What's your b's favorite food?

[ChristyRutherford]

@pelican:

Make a salad and my two Bs are there in a flash.
They love zuchinni and radishes.

Squiggy is that way also. Give him a vegie or better yet a fruit and he is all happy.
He gets so excited when I have fruit. He loves grapes (which I dont give to him anymore), so now his new favorite is watermellon, strawberries, and tomatos.
He turns his nose to bread, crackers, pretzles and popcorn.

My two eat anything we're eating! Their food is Wellness mixed in with water and a few scoops of Merricks (anything) on top.
They love cottage cheese; cheese; meat/chicken; egg; oatmeal in the winter and hamburger meat. They won't eat veggies. I've tried and unless it's covered with a gravey, they just won't eat it. Savannah likes peaches in small pieces.

I feed Duke the Original Science Diet for puppies. I'm not sure it's OK to give him anything different for fear of messing up his digestive tract. Does anyone give their Basenji fish oil or olive oil in their food to keep their coat healthy and shiny? A groomer suggested I do that. I'm waiting to get my copy of the Basenji Owner's Manual. What type of food is best for the Basenji? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I just feed Jazzy Purina puppy chow – she's 1 /12 yrs old. She has a beautiful coat; soft and shiny. She appears to be very healthy and is definitely active {despite how she appears at those shows, Bryan. LOL}.

I don't give any supplements besides the usual doggie "snacks"-- rawhide, peanut butter stuffed bones, grilled chicken strips, etc.

Unfortunately for me, my Weim masi, is allergic to beef, so I can't give beef based treats in the house, so for the most part they get all natural treats, and practically no store bought treats. They go crazy for frozen peas and icecubes. We feed a bunch of different foods, I like to switch around every couple of months or so between Solid Gold Wolf King (Bison and Salmon….no beef ;)), Canidea (turkey, chicken, lamb), and Innova (either the VO, or regular).

Luckily we have a large plethra of cultures moving into our little city, so there are some really yummy things at the grocery store to feed my guys, like chicken feet and fresh green tripe (the later unfortunately is from a cow). I was told yesterday that they had Lamb HEADS the other day!!! Needless to say I was all excited.

They don't get the very very special treats too often but they sure do love them when they do. I get them marrow bones too....I have to take out the marrow for masi to eat it unfortunately, but every so often we can get lamb ones from the butcher. If I could I would feed a complete raw diet, but I can't manage that currently, so they get supplemented raw/fresh foods with their kibble, and the Kibble is the highest quality available.

They don't get rawhide, but they get pig/cow hooves every so often. For some reason Masi can have have the hooves, I think its because they don't have any meat proteins in them, because hooves are made from the same thing that Hair is made from, technically its "dead". So, she can have those. I give them dehydrated chicken breasts, they like those, and Turkey/Lamb Jerky from solid gold. Pretty much anything dog safe they get to eat

I used to give Jazzy pig ears, but had to stop that. The gas was killing us all! LOL So, now she just gets beef and chicken based treats.
She did love those pig ears!

[Lenora]

Abbey loves dry food and and also gets half a pouch of moist food daily. I hold up two or three choices–chicken, beef or lamb--and she paws the one she wants. She loves any vegetable raw or cooked. She loves scrambled eggs, and likes to watch the entire process when I make them from carton to pan. She does not like fruit, bread, crackers, or milk, although she gets a few licks of yogurt occasionally.

[Bettawhippet]

Kiora loves food….she is very food motivated. I feed all my dogs Healthwise Chicken and Oatmeal, as training treats I use Bil Jac Liver treats, and for chewing on I use Peanut butter filled Kongs and occasionally a pressed Rawhide "bone". She loves soda also...if someone sets their soda on the floor she comes and knocks it over so that she can drink some...naughty puppy...lol.

[jessi76]

Tucker eats SG hund n flocken w/ a scoop or 2 of Merrick or Wellness canned on top.

He loves people food (cheese, chicken, tuna, beef, etc..) but I think his favorite training treat is Liver Biscotti.

Occassionally he'll get a filled hoof, or a bully stick to gnaw on, but those are few and far between.

[youngandtired]

Sahara is fed Beneful Puppy dry with Beneful Moist on top. She loves them all, but Lamb/Rice the most. Sahara also loves doggie Ice Cream Treats, pretzels, Liver treats, grilled chicken and Dingo chicken/rawhide stick treats. She also likes watermelon, frozen green beans and ice (crushed from the ice maker). She loves Southern Ice Tea with sugar and Lemon, she is such a southern bell. haha

[JazzysMom]

Jazzy has learned how to pick blueberries off our bushes. She very daintily picks the berry, never pulls a leaf. The green berries get spit out, the ripe ones get eaten! It's hilarious to watch!

[ChaseandZahrasmom]

I feed Chase (Puggle) and Zahra (Basenji) Eagle Pack Holistic

As for other weird things they eat they both love carrots, spinach, apples, and anything else that we have.

[lauralopez]

My two eat Wellness dry and Merricks (any kind) wet. They love the Merricks!

[Theo_Baroos]

We use Timberwolf - Lamb Barley & Apples

http://www.timberwolforganics.com/product_p/lba.33.htm

It's great for basenji's sensitive tummies - really pure products, good essential oils. We started him on it even as a puppy (recommended by the breader), we tried to switch him to a more generic brand and our basenji would have nothing to do with that change.

[Sunny]

I feed Sandie pedigree puppy… she also likes carrots, broclie, small pieces of cheese, chicken, she usually like to taste what ever her humans are having... i also give her chicken puppy biscuts, and the small round raw hides...

[youngandtired]

Be careful with that round rawhide, Sahara almost chocked (spelling) on a round rawhide and she is 8 mos. old. I talked to my vet about rawhide and she said to always pay close attention anytime she is chewing on rawhide, and the bones shape ones are best. Check out the Dingo brand chicken/rawhide sticks, Sahara loves them, they are at Walmart. :o

[Sunny]

Oh Sandie is always supervised with rawhides she chews them usually laying at my feet… i get the really small round ones so incase she swallows to big of piece she hopefully wont get it impacted ... but i will check out the brand you suggested...

[brenda]

We feed ours Merrick canned and dry also. I could eat it myself. Smells good and does not cause runny movements. No rawhides here, it seemed to make ours too agressive. We do the dried chicken, expensive but no fat and they like it for a treat. Greenies once or twice a month, when I need a half hour to myself. I have used supplemental vitamines occasionly but with the Merrick they do not seem to be necessary. We do not feed human food ever.

[JazzysMom]

Define "human food" Does that mean no veggies or fruit or anything like that too?
I think of "human food" as prepared, processed foods.
We do feed our dogs limited foods like that {peanut butter in any form excites them, as do cheez-its and vanilla wafers {thanks to my hubby's habit of snacking with the dogs} }, but they also like some veggies, eggs, etc.

[Sunny]

I finally found something Sandie will just not eat… she dislikes lettuce... i always let her taste what were having for dinner ... She ate the tomatoe but the lettuce she spit out ... She loves the broclie in broclie beef... Its almost to the point i am gonna have to get the large container now instead of the small one... Only thing i havent let her try is sweets... we really dont have much sweets... peanut butter i guess is a sweet and she does like that... along with apples and banana's
