Baby Food?

Basenji Feeding
  • I am thinking this is a crazy question, but why not?!?!? Would baby food mixed in with kibble be a good idea as an occassional treat? I noticed when reading the ingredients the other day that there are no additives whatsoever… just a thought. Any input on this?:confused:

  • At the veterinary clinic where I used to work, we would give meat baby foods to dogs that we were having a hard time coaxing into eating…

    Most of the time they ate it right up!

  • I give it to dogs who don't eat…or to hide pills in.
    But not as a regular thing.

    The biggest difference in most puppy foods and small breed foods is the fat and protein contents. I have one that needs the higher calories found in the small breed and puppy foods. If he has a sensitive stomach then you will need to transition very slowly to any new food and he may not transition to a new food.

    Kananga approves. :D Local pet store that I go to carries all of the frozen raw diets offered by Nature's Variety. It's nice to have a good selection to possibly rotate proteins. I thawed out 3 medallions and it only took Kananga 20-30 seconds to realize this was yummy food. He's a big fan of this but hopefully he'll still like his dry kibble. :)

    I have now switched from Blue Buffalo food to Merricks wet and dry. The Blue Buffalo was hard to get, I had to buy it out of town. I get Merricks locally, and Sahara absoutely eats it better than all the rest. She is a picky eater and doesn't have a big appetite, but man oh man is she waiting when it is meal time now. She cleans her dish, a new thing for her. I am very happy, I use the dry also with about 1/4 cup of wet mixed in. I add alittle warm water to the dry (it makes it's own gravy) heat the wet alittle and add to the dry. Yes, I know Sahara is spoiled b/c I heat her wet food but what the heck, she is worth it, only takes a few seconds. Merricks is pricey $2 per can but I make it last for about 4-5 meals. Anyways, if you read the can and bag of the dry you will see what I mean, it is very good dog food and the family that has the company has been in business for 3 decades.

    i was so concerned about the recall when it first happened I took for granted checking the labels again.
