We are an online-only luxury furniture and lighting boutique, and do not have a warehouse. Consequently, all orders are drop shipped directly from our manufacturers to your door. If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries. Because we are dependent on the on-hand inventory of our manufacturing partners, some items listed on our site may not actually be available right away. Please call us at 888.784.4644 or via our contact form with any stocking questions and we'll get in touch with the appropriate manufacturer for answers, before you place your order.Ground Shipping
Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL. Orders typically take 2-3 business days to process and in-stock items will usually be delivered 3-5 days from the date that they ship (depending on origin and destination). If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.We speak a lot about the importance of gut health—not only for beauty—but also in terms of our overall health, wellbeing and immunity. But before we can fully understand why the gut is so integral to our health, it’s first essential to learn more about the physiology of the gut itself—and how it works.

🛡️ LickShield™
Premium Mineral Lick Block
Correct Minerals. Correct Behaviour.
🧪 The Hidden Nutritional Challenge in Dairy Farms
In many dairy farms, animals display unusual licking behaviour such as licking soil,
walls, iron bars, wood or plastic. In some cases animals may even lick urine or
excessively lick other animals.
This behaviour is often misunderstood as a bad habit. However, in many situations it
is actually a biological signal of mineral imbalance or deficiency.
Pica Behaviour is commonly associated with deficiency of:
- Sodium
- Phosphorus
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Copper
- Essential trace minerals
When animals do not receive adequate minerals through the diet,
they instinctively attempt to compensate by licking environmental objects.
🔬 Scientific Understanding of Pica Behaviour
Pica behaviour in ruminants refers to abnormal licking or consumption of
non-nutritive materials such as soil, wood, plastic, stones or metal surfaces.
Veterinary nutrition science recognizes this as a
physiological response to mineral deficiency.
When dietary minerals become insufficient, animals instinctively attempt to restore balance.
🧠 Biological Mechanism Behind Mineral-Seeking Behaviour
Ruminant animals possess highly sensitive mechanisms that regulate mineral balance.
- Hormonal signals stimulate mineral-seeking behaviour
- Taste receptors strongly respond to sodium and mineral sources
- Animals develop increased licking behaviour
While this behaviour is adaptive, it may expose animals to harmful contaminants
present in the environment.
⚠ Hidden Risks of Soil and Object Licking
Soil or object licking may introduce harmful contaminants including:
- Parasite eggs
- Harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella
- Environmental toxins
- Heavy metals like lead and arsenic
These contaminants may lead to:
- Digestive disturbances
- Reduced feed efficiency
- Poor calf growth
- Reduced immunity
- Lower milk productivity
