  • Hi all…

  • i have no recepies, i make my own dog food most of the time as well and it is quite easy:

    cooked rice or cooked noodles ( I prefer noodles as that has more energy for my dogs )
    then you add raw beef , mince, chicken, liver, kidneys , lamb whatever kind of meat, or fish !
    and if you wish you can also add some mashed veggies and/ or herbs.

    By the way I only give noodles in the winter when they can use a bit more energy / fat.
    otherwise I mainly feed them raw and also bones and fresh tripe etc. But I guess that is not what you meant ;)

    I will continue this topic in the FOOD FORUMS since likely this is not a health issue at this time: http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=7726&page=2 Thank you everyone for you comments, I am new here, and new to Basenji's so all the help is appreciated. The longer I keep little Benji confined, the more destruction he starts doing to the laundry room! :D

    mmm Sounds Tasty. I cooked Cairo's food for the first few years, then moved him to a raw meat diet for a few years. We had a Dalmation who liked raw food, and though she mothered Cairo he would eat this food unusually fast to stop her from getting it first. But when she died, he went off the raw meat so I resummed cooking it up. These days I find he prefers cooked food and eats more of it than with the raw stuff. But it never seemed to do him any harm so good luck with finding a diet that your B likes.

    The poor baby! ((Hugs)) to you both. I will keep Cairo in my thoughts and prayers that an alternative treatment or solution can be found.

    I use the Life Abudance and alternate between Paula Newmans. My dogs love it. Their coats look great. I totally support both of those dog foods.
