Prairie

Basenji Feeding
  • Anyone ever heard of Prairie?

    We just had to change Indys's food and this is what they guy at the petstore suggested. The ingredients list looks good and Indy loves it. We would like to feed Evo but he just explodes every time we try so thats not an option. We used to feed California Natural but you have to drive forever to get it. So anyone have any thoughts?

  • If you are going to feed EVO you NEED to mix food for about 2 weeks. THe change to no grain for most dogs will cause VERY loose stool for a week or so, especialy if you simply change over imediatly.

    Is the food Natures Variety? It seems to have a good ingredients list, and no corn or wheat, which is a BIG plus as far as I am concerned (What with Charlie's super allergy to corn)

  • Prairie is one of the foods that I rotate my cats on. They love it. It is a good high quality food.

  • I've used it - as does a couple of Gordon Setter breeders around here - dogs like it - seem to do well on it.

    Not sure how Xylitol is being marketed. It is an alcohol found in a lot of plants, including birch wood, which is the source of Xylitol used in medicines. And it is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. Most of the time you find it in sugarless gum and candy. Here is an FDA warning "Paws Off Xylitol": https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/paws-xylitol-its-dangerous-dogs

    I would find out what he scared of or what he dislikes about the car. Is it the car itself, the sensation of being closed in, the movement when the car is being driven? Then work on whatever the problem is, with food. As for food, I use raw duck and vegetables. And I hand-feed all meals, so I never have a problem with not eating/partially eating. I would also recommend hand-feeding for anyone who does have a dog with food issues. Shredded chicken is good (as long as he doesn't have any reactions). But that and some kibble isn't a balanced meal. You may wish to look into a vitamin supplement, specifically something that has a focus on omega 3 (since chicken is high in omega 6), Vitamin C & the B vitamins (because if all he's eating is chicken and kibble, where is his source of vitamin C and the B vitamins?), zinc & copper (same reasons). All the best. EDIT: I just realized this thread is a year old and was bumped by what is almost certainly a bot.
  • Kibble recommendations?

    I know this topic is old, but I give my B freeze dried salmon bites as treats. I usually find them in the cat section

    My b-kids all love Instinct - every flavour I've tried has been a huge hit.
