Changing food

Basenji Talk
  • Hello! Looking to change Chupy's food from puppy food (we were doing blue buffalo dry puppy) to regular food now. Any suggestions in a brand? He is 10 mo now and I know I am way over due to upgrade to adult food.

  • I never ever feed puppy food, so I'm glad you are changing. Since he's on blue buffalo, and it's a good brand, why not switch to that? I actually rotate foods.

  • Same comments as Debra, I have never used puppy for any of my pups from the time they were old enough to eat solid food.... Don't particularly love Blue Buffalo, but any high quality kibble is fine. I use a number of different ones that way I can always change foods without any tummy upset.... I do like Fromm's Surf and Turf

  • I also use Fromm, grain free, I use a variety
    Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Grain-Free Surf & Turf Formula Dry Dog Food
    Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Grain-Free Pork & Peas Recipe Dry Dog Food
    Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Grain-Free Salmon Tunalini Recipe Dry Dog Food
    Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Pork & Applesauce Formula Dry Dog Food

    I rotate with Blue Buffalo, Honest Kitchen, Taste of the Wild and Wellness.

  • Awesome! Thank y'all so much for the help!

    We feed raw meat (deep frozen) and like that a lot (our 2 sisters do, too!). Some vegetables too, like broccoli, cabbage, red beet, carrot, and the like. Both cooked and raw. We only bath them when they have rolled in something stinking, like a dead bird or so. When wet or muddy, we give them a rub with an old towel - they do the rest.

    Agree with all above - you also might like to try mixing a teaspoon of sardine/tuna with a little water and spreading it over the food. Good luck!

    @wizard: I forgot to mention that my previous basenji loved to eat rabbits that he caught and muskrats. (I did my best to get those away from him) Oh. ew. We have found one or two squirrel carcasses in the yard over time, but I'm not sure who's killing them. Gypsy has in her youth, but I'm not sure she has the eyesight or speed for that anymore, so it's probably one of the Basenjis. Grosses me out! I know they'd both like to make lunch out of my cats.

    LOL! Stormie did that once when visiting my Dad (who is not a basenji fan to begin with - I'm pretty sure I must be adopted ;o) ). Dad was less than pleased with the little oily senji footprints through the garage, but he did find the humor in seeing Stormie in the bath tub looking like a disgraced, drowned rat! :o)
