    @elbrant That's good to know! We are in Kansas where pollen and allergies are rampant lol, I am wondering more if that's what it is since the build-up isn't increasing very quickly at all. Seems to be worse after we spend a while outside.

    @lawrence-chow said in Puppy dry heaving?: Replying late but our B had this problem for quite a while. It's called bilious vomiting syndrome. Usually the vomit is yellow foam in the morning when they have an empty stomach. Our vet suggested feeding 3 meals through the day with the last meal as late in the evening as possible and then the moment they wake up, feed them right away, even just a spoonful is good. Our B had this issue on and off for a good 4 months before it eventually going away, the feeding very first thing in the morning seemed to help. She's 9 months now and it still happens occassionally, the last time was when we forgot to feed her dinner the night before. She's otherwise totally healthy. Sadly this was a totally different issue at the time. It was dry and repetitive even post-feeding. Ended up being nothing which is odd but he's all good now :)

    I live in Arazona, US, now it is too cold for me but Basenji feels good enough to bear such cold, so this is fine to Basenji below normal temperature.

    I like the FidoFleece coats - they velcro along the TOP there is a hole to hook the leash on the collar. All you have to do is set your basenji down on the 2 leg openings - pull both sides up and voila. I also have on that is fleese on one side and raincoat on the other side. I am lucky to have a large fenced area in my back yard so I don't have to worry about salt - I would rather walk myself but - the salt is just too daunting. If I want to walk - I'll find a snowmobile trail to walk on I can be pretty certain that there is not much salt there.
