About Us

Hello pet lovers! Welcome to Healing Hippos!

We are a family-owned and operated business nestled in Woodstock, On, Canada. We have been in operation since 2018.

At Healing Hippos, we offer pet care products derived from nature. What started out at a veterinarian visit turned into a learning curve for us. For years, our Dachshund suffered from chronic ear infections and paw & skin issues. Despite multiple veterinarian visits and numerous medications and treatments, we couldn’t find a decent remedy that worked for her long-term. Frustrated with unsuccessful and expensive prescriptions and recommendations, we decided to create our own natural cleanser & healing balm.

As a wound care nurse for 10+ years, I saw complex and complicated wounds take months to years to heal. Sometimes traditional pharmaceutical methods worked - sometimes they didn't. 

I decided to use my training and experience and cross reference with holistic and integrated vets as well as medical journals to make a product that would bring relief to my poor dog.

After years of develop and research the formula was finally ready - and WOW did it work. To see my dog FINALLY heal and not be in discomfort was overwhelming.

Then the thought came to me? I can't be the only person dealing with these issues? NOPE. Fast-forward to present day and I have met SO.MANY.PEOPLE and their pets with the EXACT same struggles.

Took a leap of faith and brought it to the public in 2018 and have been helping countless pets since! When I see people at events and point to my booth saying "That's what we bought for [Daisy] and it actually worked!" It puts an instant smile on mine and my families faces to know that there is 1 less dog out there struggling and feeling discomfort.

Thanks for taking the time to read about who we are and why we started Healing Hippos. We hope you and your pets enjoy our products!

Sincerely,
