BE YOUR DOG’S HERO
Thoughtful canine wellness education for every stage of your dog’s journey—from thriving puppies to chronic illness, cancer support and longevity.
For over 15 years, Leslie Ors has pushed back against the conventional health model in pursuit of a more proactive, root-cause approach for both humans and dogs. As a Registered Nurse, Canine Nutritionist and Holistic Clinician, she is driven by a belief that lasting wellness requires more than symptom management. She has dedicated years to studying nutrition, lifestyle, and root-cause approaches while applying those principles to her own life and to her own dogs.
Health isn’t built through perfection. It’s built through thoughtful daily choices. Whether you’re feeding kibble, home-cooked meals or raw, every small step matters. Leslie’s goal isn’t to make you feel guilty — it’s to meet you exactly where you are and help you feel empowered.
She wants to help you connect the dots, ask better questions and make thoughtful decisions — that support health, resilience, longevity and true wellness.
THE WILD DOG MERCANTILE
A slow-infused botanical rinse handcrafted in small batches to support healthy skin, a balanced coat, and the skin’s natural microbiome. The skin microbiome refers to the diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that reside on the skin's surface. These microbes play a crucial role in protecting the skin, supporting the immune system, and maintaining overall skin health.
Unlike many grooming products that rely on detergents, fragrances, essential oils or harsh ingredients, FOREST DOG Herbal Rinse is made with organic herbs slowly infused for weeks in raw organic apple cider vinegar to gently extract the beneficial constituents of each plant.
Our blend of calendula, chamomile, oat straw, nettle, and plantain has been traditionally used to soothe irritated skin, calm occasional itching, support the skin barrier, and promote overall skin health.
Because healthy skin begins with a healthy microbiome, Forest Dog Herbal Rinse is designed to work with your dog’s skin—not strip it. Use after bathing, between baths, after outdoor adventures, or anytime your dog’s skin needs extra support.
Five botanicals. Each chosen with intention to soothe, nourish, and support your dog’s skin—naturally:
NETTLE
Mineral-rich nettle has a long history of traditional use for itchy, reactive skin. Its naturally occurring plant compounds help soothe irritation while supporting a healthy skin barrier and comfortable coat.
CALENDULA
Known for its affinity for the skin, calendula is traditionally used to calm redness, soothe irritation, and support the skin’s natural repair process. It’s especially lovely for tender, sensitive, or easily aggravated skin.
OAT STRAW
Gentle and nourishing, oat straw is naturally rich in minerals and soothing plant compounds. It helps comfort dry, itchy, sensitive skin while supporting softness and hydration without harsh ingredients.
PLANTAIN
Plantain leaf has been used traditionally as a soothing skin herb for everything from minor irritation to bug bites. Its naturally cooling, calming properties make it a beautiful botanical for itchy, uncomfortable skin.
CHAMOMILE
Chamomile is prized for its gentle, calming properties and is traditionally used to soothe redness, itching, and skin irritation. It brings an extra layer of comfort to sensitive or stressed skin.

Ingredients
Organic calendula flowers, organic chamomile flowers, organic oat straw, organic nettle leaf, organic plantain leaf, and raw organic apple cider vinegar.
Directions
General Use
Dilute 1–2 tablespoons of concentrate per 1 cup of water. For larger dogs, simply make more using the same ratio. Pour or spray onto a wet coat after bathing, between washes, or as needed. Massage into coat with hands and focus on belly, armpits, groin, skin folds and itchy areas. Towel dry or let coat air dry. Do not rinse off. Avoid eyes and inner ears.
Paw Soak
Dilute 1–2 tablespoons of concentrate per 1 cup of warm water. Soak paws for 5–10 minutes, then gently pat dry. Do not rinse. Use as needed after walks or for routine paw care.
Small Batch Notice
FOREST DOG Herbal Rinse is handcrafted using a traditional slow-infusion process that requires several weeks to complete. While we strive to keep products in stock, occasional production times of 2–4 weeks may occur when a fresh batch is infusing. We believe quality is worth the wait.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, inside the ears, and open or severely irritated skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian if needed. This product is intended to support normal skin health and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.
Canine Nutritionist–Formulated • Proprietary 7-Plant Blend
One simple way to bring more diversity to the bowl.
FOREST DOG Botanical Food Topper is a whole-plant botanical food topper created to add something increasingly missing from the modern canine diet: plant diversity.
Dogs evolved alongside a far more diverse food environment than most experience today—one that included grasses, leaves, roots, berries, herbs, soil microbes, and seasonal plant matter. FOREST DOG Botanical Food Topper brings a little of that diversity back to the bowl with seven thoughtfully selected botanicals, gently dried and blended without synthetic vitamins, fillers, flavors, or unnecessary ingredients.
This isn’t a concentrated medicinal supplement meant to “treat” one specific problem. It’s whole-food, whole-body nourishment designed to complement kibble, a fresh food or raw diet several times a week.
The blend provides naturally occurring phytonutrients, polyphenols, antioxidants, minerals, fibers, and plant compounds that can help support gut microbial diversity, healthy digestion, skin and coat health, normal immune function, and overall resilience.
Seven Plants. Seven Reasons They’re Here.
Organic Nettle Leaf A mineral-rich nutritive herb traditionally used to support a healthy inflammatory response, skin health, and seasonal allergy comfort. Nettle naturally provides an array of minerals and plant compounds, making it a beautiful whole-food addition for dogs prone to seasonal environmental sensitivities.
Organic Plantain Leaf A soothing, nutrient-rich plant traditionally valued for both digestive and skin support. Plantain provides mucilage, polyphenols, and plant fibers that help nourish the gut while supporting normal tissue and inflammatory responses.
Organic Lemon Balm A gentle aromatic herb rich in polyphenols and traditionally used to support healthy digestion and a calm, balanced nervous system. Its plant compounds also contribute antioxidant support.
Organic Calendula Known for its affinity for the skin, digestive tract, and lymphatic system. Calendula contains carotenoids, flavonoids, and other phytonutrients that support healthy tissues and a balanced inflammatory response.
Organic Dandelion Leaf A naturally nutrient-dense green providing minerals, carotenoids, polyphenols, and bitter plant compounds. Traditionally used to support digestion and normal liver and kidney function while adding valuable botanical diversity to the diet.
Organic Rose Hips Naturally rich in vitamin C-associated compounds, carotenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols. Rose hips provide antioxidant support and phytonutrients that complement healthy immune, connective tissue, and whole-body function.
Organic Dandelion Root A source of naturally occurring inulin and other plant fibers that can help nourish beneficial gut microbes. Its bitter compounds have also traditionally been used to support healthy digestion and normal liver function.
Why Botanical Diversity Matters
A resilient gut microbiome thrives on diversity.
Different plants provide different fibers, polyphenols, and phytonutrients—and those compounds interact with the gut microbiome in different ways. Rather than relying on a single isolated ingredient, FOREST DOG Botanical Food Topper provides a spectrum of whole plants that help broaden the nutritional inputs reaching the gut.
And because the gut doesn’t exist in isolation, supporting microbial and dietary diversity can have effects far beyond digestion. The gut, immune system, and skin are intimately connected, which is why nourishing the gut is an important part of supporting healthy skin, normal immune responses, and whole-body wellness.
FOREST DOG Botanical Food Topper was created to make that simple:
Scoop. Sprinkle. Add diversity.
**Packaged in a beautiful 16 oz glass jar, FOREST DOG Botanical Food Topper is a loose, fluffy blend of whole dried leaves, flowers, roots, and fruits—not a finely powdered supplement.
Every scoop is a little different. Some days your dog’s bowl may have more rose hips, other days more calendula petals or nettle leaves. That’s the beauty of whole plants. Nature doesn’t deliver identical portions of every botanical, every single day.
And that’s the whole point: diversity, not uniformity.
A little more variety. A little more nature. A little more wild in every bowl.
Feeding Directions
FOREST DOG Botanical Food Topper is intended as a complementary whole-food topper and does not need to be fed every day.
Feed 3–4 times weekly:
Under 20 lb: ¼ tsp
20–50 lb: ½ tsp
Over 50 lb: 1 tsp
Sprinkle directly over food or moisten the dried botanicals before feeding with a small amount of warm water, bone broth, or raw goat’s milk. Allow to soften briefly, then mix into the meal.
Botanical blend comes in a 16oz glass jar.

Love this rinse so much! It makes my dog’s coat feel amazing. It’s really awesome bc you can use it not only in between baths, but also in place of baths too. You can just tell that this product uses top qualify ingredients and is made with the utmost care. Also, I had some questions, so I messaged the owner, and she is super helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks, Leslie! Highly recommend!

She was so smart and informative! Spoke to me about my dog’s insulinoma case and told me exactly what to feed her and what supplements to give! I got more info from her in an hour phone call than I could have ever found online and she even debunked some of the stuff I’ve read online to make sure I was going to treat my dog correctly! So glad I bumped into her on a Facebook dog group because she’s amazing!! Highly highly recommend!

It’s clear that her recommendations are rooted in both experience and a passion for animal wellness.
I highly recommend the Forest Dog Herbal Rinse and Leslie’s guidance. Her expertise has made all the difference for my dog, and the results have been remarkable!

MEET BELLA
The next chapter of the Two Tails story.
Bella came into my life after I said goodbye to Chuck and Charlie, who were the heart and inspiration for Two Tails Canine Wellness. Bella reminded me that true health often begins with slowing down, observing and supporting the whole body with intention.
Forest Dog was originally created for Chuck and Charlie, but Bella’s incredibly sensitive skin reminded me just how powerful those simple herbal traditions could be. She inspired me to share Forest Dog with other pet parents looking for gentle, natural skin support.
Today, Bella is my hiking partner, product tester, and a daily reminder that the smallest acts of care often make the biggest difference.
Chuck and Charlie taught me why this work matters. Bella reminds me every day why I continue it.
And my hope is that through Two Tails, I can help you write your own story with the dog who means everything to you.
