Algal extracts for immune responses
Chinese herbs for soothing
Pro and postbiotics for gut-skin link

Postbiotics
L. rhamnosus and L. paracasei are specific probiotic strains that can help regulate the immune system and reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are molecules that contribute to inflammation in the body.

L. rhamnosus and L. paracasei have also been shown to improve gut permeability, which means they help strengthen the barrier between the gut and the rest of the body, preventing harmful substances from leaking out into the bloodstream and contributing to inflammation. This improved gut health can help reduce systemic inflammation and promote overall health and well-being, including the health of the skin.

Algimun algal extracts

Algimun is a blend of biologically active marine algal extracts, rich in polysaccharides, that strengthen innate and adaptive immune responses and enhance the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa.

Algal polysaccharides
reinforce the junction between intestinal cells leading to a less permeable intestinal wall. They can also help increase mucin secretion of the goblet cells leading to a more functional mucus layer. Polysaccharides help limit inflammation and control immune reactions as well as stimulate a compromised immune system.

Traditional Chinese herbs

In Chinese Foxglove, compounds such as catalpol, rhein, and glycyrrhizic acid are believed to have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help to reduce itching and soothe skin irritation.

In White Peony, compounds such as paeoniflorin, paeonol, and albiflorin are believed to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, which can help to reduce skin irritation and prevent infections that can cause itching.

In Chinese Liquorice, the primary compound is glycyrrhizin, which has anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and antimicrobial properties. Additionally, it contains glycyrrhetic acid, which can help to soothe skin irritation and reduce itching.

Olive fruit phenolic acids

Olive fruit contains phenolic acids, phenolic alcohols, flavonoids, secoiridoids, and phenolic compounds that are known to possess multiple biological activities.

In particular, it's rich in hydroxytyrosol, one of the most powerful antioxidants among all phenolic compounds. By reducing oxidative stress, antioxidants may help to reduce inflammation and improve skin health, which in turn may help to relieve itching.

Hydroxytyrosol is also believed to act as a prebiotic by providing fuel for beneficial bacteria in the gut, allowing them to thrive and outcompete harmful bacteria. This may help to improve gut function and support overall health, including skin health.

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!

We use cold extrusion technology in a process developed as part of a CSIRO Kickstart Research Project, with help from the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre, and Jobs for NSW.

Working on the gut-skin connection

Skin complaints are common and typically need what's called a 'multimodal' approach, to reduce inflammation, increase antioxidant activity and modulate the gut microbiome.

Itchy skin is common

Nearly 25% of all veterinary visits are the result of skin conditions. It often presents as relentlessly itching, scratching, rubbing and licking.

Almost half of all dogs presenting with skin allergies are eventually diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition.

Linked to gut imbalance

Many skin diseases are associated with alterations in the gut microbiome. Since the gut interacts directly with the immune system, imbalances in the gut microbiome can lead to an inappropriate immune response. Several studies have already found skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and dandruff to be linked to alterations in the gut-skin axis.

Linked to inflammation

Stress of one kind or another – fear of thunderstorms, separation anxiety, stranger fItchy skin in dogs is often a symptom of an underlying inflammatory condition. This causes the immune system to overreact and produce an excessive amount of inflammation in the skin, leading to itching, redness, and other symptoms.

In addition, the skin has a delicate balance between antioxidants and oxidants. When this balance is upset, free radicals can damage cells and tissues in the skin and skin problems can occur.

What was the reason you switched to bestie...was there something going on health-wise?:: Suffers skin irration regularly,This is to costly for a 27kg dog.

Misleading

Just Purchased the 30 pack Skin treats.
Once opening the package and read the instructions ,I realised I'd been duped.
After looking back on your advertising info on this product it does not state a Chew per Dog weight ratio.
My dog is 27kg which as per the Ratio Chart I would have to give him 5 chews each day,That equates to 6 packets per month,at approximately $30 per pack,$180 Monthly.Not happening,
Will be returning the product and request refund.

Thanks for your feedback. We're not out to dupe you nor have you be unhappy, so I have gone ahead and refunded you the cost of your order, which had included the welcome discount of $10. No need to return the chews. However, the daily feed guide that's on the back of the pack is also on the website. That said, we will make it even clearer and over the next couple of days we will update the website to reflect those instructions. In addition, we have until very recently, offered a discount on multiple packs so that it isn't as expensive for those with larger dogs. We have just changed that as we are about to move to larger packs and reduced pricing overall. However, the bottom line is that the chews have a high concentration of active ingredients which are expensive and pricing does reflect this. We wish you good luck resolving your dog's condition.

Thera-chews for itchy skin

My dog is a 15 month old pup and finds the chews too big so I cut them up and spread it over her kibble.

Thanks for letting us know this...at about 2.5g per chew, these are about as small as we can make them so glad to know you've got a workaround...

What was the reason you switched to bestie...was there something going on health-wise?:: My dog constantly chewed at her feet and had red stained fur from the constant chewing

No more red stained fur from chewing or tear stains under the eyes

It probably took about 40 days before I noticed that the red stained fur under my dog’s eyes and on her feet from constant chewing, had gone. I was quite surprised because I’ve tried so many things that promised but failed to deliver. My dog still chews at her feet from time to time, but significantly less.

I find I have to cut the chews up and mix into her food as she doesn’t like the flavour otherwise. The newer softer chews are a big improvement on the older hard ones.

Thanks so much for sharing that! yes, it can take a while and it may also take multiple approaches with some dogs. I'm thrilled to see this result for your dog though...and thanks for the great pics.

What was the reason you switched to bestie...was there something going on health-wise?:: My dog was scratching and chewing himself continuously

Impressive

My dog has been on these tablets for his skin for a week now and the difference it has made is very noticeable. He was chewing himself continuously and now it’s down to a few times a day and short periods. He went off his food for the week and this morning his appetite has returned, he is relaxed and back to normal. I live the idea that this product is natural. And the fact that my fussy dog loves them. When he didn’t want to eat anything else he always ate 2 tablets each morning. Great product. They have made me and my dog happy. So good that he is not scratching and chewing himself anymore.

I'm so glad the Skin chews are helping!!! And that he's eating them. Thanks so much for sharing that feedback and do keep us posted...and if you feel inclined to take a video...well, we'd love to see one!

What was the reason you switched to bestie...was there something going on health-wise?:: Itching

Highly recommend

Iv found this product to be great, very effective and she’s a fussy eater but gobbles them up like her favourite treat. My dogs itching has stopped and she just seems more herself now.
Would highly recommend,

Brilliant! I'm so thrilled that they're helpful and she likes them.❤️
