Dietary needs for a

Basenji

Protein

Digestive issues, and joint stress problems are related to the diet of your Basenji pup and their healthy weight. You have to keep this in mind when choosing food for your Basenji. Human-grade animal protein serves as the #1 ingredient in Kabo’s fresh recipes, setting Kabo apart from most of the dog food industry. Custom portioning of high-quality easily digestible proteins is done with a goal to keep your Basenji at the ideal weight- crucial in avoiding joint problems and heart diseases.

Basenjis can be allergic to common protein sources like chicken. For such pups, Kabo has a Luscious Lamb recipe which is not only nutrient-dense but also delicious to your pup's tastebuds. To provide a healthy option for Basenjis who are food allergy sufferers, our Hypoallergenic Salmon recipe is made with a limited ingredients list, featuring real salmon filets, blueberries and spinach. 

Carbohydrates & Fiber

Basenjis are a very energetic breed. A major source of this energy comes from carbohydrates. To provide your Basenji with the energy they need, Kabo chooses only whole natural sources of carbohydrates sourced from Canadian farms. We include carbs in our recipes from chickpeas, squash, sweet potato, rice, and russet potato- depending on the recipe. Unlike some commercial dog foods, even premium ones, our recipes do not contain any corn, corn syrup or wheat.

All of the nutrient-dense produce used in Kabo’s recipes serves a different functional purpose. We source  quality fresh produce from Canadian farms. These ingredients include green beans, red apples, spinach, kale, spinach, and carrots. All of which are known for being rich in essential minerals and vitamins like potassium, iron, folic acid,  and Vitamins A, C, and K.

Fats

Fats are an important part of your Basenji's balanced diet just like it is for humans. Dogs need to consume healthy fats in order to function properly. Kabo's in-house nutritional experts formulate our recipes with the correct amounts of essential fats. 

Our fresh dog food recipes contain essential fats from lean, quality meat proteins and is then supplemented with human-grade fish oil and sunflower oil to provide Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids.  Great for aiding in skin, immune and heart health- no expensive supplements required!

If your Basenji requires a low-fat option, our Tender Chicken recipe is an exceptional choice. It's also gentle on stomachs for when they have an upset tummy.

We love Kabo! My dog Luna has been eating Kabo for a couple of months now and loves it! She's a picky eater and we are so happy to finally find a food that she loves! Her favorite is the Lucious Lamb and we are just about to add the new Hypoallergenic Salmon. Her coat looks amazing and she has more energy!

Rated 5/5

I have the pickiest little eater ever! Tried many different kibble, Caesar, Freshpet, dehydrated, and he always ate good for the first little while, then back to not wanting. Tried a different fresh food delivery service, but the shipping took over 7 days, and was completely thawed on arrival. THEN, I tried Kabo, every shipment so far, has arrived overnight to Manitoba, completely frozen. 8 weeks so far, and he still licks his bowl completely clean!!! Highly recommend Kabo
