i was told some time ago that chicken is no good for a basenji - is that true??
Not true... Not sure where you hear that one... but I have fed chicken both cooked and raw to mine for years.. also the dry I use has a base of Chicken along with the canned too....Originally Posted by tewwi22
Now of course dogs can have allergies to it... along with many other things
When our dog severe got diarrhea, the vet told us to feed him white rice & boiled chicken. He said that's about the most neutral thing you can feed your dog.
But he told us that chicken alone does not have all the nutrients the dog requires so would not be good for a stand alone diet.
I give mine boiled chix and rice or hambuger and rice once and while if i see that maybe there tummy is upset also when it;s real hot out the vet said it's easier on there tummys and they LOVE itthey call it a "bland" diet not sure how bland it is my dogs dont think it is they think it's YUMMY lol lol
The reason they call for a Bland diet is that it is supposed to be low to no fat, which is why you are supposed to boil the hamberger in water and drain to take off the fat...I give mine boiled chix and rice or hambuger and rice once and while if i see that maybe there tummy is upset also when it;s real hot out the vet said it's easier on there tummys and they LOVE it

Amen to that... corn!!! yuck... my Kristii only has to look at corn and she breaks out into hives
Corn is basically a filler and doesn't provide nutritional value anyway-I try to stay away from it.
