L-carnitine is an amino acid that transports fatty acids into our cells' mitochondria so they can be oxidised to produce energy. It also transports the toxic compounds out. Carnitine is particularly important for ageing dogs as the concentration of it declines with age and reduces the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane. In The Einstein, we use acetyl l-carnitine, the most effective form for the brain.
Great product our girls love their treats
That's excellent!!! Thank you.
What was the reason you switched to bestie...was there something going on health-wise?:: Had more theanine, and liked that you listed the dosage of each ingredient
Still early days for my little rescue dog who is anxious, sooky and a bit neurotic - he has a lot of issues! He is motion sensitive, and is reactive to cars, dogs, bikes - which makes walks a bit of a pain. He is hypervigilant and alert and it's hard for him to just relax. I suspect given some of his behaviours, that he was abused, before surrender, and that in the context of four homes before getting to me has created a lot of trauma for a then 11month old.
Having tried some other supplements, I knew which ingredients would be key for him, and just needed a product with the right amounts for him. We did have a gap in time with supplements, and the drop in tryptophan and the effects was noticeable. It's taken a long time to build it back up and we aren't quite at the happy place yet, but we are close.
Buddy is 18 months now, and we are in the throes of teenagehood. We have just finished our trial pack of the anxiety chews and about to start our 90 chew bag.
People have commented that Buddy looks happier. He is less destructive in the backyard when left alone (although prefers to sleep under the outdoor setting which is covered - this is his little safe cave). He has a slight increase in tolerance for his triggers (can deal with one bird on the fence, but 5 or more is pushing it). Walks have definitely improved but he is still reactive and we are working on this with a trainer. He does sleep soundly through the night, most of the time - although still becomes very alert whenever I sneeze in bed or flush the toilet (on the other side of the house).
It will take time. And we will keep going with the chews. Amanda has been amazing with answering questions, so grateful for that extra level of support.
Thanks so much for that really thoughtful feedback...we're really happy to hear about Buddy's progress and we applaud you for your patience helping Buddy become less anxious. Glad also to hear Bestie helping! ❤️
Jazz loves all the different Bestie chews, we no longer give her any other treats. I too love them because I know they are doing her good at helping with her skin, gut and ageing conditions. I recommend Bestie to others all the time!
What a gorgeous girl...❤️! Love that feedback; thanks so much; glad she likes them!
Nala has now been on Biotics for 2 - 3 weeks. There has definitely been step forward in her skin and general overall condition. she is not scratching as much, her skin has cleared, while she is losing some hair I can no longer build another dog from the shedding. She is a lot brighter and sparky.
Thank you Bestie.
That's great! Excellent news; let's hope she continues to improve. 😍
Have had my Bichon Frise on this for a little while now and have noticed she is not scratching quite as much which is great....also she seems to like them so there us little to no fuss when she has them
