Carnibest, Mirtillo's new food

Basenji Feeding
  • Mmmm. Looks yummy !:p
    The petshop around the corner is selling "Duck" raw food fot now but he will switch to "Farmfood" by the end of the year. Any experiences with "Farmfood" ?
    And keep sending lots of great pictures of Mirtillo please !
    Greetz from Belgium:)

  • There are a lot of grains in Duck, so that wouldn't be my choice.
    Farmfood isn't raw food, but kibble: www.farmfood.nl I think it's a good choice if you want to feed kibble. Do you know this site: www.hondenforum.nl ? Here you can find some diffirent opinions about farmfood. (and about all the other dog subjects :))

  • Thnx for the info ! ;)
    And please keep us informed about the switch to frozen raw.
    The more I read about the benefits of feeding raw the more I get convinced in trying it when we get our pup. I received my copy of "Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health For Dogs & Cats" from Beagle Books California a few days ago. It gives a lot of information on BARFing but that's the theory. I wonder how Mirtillo is doing it on the yummy Carnibest Red in practice?:confused:

  • another good forum: http://www.barfplaats.nl/forum/index.php

    Mirtillo is still doing great. I switched to Carnibest 'cold turkey', so without mixing it first with his former kibble. It didn't bother him at all. He has no diarrhea or something like that. His coat is still shiny and he is still very active :)

    The only problem I have is that I still have 8 kilo of his other food :rolleyes:

  • Hi Janneke. Just returned from a 4 week vacation in Portugal. How is Mirtillo doing on Carnibest ? I looked at the most recent pictures of him and he looks great. Very nice boy !:)

  • He's doing great! He gained some pounds and that's a good thing! Last week he had some diarrhea.. but that was because of him eating out of the trash can…:rolleyes:

    He really enjoys his food and I find that very important! He's jumping around and when it takes to long he's crying for it :)

    Thank you for the compliment :)

    Are you getting excited about your puppy already?? Last week I saw Alain Alaerts at the Dutch Basenji Speciality. He was second with his import male pup... but he should have won.. He brought some nice dogs with him anyway.

  • And four weeks Portugal…??? I'm jealous.. We've only had rain, rain and rain here... What about the global warming?!?! ;)

  • I received a mail from Alain yesterday telling me he acquired a male B from the US. His picture and pedigree can be found on his website :

    Really impressive.
    BTW did you spoke to him about our correspondence on the Basenji Forum ? I'll meet him next Saturday in Mechelen-Nekkerhal on a dog show and will tell him about me knowing Mirtillo (virtually ;) ). Hope to see Eldorado's Keeper of Flame on the event too.
    Also good luck with your upcoming vet study !!

  • No, I didn't speak to him. And yes, it was the Eldorado boy :) Very handsome pup :)

  • Glad he is enjoying his new food.

    I see Alain has a bitch out of my Cali's sister that was exported to the US.

  • @basi:

    Yes, Eldorado's Zari by Saqqara. He also brought her with him.

    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.

    @snorky998: Thank you, Andrew. How's Shango been? Still the adorable host at the shop? He's doing GREAT. He's still managing things at the bakery just fine though day after day he just glares up at me after a pup leaves the store- he wants another dog to play with so badly! LOL

    If I ever switch food for any reason–it's gradual. When a food is switched quickly, it can cause stomach upset, loose stools, etc.....I would get her regular food back.

    @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.
