    Bestie Thera-Chews are not like a Panadol. They take time to build up in the body and take effect. Typically, you should see improvements in about 3+ weeks.

    That depends on the weight of your dog. The feed guide is:

    • 1 chew up to 7kg
    • 1 - 2 chews between 7kg and 14kg
    • 3 - 4 chews 15kg to 24kg
    • 4 - 6 chews over 25kg

    So, for a 10kg dog, a pack of 90 chews will last about 45 days.

    That's the reason we sell Trial Packs. That's a cost-effective way of finding out if your dog will eat these chews day in, day out, which they'll need to do to be effective.

    In addition:

    • We develop formulations that include palatable ingredients and then test widely.
    • We also include a natural vegetarian flavour along with natural hickory smoke, in most products for extra flavour oomph.

    No mess.Easy to Feed No fuss. No refusal.

    If you've ever tried to break one of those other hard chews, tried to get doses right with powder, or wrapped things in bacon or cheese just to get your dog to eat it, (not to mention shoving your hand down their throat), then you'll appreciate the simplicity of bestie chews.

    Joint pain is common

    While not all joint pain is osteoarthritis, OA is a common degenerative disease that affects the joints, leading to cartilage breakdown, inflammation, pain, and disability.

    One study estimated about 20% of dogs over 1 year had OA.)

    Research suggests that a dysbiotic gut microbiome, characterised by an imbalance in the types and numbers of bacteria, is associated with the development and progression of osteoarthritis.

    How the gut affects joints

    There are a few mechanisms by which the gut microbiota contributes:

    1. Inflammation: The gut microbiota can influence the immune system and promote inflammation, which can contribute to the development and progression of osteoarthritis.
    2. Metabolite production:The gut microbiota produces various metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids, which can have both positive and negative effects on joint health. Imbalances in these metabolites may contribute to osteoarthritis.
    3. Gut permeability: Disruption of the gut barrier, also known as gut permeability, can allow harmful substances to enter the bloodstream. This can trigger an immune response and potentially contribute to joint inflammation and damage.
    4. Systemic effects: The gut microbiota can influence systemic processes, including metabolism and immune function. These systemic effects may indirectly impact the development and progression of osteoarthritis.

    Joint meaty chews

    My Mollie 9 years old, has started on these, since the last supplement (another company) was discontinued. She had lost her smile and movement was stiff and less. After a couple of couple weeks of Besties Joint chews, Mollie is moving more freely and her smile and cheeky personality is emerging again.
    Excellent company to deal with. The proof is in the pudding, thanks!!

    Oh! That's excellent to hear. Thanks for sharing that and we're thrilled that Mollie is moving a little more easily and has her smile back!

    Bestie gummy chews

    Great product! Our Maltese Shih Tzu Teddy is almost 15yo, but took to the chews straight away. They certainly encourage vigorous, healthy chewing and will be a great asset to Teddy's dental health going forward.

    Many thanks for that feedback and video!

    What was the reason you switched to bestie...was there something going on health-wise?:: Recommended by holistic vet
    Always happy with bestie products

    My friend’s greyhound loved them
    My dachshund cross jack russell couldn’t chew them as they were very hard. I tried cutting them up but it was virtually impossible

    Thanks for your feedback. That's great about the greyhounds, not so much about the Dachsie. That said, these were trial packs and the reason we were still trialling is because that batch was a little harder than we were aiming for...
