As Louis Armstrong famously said, “What a Wonderful World,” and indeed it is. We live on a planet that provides mountains to climb, oceans to swim in and thousands of plants that help us sustain our existence here. Plants have the power to shelter, nourish and heal both human and animal bodies, which is truly incredible if you think about it!
And you probably DO think about it, especially in relation to what you put in and on your body, as well as the loved ones in your life. Understanding ingredients is a responsible part of living in our modern society, and that goes for consumables and topical products like bath products and cosmetics. If you’re like us there is nothing more comforting than seeing recognizable ingredients on your labels, which is why we go out of our way to find naturally powerful ingredients to put into our food, treats, supplements and yes… our beauty products! No old wives tales here, just proven skin-nourishing ingredients that come directly from our wonderful world… not a lab.
Royal Jelly
Royal Jelly (when sourced in a responsible manner) is the jam! A natural product of bees, Royal Jelly is buzzing with protein, lipids and vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, and E, as well as biotin and folic acid. It also supports the regenerative process making it ideal for dogs who shed a lot.
Fish Oil
We’re guessing you know, but this stuff is packed with Omega-3 Fatty Acids and is excellent for heart-health, reducing inflammation and improving skin. What you probably don’t know is that while the smell and taste may be unsavory to us (ahem, Fish Oil capsule burps) dogs find it wonderfully flavorful making it a wonderful vehicle for supplements.
Evening Primrose Oil aka EPO
Magical EPO comes from a beautiful yellow flower and is rich in Gamma Linoleic Acid, an Essential Fatty Acid linked to helping inflammation in the body and skin. We took inspiration from our coffee and cold-pressed EPO to create a Triple-Strength Shampoo that is lovingly known as “Coat Rehab.”
And these are just the ingredients we use to support healthy skin! Isle of Dogs uses countless other natural ingredients in our foods, treats, supplements and beauty products, each hand selected for the earthborn power they harness! Flaxseed, pumpkin and coconut are just a few of the other change-making, 100% natural ingredients we use that help your dog shine from the inside out!
