I was just wondering what dry kibble you are feeding your basset? I had my babies on purina dog chow.. And it took a long time for them to touch the food at every meal.. So I changed to purina one chicken and rice formula.. They devour it in seconds!
Iams. Emma's poops are nice and hard, no skin allergies or problems, and she is growing like a weed. Oscar used to be on blue buffalo when we first rescued him and he was really skinny. Now because both dogs decided that each others food is nicer, we have both on the same Iams diet. No problem so far except that Emma is a fussy eater.
NOW Puppy formula. Grain free. It costs a bit more but Frankie's coat is super shiny and his poops are alot smaller and less smelly. I also love that is made in BC, Canada.
I switch between Iams Puppy and Beniful Puppy for dry food. Both dogs just "Pick" at it, it is not their main meal. jake gets adult canned and Ellie gets puppy canned. Both are doing very well with this. However, Sunday mornings, dad makes scrambled eggs... they refuse to eat dog food on Sunday mornings... they know the good stuff is on its way!
We feed both our dogs (a golden retriever and basset) Blue Buffalo Grain Free Turkey and Potato kibble. I have to say my Golden Retriever's itchiness reduced by about 80% within a month of starting this food, and her coat has become so shiny and lustrous. Max, our basset, also has a very healthy looking (and feeling) coat. And...they LOVE LOVE meal-time.
