From Our Founder
Tandem was born out of my unwavering commitment to providing the very best for my three miniature dachshunds, Chuck, Darcy, and Edison. As I grappled with the challenges of finding effective, proven, and high-quality supplements to support Chuck during his recovery from four IVDD surgeries and to prevent further recurrences, I realised that a solution was missing in the market.

Tom had recently been seen by a canine physio who picked up some muscle weekness in his back legs. I had researched and wanted something with vitamin c in it which I found hard to source. We were already using GLM but I wanted something a wee bit extra. Then Tandem bought this out and it’s a daily preventative supplement for us now. Many of the ingredients are in my own joint supplements. Investing in his future health is a priority and to see this is backed up by Massey University gives me complete confidence in the high grade product.
I have the pleasure of owning 2 miniature schnauzers who led very sheltered lives, with a DogsNZ breeder on a quiet property in rural Waikato, before being rehomed with me. I have had Reily 3½ years and Quita 2 years.
Reily was reserved and reactive when in a stressful situation. She was terrified of anything unknown, car travel, neighbours, traffic on the road etc. She slowly improved but I still had concerns about her nervousness which manifested as agression sometimes. Quita was more confident and has adjusted to her new life more quickly. She loves people but was unable to socialise well with other dogs, which has been difficult when walking on the beach everyday where I live.
I had no issues introducing CALM+CHILL to the girls. They love the taste and lick up every last crumb in their bowls. The change in my girls has been remarkable. Reily is still a bit wary of new experiences but is more inclined to be curious rather than frightened. She's a changed girl, confident, happy, playful and keen to meet people and other dogs. Quita, although always confident and fond of people, has become much calmer and less confronting around unknown dogs. She has a very relaxed (chilled) way about her now. Walking her is much more fun!
I am so pleased with the changes CALM+CHILL has made in my 2 girls lives, especially Reily. She has a real love of life now rather that being constantly fearful. I have enjoyed seeing her grow in confidence and show her real, cheeky, loving personality. I have even had my neighbour asked what has happened to Reily as she's so full of bounce, playful and happy now. That says it all!
When Mika our 12 year old Siberian Husky lost her best friend of 11 years, her whole world flipped upside down💔
Mika has always been sensitive, but after Roko passed she was constantly pacing, barking, trying to chew her way into the house when we left and even ripping pieces from the fence trying to escape and find us. She was genuinely panicking and starting to hurt herself in the process 😞
With help from our trusted vet, Mika was started on an medication daily to help keep her calm while we were at work. We knew this wasn’t something we wanted long term, so we started trialling CALM+CHILL alongside her treatment.
The difference has honestly blown us away ❤️ Mika is now completely off medication and with CALM+CHILL as part of her routine she is noticeably calmer at home, can self-settle when we leave and her pacing has reduced significantly.
For us, the pacing was one of the biggest signs of her stress, so seeing that change has meant everything. CALM+CHILL contains ingredients chosen to support calm behaviour and help dogs manage stress and while every dog is different, we’ve genuinely seen a difference in Mika.
After losing her best friend, we just wanted Mika to feel safe and like herself again. Seeing her finally able to relax has been incredible. 🥹❤️
We’ve been trialling CALM+CHILL with Max for the last few months and honestly, the difference has been life changing.
Max is the definition of an over excited, highly stimulated Staffy. He feels everything at 110% and while his enthusiasm is one of the things we love most about him, helping him regulate and settle himself at home has always been a challenge.
Since introducing CALM+CHILL into his routine, we’ve noticed such a positive change in his ability to switch off and regulate himself. He seems calmer, more settled and much better able to manage all those big Staffy emotions without constantly needing to be on the go.
What we love most is that it hasn’t changed who Max is, he’s still his cheeky, cuddly and energetic self but he seems to have found a much better balance between excitement and calm.
After several months of using it, we can genuinely say that CALM+CHILL has made a huge difference to our everyday life with Max. It’s become a regular part of his routine and we wouldn’t want to be without it.
Tandem’s new CALM+CHILL is not “just another ashwagandha” product out on the market. They have worked very closely with Massey to pick the right ingredients that help & support one another for our cats & dogs.
We used to sprinkle plain ashwagandha on Lucy's food prior to big events to help her nervous system, which we saw great results with but when Tandem told us about their specialised formula we knew we had to give it a try as I trust that they had a reason for each additional ingredient.
Lucy loves CALM+CHILL so much that she will happily lick it straight from the container, but it’s also suitable for sprinkling over their meals or turning it into a warm fluffy for the pups to enjoy on a cold winters morning..
I have personally seen a major improvement with Lucy as the additional ingredients compared to only ashwagandha have helped her regulate emotions and reactivity in new or unsure environments, Lucy has always been a quieter dog with new places or situations, I have noticed her being more confident & trusting that something isn’t always going to happen when she tries something new.
We started using Tandems CALM+CHILL Powder with Cooper after weaning him off his medication, and I’ve been genuinely so impressed with how well he has been doing.
Coming off medication was something I was quite nervous about. I wanted something that could give him a little extra support while still allowing him to be completely himself.
Since adding CALM+CHILL to his routine, we’ve continued to see so much progress. He seems more settled, is recovering from stressful situations much quicker, and we’ve had some really positive experiences out on walks and around other dogs. He’s still Cooper, it hasn’t changed his personality or made him sleepy or “zoned out”, he just seems better able to cope when something does worry him.
CALM+CHILL is only one part of the picture alongside all of the training and confidence building we’ve done with him, and every dog is different, but for Cooper it has become a product I’m really happy to keep as part of his daily routine.
Bo is a 5 year old GWP. IYKYK,
He has always been one of a two dog household and has a selected human out of the family. If either of them are away from him he would pace, stress pant, destroy stuff and generally have a terrible time. The reunion with his human is always really intense. Loud noises also stress him out.
Being part of this trial has been a actual god send for Bo. During the trial he’s has some massive changes which I believe it would have been so hard on him if it wasn’t for CALM+CHILL.
In the first few weeks his human who has always worked from home with him has started working away from the house and 5 weeks ago his companion dog passed away.
Since being on CALM+CHILL he calms so much quicker in a stressful situation, he hasn’t destroyed anything when left alone. And when Duke passed he acclimatised well. He now also chooses to settle himself alone if his human is busy in the house instead of being constantly at her side and reunions are much more calmer.
An added bonus is that CALM+CHILL hasn’t dulled Bo’s personality, just given him a calmness that helps him regulate himself.
We had the privilege of trialing CALM+CHILL from Tandem, and it has made a noticeable difference in helping manage Alfie’s stress levels.
We first started using CALM+CHILL when we moved houses. Moving was a big change for Alfie, but with the help of CALM+CHILL, he was able to settle into the new house relatively smoothly. There are still some areas we’re working on, but the difference compared to how Alfie is without CALM+CHILL is significant.
Alfie is also a very energetic dog. Even after going on adventures for 2+ hours, he would come home and immediately look for his ball to play again. One of the biggest changes we’ve noticed since starting CALM+CHILL is his behaviour at night. Alfie used to take a long time to settle and would constantly seek attention or want to play. Now, he is much more relaxed and can peacefully chill without needing to play every second of the evening.
At his previous vet, Alfie was never interested in being patted or interacting with the staff. Since starting CALM+CHILL, he has come a long way. He’s made lots of human friends at the new clinic and has even started giving the team lots of kisses, which is very unlike him!
Of course, he’s still hesitant when it comes to actual procedures, but CALM+CHILL seems to take the edge off and helps him stay a little more relaxed.
Every little bit counts, and that’s why we’ve been loving CALM+CHILL.
We love PRE+PRO! My dog finally has regular daily 💩 and it is great at settling his tummy if he ever eats something he’s not supposed to. He always gets excited for his pink PRE+PRO soup at dinner time.
We’ve been using Tandem’s New Zealand Pumpkin Powder for quite some time now, and it has become a regular part of Nori’s meals. I love that it’s made with natural ingredients and is a simple way to support his gut health and digestion.
The best part is that Nori absolutely loves it. It’s so easy to add to his food, and knowing I’m giving him something natural and beneficial makes me feel good too. Definitely one of those products we’re happy to keep using as part of his everyday routine.
This has been a fantastic addition to our nightly supplement routine at dinnertime. Tandem for life!
Our Westiepoo Phoebe had double TPLO surgery first Dec 25 right hind & then Jan 26 left hind leg. Part of her recovery we decided to start her on your super food powder and we believe it has made such a positive impact on her recovery. She is now back to her usual happy playful self.
The best supplement out there!
This has worked absolute wonders on our dogs stools and their skin and coat. The difference is crazy and will definitely be a permanent addition to our dogs diets. 10/10
Before adding pre + pro to our packs diet we were dealing with inconsistent pooping in texture and odour, they were constantly runny cow patties and very stinky, since adding pre + pro we have seen a dramatic change in their poop, it’s always solid and doesn’t stink (as much as poo can smell 🤣) and they all seem to be having less bloating and are having less issues with itchy feet as well which has been a bonus!
Started using this product around a month ago, my 3 Daschunds not only love it on their food, but it truly has improved coat condition and one of them had skin issues which this has helped with.
