Forest Shield Bert & Hugo – Natural protective spray for dogs (100 ml)

Forest Shield – a botanical coat care spray, created for dogs who live in harmony with nature.

No harsh chemicals. No compromises. Just botanical wisdom in a light mist – spray it on your dog's coat and your walk in the woods will become an even more pleasant experience.

Forest Shield Premium is a botanical spray for caring for and strengthening dogs' coats, designed for everyday outdoor adventures.

🌿 Supports the natural balance of skin and coat.
🌿 Nourishes and hydrates with precious botanical oils.

Because healthy and shiny coat is naturally more resistant to external influences.

The synergy of seven key ingredients:

🌿 Cistus and pelargonium – rare essential oils, highly valued in botanical cosmetics for their rich aromatic properties and beneficial effect on the coat.
🌿 Karanja and tamanu oils – intensively help maintain healthy skin and well-cared-for coat.
🌿 pH balance of approximately 6.0 – precisely adapted to the specific needs of dog skin.
🌿 Lavender and aloe vera hydrosols – soothe, deeply hydrate, and form a light water base.
🌿 Jojoba oil – richly nourishes the coat without leaving a greasy feel.

Why choose Forest Shield?

• 100% natural care: Pure botanical formula without harsh chemicals, synthetic fixatives, or pesticides. Only the best nature has to offer.
• Nourishes and strengthens: The water base of lavender and aloe vera hydrosols soothes the skin, while selected oils restore elasticity and natural shine to the coat.

Tested during everyday forest walks – approved by Bert & Hugo. 🐾

The ingredient that makes the difference: why did we choose cistus?

Cistus (Cistus ladaniferus) is a Mediterranean plant whose essential oil is considered one of the most valued botanical ingredients in natural cosmetics. It is rare. It is precious.
Most natural formulas do not contain it because it is difficult to obtain. We added it because we wanted to create a premium formula based on truly exceptional botanical ingredients – not just marketing.

"What you apply to your dog must be good enough to apply to yourself."
TINA, FOUNDER

• Cistus ladaniferus: A rare and precious botanical ingredient from the Mediterranean, known for its beneficial effect on the skin.
• Pelargonium graveolens: A scientifically researched essential component with rich aromatic properties that gives the coat a pleasant and fresh scent.
• Pongamia Glabra (karanja): Part of the Asian tradition of skin and coat care, without a greasy or sticky feel.
• Calophyllum inophyllum (tamanu): The gold of the Silent Ocean for deep care and vitality.

Who is Forest Shield intended for?

• Dogs who love exploring nature and actively spending time outdoors.
• Owners who are looking for a natural, botanical alternative to chemical coat care products.
• Dogs with sensitive skin who tolerate synthetic cosmetic products poorly.
• Active owners, hikers, and trail runners who want to offer their dogs only the best.
• Families with small children – safe to hug immediately after application.

Why pH 6.0?

Dog skin differs significantly from human skin. An unsuitable pH value of cosmetic products can quickly weaken the skin's natural protective barrier, cause irritation and itching, and make the coat brittle and dry.

Our carefully balanced pH value of 6.0 respects the natural protective barrier of your dog's skin and ensures that it remains gentle and safe even with frequent, everyday use.

Why did we choose the fully botanical path?

Many harsh synthetic preparations, such as DEET, are strong chemicals that can irritate the mucous membranes and skin. They can often disrupt a dog's experience of nature due to their extremely sharp and unpleasant scent that interferes with their sensitive sense of smell.

We chose a different path – perhaps more expensive to produce and more demanding to formulate, but incomparably better and gentler for your dog and your home.

The story of Bert and Hugo

It all started with two Pomeranians – Bert and Hugo. Forest walks were always beautiful, but after every return home, I looked for a way to keep their rich coat clean, well-cared-for, and fresh. When I couldn't find a product on the market that combined completely natural ingredients, premium coat care, and a pleasant, unobtrusive scent, I decided to create it myself. Months of thorough botanical research led to the formula I trust every day today – on my dogs, but also on myself. Thus, Forest Shield was born. – Tina, founder of the Bert & Hugo brand

How to use?

1. Always shake the bottle well before use so that the oil and water phases combine.
2. Spray on the coat from a distance of 15 to 20 cm. We recommend applying to the paws, belly, and area behind the ears, against the direction of hair growth, so that the mist reaches the undercoat.

4. During very long outdoor activities, you can reapply for refreshment.
5. Make sure the product does not come into direct contact with the eyes, nose, or oral cavity.
