How they help skin

Each therapeutic chew has a powerful blend of algal extracts, DHA fatty acids from sustainable algae sources, traditional Chinese herbs and quercetin.

It works by:

Reducing inflammation & itchiness.
Strengthening gut & immune responses.
Fighting oxidative stress.

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!

Chinese Foxglove

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.

Chinese Liquorice

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.

DHAGold

DHAGold is a sustainable and powerful source of DHA omega-3 fatty acid. It's produced using a fermented microalgae process.

DHA plays a significant role in the control of multiple cell functions like inflammation or immune response, which can help with allergy and skin issues.

Algimun

Algimun is a blend of two biologically active marine algal extracts.They're sources of marine sulfatepolysaccharides, which participate in various immune system functions to help limit inflammation and control immune reactions as well as stimulate a compromised immune system.

The red and green algae in Algimun, strengthen innate and adaptive immune responses and enhance the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa. This helps to support the gut skin barrier.

Nettle & Quercetin

Nettle and quercetin work together for anti-itching and histamine suppression

Chinese White Peony

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.

248mg Algimun for immune responses
225mg DHA-rich microalgae to reduce itching
113mg Nettle & quercetin for anti-itching and histamine suppression

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. 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.

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?:: 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.❤️

My dogs loved them

Delicious. My dogs love Bestie chews and get so excited when they see the packaging 🤍

Brilliant! Great feedback; so glad to hear.

Skin Issues

Mouse is now on your skin chews and Biotics chews. I am starting to see an improvement in the scratching. I know it takes about 3 weeks for it to really kick in.

That's super encouraging...Thanks for your patience and fingers crossed Mouse continues to improve.
