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.
FILLET MIGNON….....med rare.:D
BBOY-I think the question was.."what is your BASENJI'S fav food" not YOURS 
Definately steak, or lamb chop. And she loves warm milk.

Oh, that's the B's favorite, doesn't mean they get to taste it very often.:D 
OK - so some B's are lucky enough to get gourmet food. I thought I'd try some of the Merrick brand canned dog food. I can't believe the food in there . . . Thanksgiving Dinner; Grammy's Pot Pie; Wild Buffalo Grill, etc. I opened a first can yesterday and mixed a third of the Venison Holiday Stew with 1/2 cup of his kibble. Duke was going nuts waiting for me to finish mixing. Needless to say he ate it all. I'm not a fan of canned dog food, but once in awhile - OK.
Question about after the eating is done. I've noticed when Duke thoroughly enjoys some extra cuisine with his kibble that he will clean his face completely - wiping his muzzle with his front paws, then he rubs his face along the sofa bottom, :eek: and then further more taking advantage of a blanket to do some face spinning. Does your B's take that much time cleaning up after their meal? I've just noticed this about Duke since having the canned food. He had another third of it this evening. Some doggy-wipes are going on my list! Another Basenji quirk? :p
We just do a third can everytime too. Abbey gets an upset tummy if we overdo it. She does the clean up thing too, wipes her muzzle on the carpet, then sits down to clean her paws. She likes to do the heavy duty paw cleaning at bedtime and gets between each toe and the pads. After that she cleans her tummy.

LOL - That is so funny! I am picturing a Garfield in Abbey.
Oh Storm and Nik LOVE the canned Merrick's food - buffalo is their favorite! I've found that 1/4 can does the trick over their kibble - it is rich stuff, and can lead to unpleasant odors from the posterior area if they get too much :eek:

? - So this is why Stormie races between my legs after he eats and rubs his muzzle on my legs! :rolleyes: :eek: :rolleyes:

So Stormie wants to know when Cleo is inviting him over for dinner! 
Lexi LOVES lima beans. It's so odd. And the one food she'll wag her tail for is a yeast roll from Logan's RoadHouse. I don't blame her on that one. They are soooo good! She likes peanutbutter, but peanutbutter ice cream makes her crazy! She'll do anything for it! She refuses to eat Frosty Paws though. She also hates lettuce and will RUN from bananas. One of her favorite breakfasts is a piece of cinnamon raisin toast with butter. She likes the crust. Pretzels make her instantly throw up. She turns her nose up to popcorn. She LOVES to lick my yogurt cup when I'm finished with it. Strawberries on the bottom with nestle crunch is her favorite.

We recently bought some of that brand and we mix it with the kibble, it looks pretty good and the dogs love it. Buffalo was a big hit at our house as well.

Could you imagine the grumbles coming out of those two together?:D
The dogs have had a little Fillet Mignon…...just a little. They do seem to know when we start the grill, some tasty leftovers seem to follow.

Oh my! That would be a snark fest and a half! They'd either be best friends or mortal enemies!
my B can't eat too much table food as it makes her tummy upset but she tries to eat everything. I haven't seen anything she doesn't like. I thing her favorite thing to eat(besides the usual TP, paper towels/plates and beanie babies) she loves canned tuna and turkey pepperoni.

I suggest a happy helmet!:D

We feed the same exact amount! And anything more than 1/4 of a can & the odor can kill us
Oh my! That would be a snark fest and a half!
Oh my C3PO also snarks when he eats!!!! :eek: He sounds like a pig eating slop LOL My Topaz is MUCH more refined…licking & chewing very dainty
jys - so glad I'm not the only who has noticed the unpleasant side effects from Merricks! lol!
Oh my C3PO also snarks when he eats!!!! He sounds like a pig eating slop LOL My Topaz is MUCH more refined…licking & chewing very dainty
I think the sounds coming out Nik and Storm's mouths at dinner time would probably make a pig envious!
BB- a happy helmet! lmao!

LOL - HaHaa! I get the message. I'll go from 1/3 to 1/4 can. Last night, Duke was standing on the sofa playing with me when all of the sudden he . . . POOTED! His own poot scared him. He turned around to see what was there - couldn't find anything, but he did alot of sniffing . . . and looked embarrassed!
