Our story
We live in tandem with our dogs.
Tandem started with one miniature dachshund called Chuck and a search for supplements we could actually trust. Every blend is made in New Zealand and taste-tested by our four dachshunds: Chuck, Darcy, Edison and Fiadh.

Why Tandem?
We sleep, walk, play and live in tandem with our dogs. When they’re good, we’re good. When they’re not, we feel it too. For all of us animals, nutrition is key.
You are what they eat.
From our founder
Why I started Tandem
Chuck is a miniature dachshund with a big personality and a bad back. After four IVDD surgeries, and learning to walk again after each one, I went looking for supplements I could trust to support him. Most were long on marketing and short on evidence. So I started Tandem to make them.
From day one the rule was research first, not clever marketing. That’s why we went to the animal scientists at Massey University.
Today there are four of them. Chuck, Darcy, Edison and Fiadh are the inspiration behind every blend we make, and they taste-test every one.

Developed with Massey University
Research first. Then the formula.
We partnered with the Massey University School of Animal Sciences on the design, formulation and testing of BONE+JOINT and CALM+CHILL, and that principle still decides what goes in every tin.

Designed
Ingredients and doses chosen with Massey’s animal scientists, starting from the research.
-
Formulated
Refined together into a daily blend that's balanced, nutritious and easy to give.
