Why we're anti-kibble

Supporting research and R&D

Bad breath is common and may be a sign of dental disease.

Bad breath is common
By just two years of age, 80% of dogs have some form of periodontal disease (gum disease), with small and toy breed dogs, being particularly susceptible.

Bad breath is often the first sign and up to the stage of severe gingivitis, it's reversible. Once it becomes moderate periodontitis, it's not.

Plaque is a key culprit

When plaque is allowed to build up on our pet’s teeth - and when it hardens it becomes tartar - it allows the bacteria within to produce the volatile sulphur compounds hydrogen sulphide and methyl mercaptan which contribute both to bad breath and periodontal disease. Bad breath can also be a sign of gut microbiome imbalance.

Poor oral health is serious

Chronic gingivitis and periodontitis can lead to painful conditions like:

  • Tooth rotting
  • Jaw fractures
  • Tooth abscesses
  • Gingival recession  
  • Bone loss

There's also a greater risk of cardiovascular-related conditions.

Bestie Anxiety uses cranberry, green tea extract, bioflavonoids and herbs.

Cranberry
Cranberry phenols are compounds found in cranberries that can change the behavior of harmful bacteria in the mouth without killing them. This is important because if the bacteria were killed, it could disrupt the balance of good and bad bacteria in the mouth, potentially leading to the growth of resistant bacteria. Instead, cranberry phenols interfere with the virulence properties of harmful bacteria,making it more difficult for them to cause damage to teeth and gums.

Green tea, thyme and sage

Green tea contains compounds called catechins, which have antimicrobial properties that can help reduce plaque build up and fight against the bacteria that cause gingivitis and other gum diseases.


Thyme and sage are herbs that have been shown to have antimicrobial properties. This means they can help fight against harmful bacteria that can cause oral health problems such as gum disease, bad breath, and cavities.

Bioflavonoids and blackcurrant

Citrus bioflavonoids and vitamin C (blackcurrant is high in vitamin c) act as both anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic agents limiting the growth of certain bacteria - eg streptoccocus mutans - associated with bad breath, dental cavities formation and periodontal diseases.

They also reduce volatile sulphur comoundsmethyl mercaptan, hydrogen sulphide and dimethyl sulphide, in turn reducing bad breath.

Mighty power mini chews are based on science.

Cold extrusion technology
We use unique technology to create an all natural and functional chew that packs a lot of mighty powerful active ingredients, in one small chew. Our technology was developed as part of a CSIRO Kickstart Research Project, with help from the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre, and Jobs for NSW.

Based on research
All of our bestie chew formulations are based on peer reviewed clinical trials and research. We work with our animal nutritionist and veterinary advisors to develop highly therapeutic formulations that build on this base and combine clinical experience...to deliver a chew that we're confident really works.

The added benefit of gelatin

Bestie chews are bound with gelatin, rich in amino acids that support joint and brain health, and collagen-rich bone broth, both from grass fed and finished cattle.

This helps make them yummy and gummy, with the 'mouthfeel' that's loved by dogs....as well delivering extra functional benefits!

No mess or fuss

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. No mess. No fuss. Just right.

They really are no mess, no fuss and highly palatable.
