Butu's Bed…

Basenji Talk
  • I bought Butu a "Really Tough Tuffie" from Tuffies, as it came with a money back guarantee (which I was convinced I'd be using!) It made a huge difference to his behaviour - I no longer get multiple Basenji 500s every night. So I bought him a Tuffie nest as a crate/travelling one and he loves that very much too. They are very well made and apart from the "Really Tough Tuffie", which a friend calls his 'Kryptonite' bed, come in lots of nice colours. Butu's nest is blue with a Black Watch tartan fleece. I'm seriously considering getting a flat bed for him with a mudproof cover for the car. They are not the cheapest on the market, but neither are they the most expensive, and, in the case of the "RTT", I do not envisage having to replace it for many years. I have no connection with the company, save as a really satisfied customer. As we're talking beds, before I discovered Tuffies, I was considering Orvis - but they are very pricey - anyone any experience with Orvis beds?

  • Oops, forgot the url for UK customers…and forgot to mention that they will make bespoke beds too...

  • Never really knew about the Orvis stuff…would surely try one for my pet!!

  • Do let me know how you get on…they do look lovely!

    My dog had an adverse reaction to the Heartworm edible I gave her, do you possibly give one? if so is it maybe related to that? I had to switch brands and she still doesnt feel well for 1 to 2 days after I give it, but it is not as bad as the other brand. Her symptoms were changes in consistency and color and frequency of bowel movements, she didnt eat, and didnt want to be bothered. And she ate grass.
  • I have ''issues'' with my basenji, can you help ?

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D
  • 2 B's or NOT 2 B's…. That is the question!!!!

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…
  • Who's training whom?!?!

    Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!
