Changing food

Basenji Talk
  • Hello! Looking to change Chupy's food from puppy food (we were doing blue buffalo dry puppy) to regular food now. Any suggestions in a brand? He is 10 mo now and I know I am way over due to upgrade to adult food.

  • I never ever feed puppy food, so I'm glad you are changing. Since he's on blue buffalo, and it's a good brand, why not switch to that? I actually rotate foods.

  • Same comments as Debra, I have never used puppy for any of my pups from the time they were old enough to eat solid food.... Don't particularly love Blue Buffalo, but any high quality kibble is fine. I use a number of different ones that way I can always change foods without any tummy upset.... I do like Fromm's Surf and Turf

  • I also use Fromm, grain free, I use a variety
    Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Grain-Free Surf & Turf Formula Dry Dog Food
    Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Grain-Free Pork & Peas Recipe Dry Dog Food
    Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Grain-Free Salmon Tunalini Recipe Dry Dog Food
    Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Pork & Applesauce Formula Dry Dog Food

    I rotate with Blue Buffalo, Honest Kitchen, Taste of the Wild and Wellness.

  • Awesome! Thank y'all so much for the help!

    I am big fan of cooking for my dog. I used to make big pots of food and freeze the portions. Lately she has been eating what I eat, I set a portion aside in her bowl (which sits on the table while I eat my dinner and then is put on the floor for her). I have to say that I do think I'm eating healthier because of concerns for her "diet". We are both a bit overweight, but conscious of it and exercising (i.e, going on long walks) as much as possible.

    Agree with all above - you also might like to try mixing a teaspoon of sardine/tuna with a little water and spreading it over the food. Good luck!

    Glad things are going so much better than you thought! Um, but can I borrow her to help with my mourning dove issue?

    @wizard: I forgot to mention that my previous basenji loved to eat rabbits that he caught and muskrats. (I did my best to get those away from him) Oh. ew. We have found one or two squirrel carcasses in the yard over time, but I'm not sure who's killing them. Gypsy has in her youth, but I'm not sure she has the eyesight or speed for that anymore, so it's probably one of the Basenjis. Grosses me out! I know they'd both like to make lunch out of my cats.
