What's your b's favorite food?

Be careful with that round rawhide, Sahara almost chocked (spelling) on a round rawhide and she is 8 mos. old. I talked to my vet about rawhide and she said to always pay close attention anytime she is chewing on rawhide, and the bones shape ones are best. Check out the Dingo brand chicken/rawhide sticks, Sahara loves them, they are at Walmart. :o

We feed ours Merrick canned and dry also. I could eat it myself. Smells good and does not cause runny movements. No rawhides here, it seemed to make ours too agressive. We do the dried chicken, expensive but no fat and they like it for a treat. Greenies once or twice a month, when I need a half hour to myself. I have used supplemental vitamines occasionly but with the Merrick they do not seem to be necessary. We do not feed human food ever.

Define "human food" Does that mean no veggies or fruit or anything like that too?
I think of "human food" as prepared, processed foods.
We do feed our dogs limited foods like that {peanut butter in any form excites them, as do cheez-its and vanilla wafers {thanks to my hubby's habit of snacking with the dogs} }, but they also like some veggies, eggs, etc. -
I finally found something Sandie will just not eat… she dislikes lettuce... i always let her taste what were having for dinner ... She ate the tomatoe but the lettuce she spit out ... She loves the broclie in broclie beef... Its almost to the point i am gonna have to get the large container now instead of the small one... Only thing i havent let her try is sweets... we really dont have much sweets... peanut butter i guess is a sweet and she does like that... along with apples and banana's

We feed our dogs Royal Canin dog food, with a mix of Veggies and some meat (rabbit, beef, chicken,or venison) at times mixed in. We feed once a day in the evening with morning treats.
-
Hmmm. Is there a reason for feeding in the pm vs am? What treats do you use?
Not really its just is easier for us. We eat first, they watch and wait and then they eat in a very controled feeding, always oldest first. We don't feed them in their crates, they're scattered around the kitchen, always in their same spots. We supervise and as each one's finished we take them right out to one of two yards, older dogs in one yard and the younger dogs in another.:)
Treats…Wellness bars, Old Mother Hubbards

Do they have websites, and ordering online? I am interested, Sahara, eats Purina Puppy Beneful with couple tablespoons of Pedigree Choice Cuts on top. She loves it, but I am always interested in what is the best to feed her.

Curie and now finally Will both eat Evo. I'm actually looking forward to getting back to the raw diet, but life has been too busy the last year or so. Evo is a good backup for that, to me.
They eat twice a day, morning and dinner. There have been several times that I've tried once a day, but it doesn't seem to please the little beasts, so it's back to twice for the time being. :)

Yes, it does take more time to feed them a raw diet. I recently gave Joey a lamb bone and he went nuts! I let him have it in his crate so he wouldn't drag the raw thing around the house. He was mad when he couldn't be "free" with it. I guess we can't always get what we want!!!

I am pretty sure that one of my B's is alergic to most meats.
Veggies are popular, surprisingly this includes radishes. Lettuce must not count as a veggie in the basenji reality.For a biscuit type snack, I have been buying Nature's Animals - Gourmet Select Carrot Crunch. Both dogs love it and it doesn't have chemical preservatives. Petco sells them.

I have been going to a dog/cat "boutique" where the owner is a retired vet. She carries only foods that are good quality and several different brands.The one I am feeding Joey now is California Natural. She also gave me samples of some of the other brands. I can get a list of the brands she carries if anyone is interested. She said EVO is the highest in protein and most are not beef based.
