With The Situation Of Things, How Do You Get Your Dogs Well Fed ? by Ologundudu2020: 7:47am On Nov 16, 2021 |
Those of us with two or more dogs, how do you get them well fed this trying time, both meat and fish is very expensive now lol. Any scope or feeding science to this ?? |

Bro, trust me when I say it ain’t easy but then the passion we’ve got for these wonderful beings keeps us going. The best way is to stay on homemade food and of course protein Issa must so you might want to start rearing catfish or better still get local fowls (if your area permits them) before you know it you’ll have a lot of them at hand and getting meat for your k9s will be much more easier as the local fowls require low cost maintenance 3 Likes 1 Share |

OK...thought I was only one feeling this. Monthly feeding of my dogs was averagely about 50k per month. Now it is almost double. Worse when I have pups that have just been weaned. Puppy kibble is costing more now. Home made meals maybe cheaper but not convenient for some of us. The idea of having a fish or small poultry beside is good though but some of us may not be able to manage that. The canines are enough wahala already. Well we that have opportunity to sell pups at least can augment that cost but buyers will suffer the brunt ...unfortunately. 2 Likes |

Go to any fast food (restaurant) And pay for the remnant food. That's how I feed my dog's 2 Likes |

Walekennel: Fast good remnant is the fastest way to kill your dog with the onions and additives and seasoning in it. Organ failure will come knocking on your door. I know cos I did this many many years ago as a dog owner. Not a good advise. I had to check again. You own a kennel and you're advising someone to feed their dogs on fast food remnant? 4 Likes 1 Share |

Homemade food is bad, Restaurant food is bad, Party food is bad, This is bad, That is bad. Bro do your best and leave the rest. If I tell you how I feed my dogs too, you will still say its bad. The truth is cheap source of feeding will always have future effect. |

My adult dog eats leftovers mainly and occasionally dog indomie. My puppy is still on a diet of dog indomie and dry feed. I don't spend too much looking at it that way |
Re: With The Situation Of Things, How Do You Get Your Dogs Well Fed ? by BoluwatifePromi: 10:42pm On Nov 16, 2021 |
kolokolobi:Ur right, leftovers are not good for dogs as they have their implications. It's the same way red meat isn't good for humans, snacks and junk food also, even soda drinks, ice cream and all that. It doesn't mean we don't take them right? If you're capable let your dogs stay on a diet of dog food for the best of health. If ur more comfortable with leftovers, let your dog eat leftovers, just make sure you don't ignore their diet completely. But in no way should you judge a person's care for his dog by how much they expend from their pockets. 2 Likes |

Fast foods supplies contain alots of maggi and onions, it makes their stool watery to pack. Honestly this country is so messed up that the pets are already feeling it hard. I was looking at my dog collar few days ago, I noticed if care not taken while walking the dog the collar might get lose through the head, cos she have lost lots of weight. Ofcos I’m feeding her daily but I thinks he’s adapted to that chicken head and legs as usual. I’m thinking of selling them all, any interested buyer should contact me. 17 months adult GSD 6weeks Four puppies 3months old Caucasian |

Geepee77: Who said HOMEMADE FOOD is bad if you’re doing it right?!..... mind I tell you those fancy can foods and all have some additives/preservatives which at the long run might have an effect on your k9,homemade food is still the best if you do it right (supply your dog with all necessary nutrients not EBA OO) 1 Like |

BoluwatifePromi: Now you just balanced your info on red meat, junk food, ice cream etc for humans. That would have been good if same balance was given while advising on fast food left over. I did that a long time ago when I did not know enough and I suffered the consequences. I am glad to share from my experience as post I reacted to did not post that caveat. Peace. |

15kg dog kibble i usually buy goes for almost 30k now, so periods when things are rough i buy Bingo kibble which now goes for 13k in my area, Bingo lacks proper nutrients, like eating garri without soup! So for added nutrients i add eggs (with grinded egg shells for calcium), fish head or chicken legs. Any day we have left overs in the house, i mix it with her kibble (i know it aint good, but i hate having to throw food, especially in times like this). Some good days i go out of my way to spoil her, other days she just have to make do with what she gets. Dogs have really adapted to all sorts of food in order to sustain itself, i have a neighbor with a beautiful well fed looking GSD. When i asked him what kibble he gives his dog, he said non, he has never bought dog food, she its what they eat; rice and garri! 2 Likes |

PAQ: Prices of dog foods arent stable dis days. i bought Optimax adult food 15kg 17,500 which my dog consume in three weeks, price now is 18,500. Optimax canned food 24 pcs now 12,000. in two month , i spent over 70k to buy dog food. my dog is pregnant now and one family member will be expecting me to give out puppy free |
Re: With The Situation Of Things, How Do You Get Your Dogs Well Fed ? by RYEOFARMS(m): 7:44am On Nov 25, 2021 |
Godfirst01:Lol they always do, you just have to know when to say NO except of course they contributed to your dog’s upkeep. Same with me here, my dog is not pregnant yet but a lot of my peeps already want free pups |
Re: With The Situation Of Things, How Do You Get Your Dogs Well Fed ? by Ologundudu2020: 7:25am On Nov 27, 2021 |
RYEOFARMS: Last year I gave a neighbor a puppy from my litter, he will leave the puppy and travel living the innocent dog in care of his wife who always come home late at night, behold the puppy died. Same neighbor are already asking for another puppy from me now, lots of family and friends have refuse to associate with me cos I can’t give them a puppy. I’m selling my dogs up until I have a private property of my own |
Re: With The Situation Of Things, How Do You Get Your Dogs Well Fed ? by Godfirst01(m): 10:52am On Nov 27, 2021 |
RYEOFARMS: I dont expect any form of support for the dog upkeep from any family member and non will be informed when the puppies arrive. No free pup for any friend and family cos i discovered people dont appreciate free pup and usually neglect the dog since they didn't spend their money in purchasing the pup |
Re: With The Situation Of Things, How Do You Get Your Dogs Well Fed ? by tasceige(m): 12:37pm On Nov 27, 2021 |
Ologundudu2020: Interested in a puppy please |
Re: With The Situation Of Things, How Do You Get Your Dogs Well Fed ? by RYEOFARMS(m): 5:21pm On Nov 28, 2021 |
Godfirst01:Yh I’ve actually seen a lot of cases like that, when some individuals who have never owned a dog before might not know worth of a free pup and finally end up neglecting/maltreating them hence “if you need a pup, buy one” that’s what I tell my people 1 Like |
Re: With The Situation Of Things, How Do You Get Your Dogs Well Fed ? by RYEOFARMS(m): 5:26pm On Nov 28, 2021 |
Ologundudu2020:Just imagine; most people believe dogs are just animals and as such do not require so much love and attention I’ve had to shun lots of critics who think I’m putting too much in to my k9 buddies care, cos I literally don’t treat them like animals,I treat them like another member of the family but some ppl just can’t phantom why. Some even go to the extent of calling me their father Like “Daddy Mabel, Daddy Aslan” and sorts.... |
