Introduction to Brooke Shields and Her Passion for Pets
At vet school and beyond, the potential for diversification in veterinary degrees is often discussed. However, interviewing acting royalty like Brooke Shields about her new range of pet care products was not something one would typically expect. Despite her lifelong pet allergies, Brooke has always had dogs in her home. Recently, she has been working with Prospect Pet, a company focused on clean and conscious products, to create a line of pet care products that she can be proud of.
Brooke Shields’ Journey with Pets
Brooke reflects on her past pets and wishes she knew more about how to care for them. After losing her previous dog, Pepper, she started thinking about how she could use her position to create products that she could be proud of. She has a rescue Staffordshire Terrier mix named Tuzi, whom she affectionately labels "a disaster." Brooke’s approach to looking after Tuzi has changed and evolved to suit her individual needs. She focuses on cleanliness and moisture, giving Tuzi more baths than her previous dogs to maintain the integrity of her skin and coat.
Creating Products with a Purpose
Brooke has taken a similar approach when creating her own brand of hair care for women over 40, Commence. She focuses on getting to the root of a problem and being preventative and proactive in health. With Prospect Pet, she aims to protect pets from the outside elements and provide them with the nutrients they need. Brooke’s goal is to create products that are clean, conscious, and transparent, with a focus on responsible sourcing and packaging.
The Importance of Authenticity
Brooke believes that being a famous person is useless unless you can use it for good. She only aligns herself with things she fully believes in and trusts. She finds freedom in associating with products and companies that are honest and pure, like her pets. Brooke’s enthusiasm and commitment to only working with products and companies she believes in are inspiring. She is down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and her love for her dogs and family is evident.
