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!

    Not sure how Xylitol is being marketed. It is an alcohol found in a lot of plants, including birch wood, which is the source of Xylitol used in medicines. And it is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. Most of the time you find it in sugarless gum and candy. Here is an FDA warning "Paws Off Xylitol": https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/paws-xylitol-its-dangerous-dogs

    I had a somewhat similar experience. Joey had a seizure which I correlate to taking Simparica. He looked terrible so took him to the vet when the first seizure happened and he was late Stage 2. Put him on Royal Canin kidney kibble and Hills kidney wet food and 4 years later he has only had 1 more seizure and his kidney values have remained constant. I will believe your homemade version is most likely better if you have the correct proportions. All the best to your Bs! Joey will be 15 in November.
