What Do You Feed Your Basenji

Basenji Feeding
  • **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 feed abby Hills science diet puppy small bites and some times hills puppy in a can mixed with dry.

    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.

    Nom, if you buy in bulk and freeze, raw isn't really expensive. I can get chicken backs at about 29 cents a pound!
  • What if your Basenji is putting on the pounds!

    Chance and Kiya get 1/2 cup/each of innova dry food in the morning after a 2 mile run and 1/2 cup each of innova dry food at night after a 3 mile walk. Usually in the mornings I mix their dry food with salmon oil and at night I mix it with nonfat plain yogurt. From what I learned salmon oil helps with their skin and joints and yogurt helps with digestion. Sometimes I also mix green beans into their food, but they don't seem to like it that much. I started giving chance a bit less per day, about 3/4 of a cup instead of a full cup, as he is getting a bit heavy.

    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.
