Vets recommend bestie

"I wholeheartedly recommend Bestie products to clients. The balancers are a simple and easy way to balance up home prepared meals so I can be confident the cats and dogs are getting what they need nutritionally, and it is no stress for my clients. I love the jellies as a simple, easy and palatable way to give clinical levels of multiple nutraceuticals to dogs with commonly seen health conditions, such as cognitive decline, halitosis and stress. The customer service is exceptional too. Amanda is a great communicator. All made here in Australia. Five stars from me.”
Dr Kathy Cornack, Holistic Vets Newcastle

"I love this product! The ingredients are fantastic and great quality. My dog can be picky, but she absolutely loves the Allrounder and makes sure she licks out every last bit from the bowl. I love to know too that I am feeding a complete balanced meal - and it's so easy to do!"
Dr Sophie Dyson, vet

I am a huge fan of Bestie Balancer. As an integrative Veterinarian with a passion for feeding dogs and cats fresh foods, I am so happy to be able to recommend Bestie to my clients. Bestie is very palatable, made from human grade whole foods & the powder is easy to measure & mix with home made food. I recommend that my clients feed primarily fresh meat (raw or lightly cooked) with vegetables and then Bestie does the rest to ensure a balanced diet. Bestie has been especially good for some of my very fussy dog patients who will only eat a limited repertoire of home cooked food as now I can feel confident that they are getting optimal nutrition despite their very discerning palates! I have no hesitation in recommending Bestie products to anyone who is preparing home made food for their dogs and cats.

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT

no fake anything

All our supplements use natural ingredients: whole foods, herbs and herbal extracts, with natural or naturally-derived vitamins where needed. We do not ever use synthetic vitamins, minerals and premixes; we don't use synthetic palatants and flavour enhancers. We also use Australian-sourced ingredients where we can; organic where we can; and our dried fruit and vegetable powders are low temperature processed, for maximum nutrient retention. Here are some of our ingredients.

BASED ON SCIENCE

All of our supplements are formulated by experts. One of Australia's leading pet animal nutritionists, Denis M'Gee formulates our balancers, to meet and exceed AAFCO nutrient profiles. Holistic vet Dr Kathy Cornack, an integrative vet for over 30 years, formulates our health jellies, based on peer-reviewed research into the impact of nutraceuticals on various health conditions. We don't follow fads; we use the best ingredients we can, and our supplements are designed to support great health for dogs and cats.

our heart is in the business

We started bestie because of our two little dogs, Alfy and Mondoe, and our desire to give those ageing fur-balls the best quality of life we could. We knew that good health began with good food...and over time, that led to bestie. As months went on, we saw the difference bestie supplements made to our dogs...and now, to others in the wider bestie family. After over 20 years in corporate life, it brings us great joy to be in a business we believe in and that we know makes a difference to others. Welcome to bestie.

Why your raw fed cat can eat veg.

If you’re feeding your cat raw, one of the common things you’re probably told is that cats are obligate carnivores, and so they should only eat meat. Well, it’s true. Cats are obligate carnivores. But it’s not true that they should only eat meat.
