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 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.

    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)
  • "human" food or dog food?

    I once had a pup under treatment at the Bristol Veterinary hospital. When they finally sorted the problem I was told now you'll be able to give him real food meaning kibble!1 I always feed raw and whatever but never complete dog food. Having said that it seems that over here we get a new dog food manufactutrer every month and all claim that theirs is the best!!

    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.
