Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • hi Pedro, I am sorry that your dog was called 'trash'. All living animals and beings have a right to happiness and a good, healthy life. I myself don't like the idea of feeding table scraps to dogs. A good quality dog food has the properly balanced ingredients to provide a dog with proper nutrition. Us humans don't always eat properly, but at least we can feed our animals well, right? :) I don't think the odd 'treat' off of your plate is a problem, but just make sure you know what human food is and isn't safe for a dog to eat. Here is a link that talks about problem 'human' foods. http://www.articlesbase.com/pets-articles/toxic-foods-for-dogs-191994.html I would think that there would be other foods as well. Just as some people have specific food allergies, individual dogs can have them to foods other dogs eat safely.

  • thanks kipawa, i will look through this . i didn't thank dog'scould get allergies to people foor!.but i have heard of dogs being allergic to corn. thanks.

  • PEDRO. we all do want to help you. It seems sometimes we are saying the same things over and over. Sorry if I offended you. Just tired and these post just seem to be too much. Go to the BCOA site and find out who does b's in your area. Go to some dog shows. YOU will have to find them. Then it will be easier to explain.

  • Many people on this Forum feed "raw" and only use people food. I use both, fresh meat, veggies, (and the meat is usually raw or lightly cooked)… but I use a high quality dog food too.. one that is all natural...

    You can find shows and other activities close to you, but you need to do the research.

    And why would you want a Basenji that is not AKC registered? If that is the case, consider a rescue www.basenjirescue.org… and if you think too expensive, then save your money till you can afford a well bred puppy from a responsible breeder

  • thanks guys! i will do this on these sites'you gave me. and if you can?, tanza can u give me some of ur recipes?. thanks for helping sooo much. it has come in handy. i have one more quesrion for you's all could there be anythank wrong with my basenji, because he hasnt'goon pee all day and he has done this a few times since i got him!!. but when i take him out and tell him to go pee he go's right then!>

    That "baby" on the couch is my 15+ yr old…..LOL.. that is my old wonderful girl... so always remember, while she is a Dual Champion (show conformation and Lure coursing Champion) she was never bred because there were health concerns... but she was and still is our "pet", loved family companion...

    @Maca: Well i do my best about alerting about fanconi. there is a young vet that are bredding basenjis and making fanconi to his dogs and now have a litter from Summer and Blade the famous champion and will test all his litter prior to sell. So he is good news, im still not breeding Maca, looking for a brindle male tested and register, but lately there is no one. Now i member of the group have a litter but still he will make fanconi to the mom so im waiting to see the results to check if i get a puppy or maybe with Laika sick its time to just care my actual girls.. i dont know. Greetings and thanks for support.. I have used Maca but not for long as it tastes awful. I was using it raw, putting it in shakes, but I couldn't take the taste. Maybe cooking with it is the way to go, I did not know that was a good option. I still have most of mine, I think I'll give it a shot that way. But as far as It being a caffeine alternative, there is not any stimulant effect.

    @lukris: That's good news about Chance Vicky. At least you know you have to find a nice clear boy for Nakura now. You must be relieved. Chance is Nakura's son so can't use him! The search continues. We need to encourage more people to test are there are only about 6 clear stud dogs in UK at moment. So not much too choose from there!!

    My first thought was "Great! None of her dogs will develop Fanconi." But as a non-breeder I forget that the carrier status complicates your life when it comes to making breeding decisions. Good luck and I really applaud all of you breeders who care because we all know that there are those who don't care and therefore refuse to find out Pat.
