Austin, TX - March 26, 2026 - The team behind Bernie’s Best, known for its functional, science-backed supplements for dogs, has launched Bernie’s University, a free, wiki-style canine health database designed to make trustworthy research-driven dog health information easier to find, understand, and connect.
Bernie’s University began as an internal staff knowledge base project. While researching new ingredients and answering customer questions about Bernie’s Best supplements, the team built extensive documentation: summaries of studies, ingredient analyses, and notes on health conditions and therapies. Over time, that internal library became too valuable to keep private.
With canine health information increasingly scattered across blogs, social media, and other sources, Bernie’s University was created to give dog parents a single place to explore evidence-based information, without oversimplification.
“We kept getting incredible questions from dog parents: thoughtful ones that deserved more than a quick customer service reply or a short blog post,” said Emily Halaszynski, Director of Educational Initiatives at Bernie’s Best. “We wanted a place where we could share everything we’ve learned, in one interconnected resource that’s easy to explore.”
Built with that spirit, Bernie’s University connects individual topics about hundreds of aspects of dog health. It covers areas such as health conditions, ingredients, veterinary strategies, and more. Each topic overview is written in plain language but grounded in credible sources, including peer-reviewed research, veterinary guidance, and ingredient science, with citations woven throughout. Topics are linked together with handy “connecting the dots” explanations so readers can see how the topics really relate to each other. Glossary-style “at a glance" definitions are included to keep users grounded while exploring complex ideas.
The site includes sections such as General Health Topics, Health Conditions, Therapeutic Interventions, Lifestyle Strategies, and detailed pages on Foods and Nutrients. It functions as both a reference library and a learning tool; something between an encyclopedia, a database, and a practical guide for curious dog lovers.
“We’re a small team, and we’ve been working hard on this behind the scenes for years. We haven’t found anything else quite like it online, so it’s really built from scratch with a lot of love,” added Halaszynski. “This first public release of Bernie’s University offers a growing, up-to-date resource, with new topics planned and regular content reviews to reflect evolving science that we’ll continue building and refining as we go.”
At launch, Bernie’s University includes hundreds of interconnected pages, with new ones added weekly. It is free to use, open to all, and designed to grow alongside new research. The goal is to help dog lovers learn trustworthy, evidence-based information in one convenient place.
The platform also includes a Bernie’s Philosophy page, which outlines the team’s approach to whole-dog care and how factors like nutrition, behavior, and environment work together over time. It offers practical context to help dog parents make more informed, everyday decisions, with a focus on supporting both lifespan and healthspan.

About Bernie’s Best
Bernie’s Best was founded by Jim and Christie Finnigan to create the best possible health supplements for their dog, Bernie, the company’s namesake and daily inspiration. When nothing on the market quite met Bernie’s needs, they decided to make their own. The team developed Perfect Poop, a 4-in-1 digestive supplement designed to simplify gut health and make life easier for dogs and their families. The results changed everything, first for Bernie, then for thousands of dogs across the country.
From there, Bernie’s Best products expanded to a group of science-backed, easy-to-serve supplements made with love, research, and a deep respect for dogs as family.
