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 agree with agilebasenji… yes he needs checked. But, I also need to ask if you are reading up and following raw diet protocols or JUST feeding meat. Dogs need more than meat. It is possible you are doing damage by not having that diet balanced since you say almost entirely protein.

    The "too heavy" basenji on the Eukenuba bag looks like my basenji/sheltie/collie mix - the body shape for sure! Incidentally, the Freshpet is wonderful food, I mix a small slice of the beef, bison, cranberry blueberry in with Gemma's Nutro Lite at each meal - she has a sensitive stomach and used to vomit quite a lot, but has not in months!

    As a newbie to the breed, I appreciate that all of the information is contained in one spot. It is great to be able to get a broad range of opinions in one thread.

    What is Arlene weaning the puppies onto? Orijen has a good grain-free puppy kibble. I feed mine twice a day. The best schedule I have found for housetraining is to get them up and out to potty first thing then they play while I get breakfast together, they get their breakfast and then are out again after 20 minutes, usually for a short walk. The pup is then crated or ex-penned while we are at work. One of us comes home for lunch and the pup is pottied and played with so they are ready for an afternoon nap. When I get home they go out again and then play with the "big dogs". Everyone gets dinner between about 5-6pm then they are out for their evening walk about 20-30 minutes later. Then I make sure the pups get a good play session before bed and out to potty right before. Usually it takes a few weeks before they can hold it all night so plan on pee break in the middle of the night, just pick them up and out to potty then back to bed so they know it is for business and not play.
