Does anyone know if canines are affected by catnip?

One of my cats is missing. I've been leaving my trail camera out wherever I find footprints with some dry food, so as not to attract the whole forest. I've been spraying trees and rocks near the camera with catnip in the hope that it will attracts cats rather than anything else.

I've seen a few cats, sadly not my cat. I've seen a tanuki, one of these.



I've also seen a fox cub. The fox seemed to really like the smell of cat nip and spent a long time rubbing against the tree I'd sprayed with nip.

Does it affect most canines or was this just a weird cub?

Thank you for all the positive vibes.

Great video @Margd  That's exactly what the fox cub was doing! I caught a little weasel thing on camera last night. They seem to like the smell of catnip too.
