Basenji Feeding
  • I came across this website a while ago and had it saved to my favorites. I think it takes a very good analytical approach to the ingredients in dog food without pushing you to a certain brand or type. It does a good job of just giving you information so that you can better make a decision on your Basenji's health without trying to sell you anything.

    If you have any interest in increasing the quality of your pets' diet, please take a look at this site :)

  • I currently feed my bengals Wysong. I haven't seen Wysong mentioned at all here yet… probably cuz it's not available in stores everywhere, I ahve to have it shipped to me. Anyways, wysong.net is another good resource for health. They focus on education.

    I was just on the dogfoodproject.com site and noticed that wysong is doing a recall on some of their brands. You may want to check it out and see if the food you're using has been recalled…

    An interesting site but I did notice that some of the products have not been updated in a long time. Once you see a food you like on this site it would be a good idea to doublecheck the ingredients on the product's website as they may have changed since originally being posted.

    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

    Thank you everybody so much! I appreciate all the info. I had some vanilla Breyer's all natural and gave my guy a taste of that... boy does he seem to think that's a great treat! Obviously, though I don't want that to be the only thing I do. I'm going to follow up with our vet on getting a draw for the full thyroid panel at hemopet once next pay check comes through. You were right he was only checked for T4. Thank again basenji forums! I was looking back at pics from when he was younger and weighed more. I think he's always been a bit taller than standard and had a little barrel chest. Used to call him a basenji bouncer at the dog park. He was all about playing with the labs, pits and other big dogs - probably because he knew he could outrun them if they ever got too rough. He's much more about slow walks with me and lap snuggles these days ❤

    I had a somewhat similar experience. Joey had a seizure which I correlate to taking Simparica. He looked terrible so took him to the vet when the first seizure happened and he was late Stage 2. Put him on Royal Canin kidney kibble and Hills kidney wet food and 4 years later he has only had 1 more seizure and his kidney values have remained constant. I will believe your homemade version is most likely better if you have the correct proportions. All the best to your Bs! Joey will be 15 in November.

    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
