Hello. What is or are the canine equivalents of catnip?

Answer -
Hi, there really is no equivalent of catnip for dogs.  Cats systems are more delicate when it comes to things inhaled and/or ingested, especially greens & herbs, so that is why they have such a response to catnip.   Hope this helps.

Hello:

Thank you for responding. There is no substance that dogs ingest or sniff that makes dogs "excited"? What is dogsbane? Please let me know. Thank you.

Answer
Hi, Dogsbane is an herb that is supposed to help the immune system.  I have never heard of it having any effect on dogs.  Here is a website that gives some general information on it
