Natural Balance

Basenji Puppy Pen
  • MantisM

    Natural Balance makes a sensitive diet for older dogs and it can be used as a complete diet for puppies as well. It doesnt contain soy, wheat, corn or rice….Duck and Potato....I have been feeding it to my adult B and will be soon feeding the wet food to the new puppy. They say no supplements are needed. This food doesnt have preservative and usually can be purchased at a feed store.

    Another quality brand food is Innova.....

    The Natural Balance Rolls are great for training treats. You can cut them into nice pea sized bites and since it is a complete food it can be substituted for their normal food. Mine dogs love it. We buy a large roll and cut up and keep it in a canister in the fridge so we have some on hand when we need it.

    I know too many puppies and dogs injured or killed due to collars left on unattended. Not worth the risk.

    @jhewell What more is there to say ? You have put it brilliantly ! A friend who has Persian Blues, I think they are called, and Basenjis operates on a two tier level. The cats are fed on the kitchen work-surface and enter and leave the house via the kitchen window onto a garden table. Once outside they are more than able to take care of themselves. Indoors the cats have perches and climbing frames the dogs don't manage to fathom. All is perfectly harmonious. No cat dares come into my garden. They haven't for years, through endless and changing packs of Basenjis. Occasionally one will come down the drive and sit in the sun by the cars but they never try to come over any gate into Basenji home turf. You are going to have endless 'fun' ! Good luck -

    Like much internet advice I find short answers incomplete - and mine was. I really want to ad that making a crate/xpen/gated puppy area should never be seen as "punishment". These partitioned puppy areas should be conditioned to be safe places for a puppy/dog. Mine, thankfully, tolerates and even likes her xpens probably because it's where she eats, receives treats, sleeps, chews and even plays. This took about a week or so. Now she voluntarily goes into her xpens (in my case) on her own and when she's put there involuntarily she might whine for a minute before settling down with a chew and/or going to sleep.

    @creambasenji said in New Puppy Advice: She's 9 months and 8.5 pounds. Doesn't seem she will be getting any bigger This must be a typo. 9 months or 9 weeks? At any rate, I'd love to see a picture of a cream Basenji, toy or not.

    I used Orijen for a few months. Our boy seemed to like it, but sometimes he would skip a meal. But then we switched to Nature's Variety and he seems to like it even better, hasn't missed a meal in over a year! Both great dog foods though!
