Silver Vine Dental Chew Sticks (Matatabi) | Natural Enrichment & Teeth Cleaning
These simple little bundles pack a serious punch. Our Silver Vine Dental Chew Sticks, also known as Matatabi, are made from the natural branches of the silver vine bush, a plant many cats find even more irresistible than catnip.
Each order includes three silver vine sticks bound with natural fiber twine. Inside each stick is a pale, almost white core. That center contains the silver vine compounds cats crave, which is why they chew, gnaw, roll, and return to these sticks again and again.
Beyond enrichment, silver vine sticks offer a very real functional benefit. As cats chew, the natural fibers help scrape tartar from teeth, supporting better dental hygiene in a low-stress, natural way. For cats that resist brushing or dental treats, these are an excellent alternative.
Silver vine sticks do not expire. Many cats cycle through interest, playing intensely, ignoring them for a bit, then rediscovering them later. If interest fades, simply peel back a small amount of bark to refresh the scent and expose more of the active core.
