Thanks for posting.
What's your b's favorite food?
-
Whipped cream straight from the can… all of mine line up for a "squirt"... it is too funny... at times they look like mad dogs frothing at the mouth....
-
Our favorite used to be scrambled eggs, but now it's broccoli. She can't get enough of it!
-
Joey's breeder suggested raw meat mixed with dry kibble and vegis. He loves carrots, but they have to be firm! We give him a raw egg yolk 2-3 times/wk. Flaxseed oil was suggested for his coat.
-
He is feed once in the morning and gets treats later in the day
-
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?
-
Just read the "how often thread"…guess it's what works as far as time and how often.

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.

Hi JoeyQ - There is a thread under Puppy Feeding called - Puppy to Adult Food. It's very interesting. Jumoke did alot of homework on the food we buy. It is very thorough.
-
Thanks, Jill. I too printed it.

I always fed Senji Pedigree dry food with some bits of meat mixed in sometimes. Now that he's been diagnosed with the liver disease, I'm feeding him Science diet-liver diet formula. He doesn't mind the canned, but isn't too crazy about the dry. The vet said it would be OK to give him his meds with a little bit of turkey or chicken. He also likes cottage cheese and plain yogurt. I give him a scrambled egg every other day too. He likes green beans, but will only eat other vegetables if they were cooked in the same pot with meat. He also eats watermelon, honeydew and canteloupe. His favorite treat is Nilla wafers. He doesn't like many of the doggie treats except for Beggin Strips, but those upset his tummy.

Abbey loves scrambled eggs too. She likes lots of vegetables especially green beans and broccoli. The other day I made brussel sprouts and she kept begging for one so I put one in her bowl. It apparently wasn't what she expected. She kept turning around and looking at me like Am I supposed to eat this thing or what? When she actually tasted it she wanted more! She likes yogurt but not cottage cheese, and no fruit at all. I tried to give her a bite of banana once and she acted like I was handing her a live rattle snake. My vet likes Hill Science Diet so we stick to that for dry food.
-
My Tobias loves peanut butter! I always mix his dry food w/a little bit of peanut butter and put it in his kong, he loves it and it keeps him occupied for a while. He also loves plain yogurt, and buttermilk. I have heard from my vet that the enzymes in both of these are very good for their digestive systems, just like their good for ours.
