What Do You Feed Your Basenji

    **I was just curious what everyone feeds their B's. As far as raw or what type of kibble.

    I don't have a B yet but plan on feeding Solid Gold, most likley Hund-N-Flocken.**

    My puppies are on Wellness Supermix 5 Puppy. The adults get California Natural Chicken and Rice Small Bites and Evo and Rio gets Wellness Duck and Sweet Potato canned food to help keep weight on. They all like fruit and veggie snacks like carrots, apples, and watermelon.

    My 3 guys (1.5, 4 and 5 years) eats Fromm Four Star kibbles, and I alternate the flavours from the 4 various types they have each day
    …They get 1 cup kibbles and 1.5 cup fresh chopped veggies
    like carrots, broccoli, kale, cucumber and spinach mixed with the kibbles
    and finally I pour 1 cup of warm water over it all...they love it!
    certain days I also mash in some freeze dried fish or chicken, some fresh egg yolks or even raw chopped chicken liver...

    I go by the old rule "the eye of the master maketh the horse". It applies to dogs as well. You may start with a rule of thumb, but pay attention to what your eyes tell you and you won't go far wrong. If your dog is gaining weight past the ideal, time to cut back, and vice versa.

    My Bs, aged 9 and 11, get 1 cup of dry food, along with a small amount of canned food. My male, aged 5 gets 1 1/2 cups of food but he is being fed the Prescription Intestinal food along with canned. I rarely give treats and if I do it is a small portion. The amount really depends on the type of food you are feeding and the percentage of protein and fat and the activity level of the dog. Do you have a picture of your girl? Jennifer

    If it's any consolation Koyu,my Kangal (Anatolian KarabasSheepdog) (who was the runt of her litter) would eat hardly anything when she came to us. We kept her going for 12 months on raw eggs (from our own free range chickens) and wholemeal biscuit. One day she showed an interest in her Basenji sisters and brothers and from then on ate normally. She also grew to normal height and weight.

    I've noticed that dogs, including Basenjis, eat more and get chubby if they were abandoned and lived in the streets for a while, especially when they were young pups. One of my Basenjis and one of my rescues have cast iron stomachs, they aren't picky eaters, and they love food! One of my Basenjis doesn't eat a lot and I often hand feed her so I know she is getting enough nutrients.
