Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.
Hello Everyone
-
I just found out about this forum and I love it. I am from Knoxville and have a 1 1/2 year old Basenji name Manning. I also have a mix named Rascal and two cats, Freya and Darwin (Manning loves to antagonize these two!)
-
Welcome to the list.
-
Welcome to the forum. what happened in the first picture? Did your B get into your trash?
-
Manning looks too cute to get into any trouble… hahahahaha...;)
-
Rascal is quite handsome, too.:)
-
awwwww….they are both so cute.....and they look so innocent
-
Welcome!! What cutie patooties you have there!!!
-
I walked out the door one day and forgot to take the trash out when I left. I'm pretty sure Manning and Rascal must have thought it was a gift complete with the shiny garbage bag gift wrapping! I came home to find not only both dogs in the trash but the cats basically rolling around in it as well. I know when I leave they are all conspiring together against me…..
-
Yep! Ours does the same. We try and keep it in a closet.
-
Manning's face looks like " OH Hi, didn't expect you back so soon….how was your day?"
-
Welcome to the forum!! This is a great place for information and showing off your dog(s). Lots of experienced basenji owners here and I am grateful for all their help. Hollie and I know Manning & Rascal from Dogster!!!
-
Welcome here! It's loaded with lots of info and suggestions. Enjoy!
Manning is an adorable little B. Is your little Rascal a B-mix? He looks like it to me.
-
We think Rascal might be a mix. It was trying to figure out what she was mixed with that first introduced us to what a Basenji was. Behavior wise she fit the profile! Little did I know what I was getting into with my cute little shelter puppy. After her puppy years I knew I could survive anything!
-
Welcome to the forum! They sure are cute! It's a great place to learn, laugh and share stories about our babies!
