Hello


  • Hi,

    I am a first time Basenji owner. My pup is named Barley and he is almost three years old. He is a cutie pie, but has had minor issues with his digestive system. I feel like I keep getting mixed information on what to feed him and what is best for him. Not all vets seems to know about Basenji's and I am getting frustrated. I just want whats best for him so I'm joining forums to get advice from those who have had the same experiences. I also love seeing everyones pictures of other Basenji. =)

  • What are you feeding him now? Have you tried other foods? If so, which ones? Many dogs and Basenjis have allergies particularly to corn, some wheat, some to just all grains.


  • Welcome to the forums, my Bella has a sensitive stomach. I have to be very careful about the things she eats.


  • My boy also has allergies to "stuff" in some foods, so I can relate.

    Welcome to the forum, Amy and Barley. It is good to have you onboard.

    Let us know what he is currently eatinga nd then we might be able to help you from there.

  • Hi! Amy and Barley welcome and were are the pictures? The feeding hard to know you can feed raw meat or go with dog food be hard or can. Then you look all them up what a mess one has this and another this. We do not feed Jaycee raw meat because if we did we would have to do the same with our Akita and I will not feed a 140 lb dog raw meat. Jaycee is on 3 dog foods that we mix together and she has done great we put her on it right after we got her. Did not have any problems from the food she was on to ours so we must have done something correct. Good luck and if you want the mixture be happy to list it for you. Have great weekend.

    Mallia is the third Basenji we have the pleasure of having in the last 30 years. She is a female where as the first two were males.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen

    Dave hello, I also am new to this site. I had my frist Basenji for sixteen years and lost her last year. I could only go for about a month before getting my next Basenji. I really love this breed I have two now. Good luck in your search for your next Basenji.
