What's your b's favorite food?

Basenji Feeding
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

  • We use Timberwolf - Lamb Barley & Apples

    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.

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Whipped cream straight from the can… all of mine line up for a "squirt"... it is too funny... at times they look like mad dogs frothing at the mouth....

  • Our favorite used to be scrambled eggs, but now it's broccoli. She can't get enough of it!

  • Joey's breeder suggested raw meat mixed with dry kibble and vegis. He loves carrots, but they have to be firm! We give him a raw egg yolk 2-3 times/wk. Flaxseed oil was suggested for his coat.

  • He is feed once in the morning and gets treats later in the day

  • We feed our dogs Royal Canin dog food, with a mix of Veggies and some meat (rabbit, beef, chicken,or venison) at times mixed in. We feed once a day in the evening with morning treats.

  • Hmmm. Is there a reason for feeding in the pm vs am? What treats do you use?

  • Just read the "how often thread"…guess it's what works as far as time and how often.

    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 hate one-sided media-attention crap like that. Sure she can sue, and hope they'd rather pay her than take her to court. But the FACT is simple– at this point it is every company, not just theirs that has REPORTED issues. The FACT is that the FDA and independent labs have YET to find any problem EXCEPT with people overfeeding the product in some cases. The FACT is that unless they have proven an issue, they cannot be forced to pull off the shelves. Would I feed anything from China? NO, which is why I spent nearly an hour yesterday picking out the dog treats. But without proof, she is just another frivolous sue-happy person hoping to make a buck.

    And many of the premium canned foods are fine to mix it… I happen to make my own "wet" mix and I always recommend that dry is mixed with something regardless if you make it yourself or use a good canned food.... Cause it gets pretty boring to just eat the same old dry day after day after day (In my opinion)

    @JazzysMom: Funny – Jazzy is my dog that is not in a hurry for food {although treats do exite her}; she doesn't run to the bowl, takes a long time to eat, etc. And she is the one with the weight struggles. I have to watch her intake closely or she chunks up pretty fast. Keoki is our pig. He lives for food, glorious food! He'd stuff himself sick if we let him. Yet he is our leanest dog -- not skinny, but not an ounce of extra fat on him either. You'd think it'd be the opposite, wouldn't you? our house is the opposite. Dash is much slower to eat than Sissy. We have had to become creative to get him to eat quickly so she doesn't end up eating it all.
