as not all cats respond to catnip, not at dogs respond to anise. It is likely that canine heredity determines which dogs are most excited by anise, yet research into the phenomenon is very limited. Some dog foods do contain trace amounts of anise, though manufacturers claim this is not for anises attractant qualities but for its role in doggy digestion: it supposedly reduces Fido flatulence!
