Early to sleep outside ??

setobaba:

early to adopt. 8 weeks could av been more ideal.
Nevertheless, she would still come out pretty nice if well taken care of. Make sure u bath regularly with a medicated dog soap, serve nutritious meals and give lots of love. Enjoy ur pup. Hope u know how to potty train.

I mean u av to bath ur dog any time u feel he is dirty. U can start at about 6 weeks or 7 weeks of age.
Potty training is all about teaching ur dog were and were not to pee and poo. Most pups poo early in the morning and after a meal, so u can take it to ur desired spot for it to poo. It may take the pup some time to master but u have to be patient.

Let me share a recipe i used for my puppy i collected at just two weeks.

Get a feeding bottle make a suitable size hole in it.
Buy 4kg dry puppy food i recommend ( fidog or diamond )
Checkers 4 in one custard
A crate of egg

Now mix it this way

Boil hot water and pour into the dry dog food and form a mashy properly grinded paste...

Make the custard(also add milk) to be a bit water, break one egg add pour into the hot custard then stir

Bring your feeding bottle, pour a third of the dry dog food paste into it, the remaining should be the other mixture....cover and shake the feeding bottle so the mixture forms a single combo then allow to cool.

Feed it to your puppy atleast 4 times a day continuously and see the wonders


*Note the older he gets you start increasing the portion of dry dog food paste in the mix

Bro abeg how much u buy ur dog ?

goryorhal:


Bro abeg how much u buy ur dog ?

65k

setobaba:

The question now is why can’t I have a dog with 75k salary as a single guy. I’m not planning to have a gf who will add to my expenses though

my bother, just follow the advise, taking care of a dog is no joke... I know how much my parent spends on feeding, veterinary treatment, dog accessories, everything is a lot of money, and u cant even manage, you just have to do it.

The truth is , that your budget is small... I know how much it cost to take care of dogs, and its not child's play.. I have 3 (boerboel) and it cost a whole lot... a lot of people have approached me saying they want to sell their dogs because they don't have the money to take care of them. see don't be deceived, you can do it later, so you don't put yourself under unecessary pressure. when you go for doctor appointment, you have to pay, no begging if the dog is sick you have to pay.Aside that rearing a dog in a rented apartment is not the best because it can be poisoned by fellow tenant. This is a common scenerio.

So he should wait till he becomes a landlord ba?
Before you can tell him 75k won't be enough, at least you should drop estimate proving that it won't be enough.

setobaba:
Hello nairalnaders I’m moving to my new apartment soon, a self con after my service year ends and I’ve always been a lover of dogs but never had the chance to own one yet, due to their cost of manintenace . So now I’m on a salary scale of 75K and really really plan to get a dog for my self preferably a germane Shepard to start with, I have no experience on how to maintain one So I really need you people help on this. Can I get one with my salary range. Like how much can I assume to budget for the dog monthly and what’s the best breed to start with? I basically knew nothing than I love dog pls help me
Lalasticalala and other mod help with this to the front page

You can't comfortably buy and maintain a germarn Shepard with that income.

Let's be realistic here. Most Gsd puppies are sold between 50-90k depending on the breed.

Feeding alone would be costing you between 5-10k monthly minus veterinary and other miscellaneous. And you say your monthly income is what again?

Truth is you'll be overwhelmed by the huge expenses your little pet is going to give you and most likely run out of cash before the end of the month. Cos you'll have to fend for yourself as well.

The only breed I can recommend for you with that income is the Calabar yellow hound aka ekuke dog. The only money you'll spend is in the purchasing which would be less than 2k. As for feeding and maintenance, you have absolutely nothing to worry about cos the calabar yellow hound is capable of surviving with or without your support.

Good luck.

You gave estimate of one month, will he be buying dog every month? He has done the most important job and that's buying the dog, the rest is minor. He cannot spend more that 20k monthly.

following ..hope to watch him grow.

op what is your dog's name na?

I don't earn 75k and i still own a dog... My advice is get a medium size breed and you wont have any problem ...

U know nothing about dogs bro.. nothing at all...I doubt if u av ever train a dog before..

setobaba:

The question now is why can’t I have a dog with 75k salary as a single guy. I’m not planning to have a gf who will add to my expenses though

My brother, it's fine to own a dog, but u must be ready before making taking that decision.
There are many things involved.
Know it that your dog need medicals. Weda u have money or not, you must get its medicals or u may get into big trouble if the dog happens to bite anyone. You MUST give the 3 vaccinations and the Anti-Rabies vaccine which be from a total of N15,000 and above. This is exclusive of other medical issues that may crop up from time to time.

Your dog must eat. I said MUST. You may manage to go hungry yourself, but that should not be applied to the dog if you really want ur dog to look fine and be under ur control.

Have it in mind you are packing into ur new apartment of Self-Content. That is still a commercial building, not ur private house. Have u consider how other tenants will view u having dog around the compound. The first few weeks of you bringing the dog home will be hell. The dog will experience separation anxiety. It will cry shout, back and make all sorts of noise that ur co tenants will have issues with as they will lose sleep by the nuisance that dog will create for the first few weeks.
Also bear in mind that as the dog keep growing, it may start destroying ppl items like shoes, clothes and with lots of poo in the compound if you fail to train her very well.

Also know that once you get this dog, your movements will be limited. Ur dog will be like a little baby in the house. Are you sure you can cope with your job, coming home to feed her in the day time. Your puppy may need to be fed like 4 times per day.
Also know that you can no longer travel as u used to. U can't travel and leave her behind. Are you ready to make provision for who will take care of her wen u travel? Do you have enough money to pay for accommodation if you wish to leave her under the care of your vet doc. They charge like N1,000/night.

Your dog will need different types of food at different growing period. Can you conveniently afford it? Will ur job give you time to exercise your dog and socialize her for healthy growth. Do u have a good space in that compound to build the dog's house. Will the owner of the house allow that?

Bros, there are other things you need to consider before bringing in a dog to ur house.

setobaba:

Wooooo! Thanks for the insight on this how do I detect a parvo virus on a dog ??

Vomit, Bloody stool.
The vomit must have one strong stench smell.
If there is no strong smell, it's not Parvo.
Once your dog gets in contact with Parvo, it will show within 3 to 5 days.
It can kill a dog within 10 days of contact.
Even after treating it. the virus can linger within the environment for over a year.
Not affected by either hot or cold weather.
Another dog can get it if it enters the compound even after your dog has recovered.
