What Do You Feed Your Basenji

Basenji Feeding
  • WBLW

    **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'd never heard of it so thanks for bringing it up. We have a better chance for that than U.S. brands. (I'm in Israel.)

    @Baba-Bamidele I change kibble so that no matter where I am, where I go, if I need food for the girls, I have a number of different choices. Do not have to rely on just one. And I don't have to worry about the standard "change food slowly".... they are used to many, many changes

    As a general rule for adult dogs B-size for dry food: around 1% of their bodyweight per day. For puppies a bit more. Also depends on their activity, temperature and the like. Just check how close you are to this, and see how the body responds. We have found that a little food extra or less can make a difference.

    Another consideration is that there are more virulent strains of bacteria now, e.g. E coli 0157 H7, which is a very nasty bug. I would never feed a dog raw beef from feedlot cattle for this reason.

    Nom, if you buy in bulk and freeze, raw isn't really expensive. I can get chicken backs at about 29 cents a pound!

    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.
