Each therapeutic chew has a powerful blend of adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms.
It works by:
But it's also yummy and gummy! And the perfect size for small and older dogs. Thera-Chews™️ are the small chews for small dogs!
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.
Did you know that…a change in season can be stressful on your dog's immune system? That's because the body - which is a bit like its own ecosystem - has to change how it's regulating. It's not easy going from keeping a body cool in summer and then having to switch to suddenly keep in the warmth in winter.
Seasonal changes are recognised as being associated with health conditions in some traditional systems of medicine like TCM or Ayurveda. Change of season, or extreme climatic conditions are a good time to give your dog extra support.
And if you've been going through these life stressors - moving house, going on holiday, having a change in the family (new partner, baby etc), getting sick? - then research shows your dog has become stressed in sync too.
'Good stress', known as eustress, is a positive cognitive response to stress that's healthy - your dog's engaged, happy, and learning. A little bit of stress makes us stronger! While the stress response is a normal part of daily life, it's harmful when triggered too intensely or for too long - and then it becomes bad stress or distress.
What happens with bad stress? Well, in simple terms, the effects of stress on the immune system may shift from immunoenhancement to immunosuppression.The immune system can forget how to function normally. (It's called immune dysregulation.) The system needs a Pep-Up!
Not only that, but chronic stress is associated with high levels of cortisol in the blood stream, which in turn has been related to a number of human disorders including obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, immune disturbances, altered endocrine responses and nervous system disorders. Research also shows that chronic stress from anxiety disorders is associated with shortened lifespan in dogs.
Awesome for relaxing anxious pups 🤩
When I first adopted Theo he was sufferings from anxiety and the vet prescribed Bestie Anxiety over the last 7 months his whole life has changed I was his 4th home and combined with the Besties lots of love and attention
And training his behaviour has really changed he receives 1/2 Besties morning and nite and he thinks they are treats I am not sure this change can be put entirely down to the Besties but I think they have helped
That's great to hear! I'm sure it's the whole package of things that have helped...dogs are often so stressed and anxious when they've come from that rescue situation so good on you and glad for Theo to have found you.❤️
Too early to tell…
I’m giving a 2 & 1/2 star to my review- But only because I haven’t been using it long enough to see any result.
I decided to try both the Stress chews and the Anxiety chews after experiencing a reasonable degree of success with the Skin chews on my white Poodle- Bichon X who was always chewing at her feet. The success I’ve experienced there has been a reduction in itching and chewing (this is not yet totally resolved) and a 100% resolution of the horrible red-brown stains on the fur on her feet and under her eyes. The decrease in eye discharge and hence red tear stains was an unexpected but welcome surprise. Even the vet is astonished that she no longer has any degree of red-brown coloured fur. It took about 40 days of the chews before I noticed the difference.
So, bolstered by this success, I decided to try these chews for both my Poodle- Bichon X and, in particular, my anxious Feather coat Cavoodle, As it is only two weeks in, there hasn’t been enough time pass to determine if these chews have been successful, hence my low number rating.
Thanks for your fairness and willingness to try...
My dogs are so excited when I bring out the Bestie chews. This is another palatable and enjoyable chew for them and they thoroughly enjoy it.
That's such great feedback...thank you! And glad they love them.
Our dog loves this and often gets an upset stomach with new foods but not with Pep-up! Highly recommend.
Excellent! Great to hear...thank you.
Kodak suffered a terrible bout of gastro after someone gave him processed meat at puppy school. He has always been raw-fed, but suddenly, he could not tolerate most proteins and the meal completer he was on. Someone put us onto Bestie Powder, and he has not looked back. Its blend is super delicate on his sensitive tum. Fast-forward 18 months, and Kodak has got most proteins back into his diet—and we still use Bestie every day!
That's brilliant! Well, not about the gastro in the first place but so glad bestie helped and is helping your boy..❤️
My two fur babies love these and they help them to settle down when anxious and when they notice we are organising to go away. Be it for the day or overnight. They really do help them out.
Excellent! So glad they love them and that they're helping..❤️
I didn't think Charlie would eat them with being hard, but they were fine he ate them with no problems
My kelpie x border collie gets really anxious hearing mowers. She was drooling and shaking when she heard them. Since taking 2 daily Bestie anxiety chews, she now looks alert and a bit anxious but not the other things. I’m very happy.
That's great to hear! Thanks for letting us know and glad they're helping her.
