Can nutraceutical supplements really have an impact on your dog's anxious behaviour?

Whether it's genetics, environment or something else, some dogs are very anxious. Shadowing you, freaking out at sounds, excessive licking, and making a break while you’re away, are common signs of anxiety. They're also far more prevalent than you think. At Bestie Kitchen, we and our consulting in...

L-Theanine is a type of amino acid that is the main component of green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis). It’s known for its relaxing effects on both humans and animals. Here we look at how it works - and particularly its role in glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). These are the major neurotransmitters in the mammalian brain and inhibitory GABA and excitatory glutamate work together to control many processes, including the brain’s overall level of excitation.

Did you know that about 40% of dogs in Australia and 56% of dogs in the US are overweight or obese? 🙀 Many cats face the same issue too. Just like with humans, pet obesity has become an epidemic—and it’s affecting their quality of life in serious ways.

One simple but powerful way to tackle this? Portion control! 🍗

💡 Check your pet food packaging for feeding guidelines, or talk to your vet to calculate the perfect portion for your pet's age, breed, and activity level.

🐺 Big dogs with wolf-like mouths have an easier time keeping their teeth clean naturally.

🦴 But for smaller breeds and flat-faced (brachycephalic) dogs, chewing bones might not be enough. Their unique jaw shapes can make it harder for abrasive chewing to clean their teeth properly.

Make sure your pup gets the best care for their pearly whites! 🐾

Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a superfood. This ancient fruit originated from the Mediterranean region, tropical Africa, and Southeast Asia. It’s has been described in religious books as one of the paradise fruits. Today, various scientific studies are focused on pomegranate’s nutritional value and therapeutic actions such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant properties. However, it’s also high in ellagic acid. Ellagic acid is responsible for the antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects of pomegranate. More

Our pets can’t tell us when they’re stressed—but they show us in ways we often miss. 🐾 From pacing and excessive licking to hiding or even acting out, stress can look different in every pet. The tricky part? Sometimes they show multiple, even conflicting signs at once! 😕 Pay attention to changes in behaviour—your pet might be asking for help. 🐩

Every ingredient has a purpose—here’s what’s inside our Superfood Oil Blend. 🐶

Is your pet stressed? 🐩 Adaptogens help balance their body’s response to stress—naturally! 🌿🐾 Watch to learn how!

We all know that not all plants are safe for cats—especially since they love to nibble on greenery. 🌿☘️ But beyond just avoiding toxic plants, why not create a garden that your cat will actually enjoy? 😸

🐶 Many pet foods have too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3, but adding omega-3s, especially from fish oil, can offer great health benefits for your dog. Here’s why supplementing with essential fatty acids is a good idea! 👀💡

We’re on a mission to change the way we feed our dogs...and now, cats.

IT ALL BEGAN WITH MONDOE

I’m a foodie. I’m also a dog-parent. Over 10 years or so, as our little dog Mondoe inched closer to 22 years old, we moved further and further away from processed food. For ages we tried kibble for what I thought was ‘the balanced stuff’ with fresh lean mince on top. But both Mondoe and pack-partner, 18-year old Alfy (seen with me up top), ate the mince…and left the kibble. (Then I found out how bad kibble was.)

We always seemed to end up throwing the kibble out. We moved to air-dried, freeze-dried – you name it, we tried it. But fast never worked as well as fresh.

The truth is that Mondoe loved nothing more than the chicken soup my partner Michael makes for me when I have a cold – the broth, the chicken, the veges. Both he and Alfy woofed that down. (Sorry.) As time went on, we made more and more homemade food. But was it balanced? Not entirely. And so my quest to feed my besties the fresh and balanced meals they needed, began.
