Carnibest, Mirtillo's new food

[tsjoe007]

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 !

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 !:)

[Janneke]

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.

[Janneke]

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 !!

[Janneke]

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.

Yes, Eldorado's Zari by Saqqara. He also brought her with him.
