Carnibest, Mirtillo's new food


  • 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.

    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)

    @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

    In Australia, (especially in Tasmania :rolleyes:), we have none of the brands of dog food that you guys are talking about… We feed a premium dry food to our 2 B's, in the morning, which I might add, neither eat much of :). In the evening they get dry with a little wet food mixed in, also warmed up. Both of them get a 1000mg Omega 3 capsule, and the difference in their coat is incredible. Both had quite dry, flakey, scurfy coats, and our Vet suggested this, and I couldnt be happier with the results. Im new to the breed, and my mentor lives interstate, so all that I am doing, is trial and error ;). Just a couple of weeks ago, I was showing Ochre, and the judge was going over her coat, again and again, on the table... I was thinking she didnt like her coat, and was dreading what she might say to me !!! I was pleasantly surprised when she actually said that Ochre had the most correct coat that she had touched in the last 12-18 months :D. Thankfully the sun was out, just long enough for the B judging, and she literally glistened in the sunshine. This judge also commented on her bright whites, and shiny red colouring. She said, I dont know what you are doing with her coat, but, please keep it up... I was over the moon with these comments :).

    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.
