Puppy stress really is a thing.

Early life is stressful
The most influential period in your puppy’s life begins in the womb and extends through adolescence. At sensitive ages a single negative experience can have lasting effects.

Stress leads to behavioural problems

There's a clear link between behavioural problems in dogs and the amount of stress they experience during development.

Reduce stress to prevent problems

The best way to prevent behavioural problems in dogs is to reduce stress at every stage of puppy development, including pregnancy.

Bestie Puppy uses postbiotics, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants.

Postbiotics
Bacillus coagulans is a lactic acid-producing bacteria that is commonly used as a probiotic supplement. It can withstand extreme environments, such as high levels of acid, in the stomach. It has been shown to improve gut health and strengthen the immune system, which may help reduce anxiety by reducing inflammation in the body and promoting a balanced gut microbiome.

Lactobacillus rhamnosushas been shown to colonise the gut and produce antimicrobial substances. This antimicrobial activity helps prevent chronic stress and dysbiosis of the digestive system, reducing anxious behaviourin dogs. 

Antioxidants & adaptogens

Milk thistle generally supports the immune system through its powerful antioxidant, free-radical scavenging action, its ability to preserve the supply of another important antioxidant, glutathione, as well as direct effects on immune cells.

Reishi mushroom is an adaptogen that helps your pet adapt to various stressors, via what's called a state of ‘non-specific resistance'. Polysaccharides and triterpenoids present in reishi mushroom have
a calming effect on the nervous system, reducing symptoms of stress and anxiety. Reishi has been shown to reduce cortisol levels in dogs, something that rises when exposed to stress.

B-complex vitamins & magnesium

B vitamins play important roles in the synthesis and regulation of neurotransmitters, serotonin and dopamine, which are implicated in mood regulation, as well as clinical depression and anxiety. Nutritional yeast is a B-complex powerhouse. It's also a source of the powerful antioxidants, glutathione, and selenomethionine, which can help reduce oxidative stress in the body, protect cells against damage, and reduce inflammation.


Stress has been shown to increase magnesium loss, and magnesium deficiency can increase susceptibility to stress, resulting in a magnesium-stress vicious circle. Magnesium citrate is an easy-to-absorb form.

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.
