Have you looked on the back of a treat pack lately? You'd be surprised what's in our pet's treats. If it's not fillers and fake flavours, it's synthetic vitamins and minerals.
In the bestie Crikkies, it's a different story. The Crikkies treat mix is made from all-natural, highly bio-available, dietary sources, including omega-rich cricket meal, cod liver oil and green lipped mussel and micronutrient-rich nutritional yeast, wheatgrass, kelp, and kale.
It's formulated to be complete and balanced for dogs (so it could be used as a meal replacement) and super-healthy for cats
Australian cricket meal is not only an environmentally sustainable, digestible protein, but it's also rich in calcium, iron, B12 and B2 vitamins and has three times the amount of omega 3 as salmon.
Green lipped mussel from NZ contains glycosaminoglycans, glucosamine and chondroitin, as well as zinc, and magnesium, all beneficial for good joint health. In addition, green lipped mussel along with cod liver oil, provides omega-3 fatty acids.
The cod liver oil we use, is made from wild caught, sustainably sourced Norwegian Arctic cod. This cod liver oil is rich in omega-3s, including EPA and DHA, which support heart, brain, vision, and joint health, as well as vitamins A and D.
Crikkies also contains Australian sea kelp, hand-harvested on the Australian coast, for a potent source of iodine. It combines with kale, rich in betacarotene as well as lutein, and wheatgrass, which is packed with chlorophyll (as is nettle), vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6, as well as minerals zinc, iron, selenium, and manganese.
Crikkies also include nutritional yeast, an inactive form of yeast that's also a complete protein - containing the10 amino acids that dogs need. It's packed with B-vitamins, including B12 (typically only found in meat), has an abundance of trace minerals and the powerful antioxidants glutathione and selenomethionine. It also contains the carbs beta-glucan and alpha-mannan, that boost the immune system.
Just add water, mix, roll and bake.

Even cats like treats, as well as dogs!
He liked the Crikkies.. Easy to cook and they smell yum... He really loves the Allrounder Balancer sup and gobbles up his meat... I will be buying more from Bestie... Great service too... Xx
Thank you! That's excellent to hear!
Their noses begin twitching the moment the heat of my sandwich toaster starts to cook the Crikkies mixture. Between a folded sheet of baking paper I lay the thin chocolate bar shaped mixture, marked with small squares, and slowly cook them on a low heat setting. It can take up to 20 minutes but my geriatric companions don’t care how long it takes. They lay in waiting until they’re cooled enough to eat, then, they know when I’m breaking pieces off for them. That’s when they start jumping. I never feel guilty giving them two as they’re the healthiest treats i have come across in their nearly 15 years. Crikey those Crikkies are good!!
Hilarious! You are a creative food-genius! Thanks so much and glad they love them.
I rolled the first lot to thin it was a bit dry my girls still ate it.The next lot ok.l found the smell wasnt as nice as the balanced bestie .My girls didnt worry about that.
Thank you Maureen! Smell is a funny thing isn't it? I've had a couple of people say the same as you and others, myself included, love the smell and think it's nutty-sort of and spicy. Glad it tasted good to your girls though!
Our dogs are important members of our family and I like fussing over them. At the same time I don't forget that they are a different species and therefore have completely different dietary requirements. Since our dogs go for long walks and are generally kept very active it is important for me that they don’t eat empty calories but instead everything they eat is good for them and provides them with the energy they need. I was very excited when I was asked to test Crikkies since I love trying new healthy ways to feed our dogs. I bought some cheap cookie cutters from the supermarket and even though I have very limited cooking and baking skills the biscuits turned out great. While they were in the oven our dog Sylvester waited in front of the oven to make sure he wouldn’t miss his treats once they were finished. All three dogs loved them. I would definitely recommend them since they are such a fun way to reward your dog.
Thanks so much for being a tester, and for your great review! We are so thrilled Sylvester and co like them…
I thoroughly enjoyed CRIKKIES as training treats. My dogs really loved it. I think it is a unique alternative to the usual beef / chicken treats, which my dogs really enjoyed. I also loved the idea, that I can bake my own cookies., and next time I'll use my new purchased Snoopy cookie cutters.
Thank you Bente! So glad they (and you) enjoyed them!
I love my bake yo cricket treats .♡
Oh, that is priceless...
I'm happy to announce that we were chosen to be testers for this product. I have a fussy little one and I am excited to say that he loves his bake yo cricket treats. And they are quite tasty if I should say so myself. I have a habit of tasting a tiny bit of what I give my little boy except for Raw meat of course.. what an amazing guilt-free product. And you have the privilege of making it yourself.. I recommend this amazing products to every pet parent, you will love yourself for it. Knowing that you are feeding an amazing complete and balanced healthy treat to your fur babies is an amazing feeling.
Thanks so much Ann for being an early tester and for your great feedback. We're super-thrilled you and your little one love them! (And thanks for that special line...you know which one!)
Love Love Love!! My 3 fur babies thought Christmas had come early when I began making these Crikkies over the weekend. Not to mention how pleased they were when they all got to take turns in licking the bowl This product is such a great idea, especially for us Raw Feeders that are extremely conscious about what we feed our pups. The ingredient list is so interesting and so well thought out. I never knew Crickets were so nutritious!! They are also SUPER EASY to make, even for a novice cook like myself Thanks again Bestie for making yet another fantastic, highly palatable and healthy product for our beloved fur babies.
Thanks so much Lauren - it was a bit of an experiment to begin with but I'm thrilled that you and your pack love them. (And thanks for being an early tester!)
We were one of the lucky ones to test out the Bake-Yo-Crikkies. I am a raw feeder so I am all about making my own treats and knowing EXACTLY what my babies are getting! Full of only the best ingredients you know you are feeding high quality treats, you can also have some fun with them if you are feeling like getting yo bake on I wasn’t aware of Cricket Powder being a ‘thing’ and how beneficial it actually is - we will be including it more in our diets that’s for sure! Thanks again Bestie another great product!
Thanks heaps for this - and for taking the time to test and give us your insights. Much appreciated!
