Why We Kept Manuka Honey Out Of Our Wipes!

There are a few reasons why we choose not to include Manuka honey as an ingredient in our wipes.

1. Allergies: Some dogs may have allergies or sensitivities to honey, including Manuka honey. It's important to consider potential allergic reactions before using it on your dog's skin. Allergic reactions to Manuka honey can manifest in various ways. Common symptoms may include itching, redness, swelling, hives, or gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting or diarrhea. In more severe cases, a dog may experience difficulty breathing, coughing, or wheezing. These symptoms can vary in intensity and may occur immediately after exposure to Manuka honey or within a few hours.Cost: Manuka honey can be relatively expensive compared to other ingredients. If cost is a factor, you may opt for alternative ingredients that offer similar benefits at a lower price point. It's important to remember that every dog is unique, and while one dog may have no issues with Manuka honey, another dog may develop an allergic reaction. If you are unsure about using Manuka honey in dog products, consulting with a veterinarian can help determine the suitability and safety for your specific dog or target audience.

3. Target audience: Depending on your target audience, some dog owners may prefer products that are specifically formulated without honey or prefer different natural ingredients.

Ultimately, the decision to include or exclude Manuka honey from your wipes should be based on careful consideration of these factors and aligning with your brand's values and target market preferences.
