What to mix with chicken and veggies???

Basenji Feeding
  • Be careful with broth, definately make your own, and be sure not to use broth from meats that have been roasted w/ onions.

    Whenever I make a whole chicken for dinner, I always boil the carcass for the dog. This way I make my own chicken stock, and the tiniest bits of meat come right off the bones. I usually freeze the stock, and use the chicken bits as training treats. Pour the homemade stock into ice cube trays and you'll have easy portion sized cubes that you can defrost and add to any meal.

  • jess-what a great idea!!! I would think the broth cubes works for the summer too right?! What a fab idea :D :D

  • With all due respect, I've got to disagree with whoever said "lots of veggies." Lots of meat, some veggies (if any at all), especially if you're cooking the meat. You're losing nutritional benefits by cooking it, and adding a lot of veggies further deteriorates the meal's nutritional value, since dogs' digestive systems don't process whole vegetables' nutrients well (better to puree the whole veggies and add 'em raw for their maximum benefit). JMO.

  • jys1011, yes, home made broth cubes work great in summer - as an outside treat of course. otherwise you'll get a broth puddle on your floor…

    I agree w/ gbrozon on the cooked veggie issue - very good point!

    I prefer to give my dog raw veggies, and he usually only eats carrots.

  • Thank you for the response, I love the broth cube idea! And when I cook her meat I won't add seasoning or onions and just keep it plain. The only difference is, I might cook the veggies I add because they would probably be easier on her stomach.

  • Mash the veggies up good!

  • Maybe I should try to make the homemade food with less veggies since it didn't settle well on her tummy…

  • I like to add oatmeal to my dog food. I cook that and typically, add some veggies, rice, chicken, beef - whatever I feel like adding. But the oatmeal has always settled well with everyone. IN the winter it warms tummies too.

  • Bake the chicken or pan fry with garlic powder, pepper and salt. Make the rice. Steam the veggies and mix the veggies with the rice. You could add some seasoning like sauteed onions and garlic to this for added flavor.

  • DO NOT add ONIONS - dogs can't eat ONions. Sounds good for people though

    We were in Menard's building and supply store and noticed they are carrying Colorado Naturals Chicken Jerky type treats. We did check the label and it said all USA Chicken Breast. They also had the pork and it was all USA as well. They each sold for $10.99 per bag but we did not pay attention to size of the bag. From what we remember it was pretty good size. So if there is a Menard's near you, you might want to check for this all USA product if you happen to feed these treats. Debra, thanks for the search engine tip. We sorry to hear that you have massive liver damage. We know currently that Byetta used to treat type II diabetics has been named in several law suits. Hopefully you were never on that drug.

    Welcome! We at this forum have various dogs that are show dog champions, pet store dogs, shelter dogs, puppy-mill dogs, and all are loved companions so the only 'standard' is that you love your basenji and want the best for them! My 3 are rescues, and I feed dry. I mix 2 foods because as I changed from one to another I didn't like the looser stools, but found a 3/4–1/4 mix to be perfect for all 3. They seem to really like their kibble and eat enthusiastically, though they have had the same food for several years now. I also give mine vegetables, meat, a bit of whatever we eat. As someone else said, people feel very passionately about food, but as long as you feed a high quality food that agrees with your dog, and they are healthy and glossy with solid poop, you're good! Go for the best food you can afford, it will save you bet bills down the way and your dog will be healthier and feel better than if you feed a 'junk food' full of filler. Good luck, welcome and good for you for getting all the information you can! Anne in Tampa

    **I mix too! I like to change it up a little so they are not getting the same food all the time. Imagine yourself eating the same food day after day after day, tho I don't think they mind it a bit!! :o) Currently I am mixing Canidae with Eagle Holistic. I am reading up on blue buffalo brought home some samples and they love it. But again, mine are not picky eaters. I also add fish oil pills (x2), nupro, glucosamine, pet tabs plus as supplements.**

    I use Nutro Natural Choice for sensitive stomachs. I think it is Chicken, Oatmeal and Rice. I had taken them off it and found their coats didn't have the same sheen and were kind of rough. It does depend on your dog though, I haven't had any problems with it either upsetting their stomachs.

    A friend just told me about Bragg's Liquid Aminos for marinating your homemade jerky in. It has no salt added, and very low naturally occurring sodium. Website here: http://www.bragg.com/products/liquidaminos.html
