My Valentino had terrible dandruff. His vet said it was due to dry skin. She had me add Goat's milk and coconut oil to his diet. His dandruff lessened dramatically after about a month. The amount of coconut oil (solid or liquid) per day should be no more than 1 teaspoon per 10lbs of body weight. Valentino is about 27 lbs. so I give him about 2.5-3 teaspoons a day. I divide the amount in half and add it too his meals. I feed goat milk rarely because it is so high in calories.
Basenji familiar Vet/ upstate NY?????

I'm sure this is a longshot but was wondering if anyone can recommend a Vet in Upstate NY that's familiar with our breed. I'm looking to change vets for my two. I'm in the Albany/Schenectady/Amsterdam area. Any help would be great as I don't know ANYONE one else that has Basenji's!!

Not sure exactly where Sue is in NY, but you might want to give her a try. Here is a link to her website and you can find her email there. Drop her a note..

The other person I was thinking of was Jean Martin…isn't she in upstate NY? Tommy, she's a breeder and her info is on the breeder directory (organized by state) on the BCOA website: basenji.org. You might try emailing her.
I found my new vet thru a breeder (that my breeder had mentioned).

Sue is a breeder also… so maybe between the two they can come up with some suggestions for you

Thanks guys, I did email Sue at apubasenji's and she forwarded my email to someone on the board who lives close to me. The vet I've been using is fine but I really don't think he's all that familiar with Basenji's and I would rather take my two to someone who is!!
