Finally Spring
Did you know that dogs can have allergies just like humans? Find the signs and symptoms to look for on WebMDs page Allergies in Dogs.
Winter
Remember to protect your Basenjis from the harshness of the winter. Limit time outside and provide a nice warm spot inside for them. Coats and booties are a must for long walks or if they are outside longer that a quick potty break. The chemicals used to remove ice and snow is especially harmful not only to their feet, but they could lick and ingest it. Remember to wipe their feet when returning home from walks
Basenjis and Water
While it can generally be said that Basenjis and water don’t mix, every so often one comes along that is not bothered by it. Most can easily get used to the occasional bath or learn to swim as a puppy. What they usually dislike is rain…or the wet grass from rain, or the early morning dew on their precious paws…it’s like poison to them! They will do absolutely anything to avoid going out in the rain to go potty.

Cold Weather Cometh!
Basenjis are notorious for loving their warm places. You will often find them curled-up by the heater or a sunny spot by the window. For those of you in cold climates preparing for the arrival of Fall, and ultimately Winter, remember to think of your Basenji’s needs for warmth.
