Which mixer ?

Basenji Feeding
  • Can anyone reccomend a good mixer biscuit to put with raw and tinned food.

  • I use Laughing Dog for Maya. She's very fussy about dry food and has a habit of picking the meat out of it, but if i soak this in warm water she eats it quite happily.

    The company we get the meat from deliver it for us so it makes life a lot easier too! :D

  • Yes, I use Laughing Dog Mixer too. Actually Bakers took over the company but have kept it much as it was.

    From other's reliable recommendation, Dene's mixer is very good too.

  • Ok, I give. English to English translation please. :D What the heck is a "mixer"? I looked up the brand but still couldn't figure out exactly what it is. :confused:

    Hi Nemo, a mixer is a biscuit mix to put with meat.

  • Thanks Jess and Helena,
    will get her some, i have been giving her complete mix biscuits on ocasions with her meat and feel it's probably too much protein ?

  • Shelley - yes, In my opinion giving Malaika a complete food as a mixer could result in her having too high a protein intake but obviously wouldn't have hurt on such a limited basis as I note you say that it is only on occasions.

    Laughing Dog had a very good reputation and used to be recommended for dogs with behavioural problems but wasn't one of the big companies. However, they branched out into the complete food business but couldn't compete with the giants and had to close! I was nearly distraught but happily others have continued to produce the same formula.

    Probably information overload, sorry!

    @Saving said in Anal Gland Health Diet Adjustment (ideas?): scavenging on walks has increased though and that's quite annoying. LOL, omgosh! The amount of food tossed on the ground is astounding! And doodle will grab it up before I have any idea it's there! I wish I had a picture of the day she pulled a (whole) bagel out of a bush!

    I would find out what he scared of or what he dislikes about the car. Is it the car itself, the sensation of being closed in, the movement when the car is being driven? Then work on whatever the problem is, with food. As for food, I use raw duck and vegetables. And I hand-feed all meals, so I never have a problem with not eating/partially eating. I would also recommend hand-feeding for anyone who does have a dog with food issues. Shredded chicken is good (as long as he doesn't have any reactions). But that and some kibble isn't a balanced meal. You may wish to look into a vitamin supplement, specifically something that has a focus on omega 3 (since chicken is high in omega 6), Vitamin C & the B vitamins (because if all he's eating is chicken and kibble, where is his source of vitamin C and the B vitamins?), zinc & copper (same reasons). All the best. EDIT: I just realized this thread is a year old and was bumped by what is almost certainly a bot.

    I know this topic is old, but I give my B freeze dried salmon bites as treats. I usually find them in the cat section
