Bad Breath and Plaque
Bad breath and plaque buildup are often linked to poor oral hygiene, which can lead to gum inflammation and a disruption of the oral microbiome. This can have a domino effect, impacting the gut-skin microbiome and potentially leading to skin issues such as dryness, irritation, or flare-ups.
Recommended Product: Dentashield Spray
This product targets the root causes of bad breath and plaque. Kyselina Gallova, a key ingredient in this formula, has antioxidant properties that support the oral microbiomes. Myrrh in Dentashield Spray is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce plaque buildup and gum inflammation.

Frizzy, Dull, Shabby Coat
Cause: Use of market shampoos that strip the coat of its natural lustre-promoting oils can lead to dryness, frizz, and a lackluster appearance. This causes the coat to matt & form knots very easily. Brushing is painful too.

Rinse-Off Shampoo: Formulated with Coconut Oil and Lavender to hydrate and soothe the coat, helping to restore moisture and shine, without stripping natural oils, leaving the coat smooth and healthy-looking.
