owning a dog n being broke can be very frustrating, as u can't watch ur dog starve or look unkempt...

1. Lice n tick control: I av seen thread where pple advertise products dat sound like sumtin dat will break a bank vault to buy, pls for lice control I advice u shud use d "Rambo insect powder" it sells for 150 naira here in Warri, all u need do is rub it all over ur dog n in its ear n voila, b4 u finish reading dis post, all d ticks n lice must av fallen off, also sprinkle some of it around ur environment, don't forget to bath ur dog after about 1hour.
2. Soap for bathing ur dog: I remember I use to buy my dogs bar soap n shampoo for abt 3,500 naira, but to raise 3500 naira for dog soap now, I may need to blow whistle first... anyways I started using original "morning fresh", yes u heard dat right, morning fresh, n I can tell u my dog love it so much, its fur looks sparkling clean n it doesn't irritate her like wen I used d dog bar soap...
3. feeding: I was feeding my dog wit about 15k per month,1 cartoon of can food, rice, egg, biscuit etc... my pple afta d fall of d economy, only me lay hand for my head advice myself... currently I spend only about 7k per month on my dogs feeding n here is d break down: 500 naira for bones from the slaughter weekly, 1k for naija stone rice weekly, n 800 naira for 1 crate of egg monthly... i made acquaintance wit d women who sell fish at d market n de sumtyms drop head of fish for me for free... I store excess in d freezer n I change between cow bones n fish head wen my dog gets bored wit any if them...
4. vitamins: I give paw paw n vegetables to balance sum of d vitamin needs, my dog can bite u if u ate paw paw in her presence n didn't give her to eat, Infact u av turned ursef to her enemy if she see u eat pawpaw n didn't give her some.. since I started giving pawpaw, which of course grow at my back yard, she has neva fall sick...
5. the puppies: I saw a thread where one lady was feeding her puppies wit complan milk, na so I smart go price d milk, na quarrel I take leave d super market wen dem de sell d milk... my puppies are just 1month old, n d weaning process av begun, I started out by smearing egg yolk n giving dem to lick it off my hand, I tried d feeding bottle way but e no work. soon I started mixing d boiled egg wit pap, I watched how de went ballistic on it, I introduced rice, pap, smashed boiled egg, grinded egg shell n meat stock (d one I get from boiling d bones or fish for d mother) all mixed togeda, des little tins are eating it like craze n de are adding up, looking robust n poop colour is impressive, I sumtyms shred sum of d meat/ fish into d puddling
anyways des are my cost cutting measures, I am a bit skeptical abt administering drugs, hence I fall back to my vet who is always ready to rip off my recession gotten cash or I go to d govt vet but very far...

Nice one, I have three dogs.. Feeding them isn't easy, but I used this corn, soya bean, kuli kuli, And fish. I'm still coming tenplating what I can add to make it taste and work better.
I would fry the corn and soya bean (just the same way they fry groundnut but I don't use sand)
Then grind everything together...
They love this mixture but it's not bring out the best result..
I will use your morning fresh idea and rambo(they don't have ticks though) .
My own dogs love water melon and orange, but when they eat water melon, their poop is always reddish. 2 Likes |

Any idea for treatment? This myiasis of a thing can't really be properly fought against easily! All you need to do is have a clean environment, always bath your dog then for the worms you'll have to press it all out and apply the recommended cream not that surface.

Any idea for treatment? According to what I read sometimes ago, it's flea that deposit their egg or larvae on the skin of the dog. I dealt with mine easily. Scan the skin with your finger and press (squeeze) out anyone you see to pop out the worm inside(The worm looks like maggots). Pick dem and drop dem inside petrol or kerosene or open fire so that they don't re-infect other pets around. Bath your dog and use Adi religiously on the skin of the dog. You should practically pour this oil on those spots(hole the worms bore on the skin). Adi is palm kernel oil. Not red palm oil oooo. Adí is a black viscous oil gotten from palm kernel itself. Try to get the original. N200 should serve you if you are in Abuja. N200 portion = N30 in yoruba land. Just look for a good yoruba woman, she will tell you where to get this oil. Give some of the oil to your pet to lick. It's good and highly medicinal. I'll write on this someday. Lastly and most importantly, use Mectizan as recommended above. Thank me later. 1 Like |

Best thread I've come across, I've got a male GSD pup 9 weeks old, Dude is very playfully and energetic,
Problem is he doesn't like that Dr tessy dog food, he prefers the normal food I eat, rice, beans, swallow(when the soup is really good)
Another problem is he can't stand the sight of seeing me lock him in the cage and walk away,
Infact he's become so attached to me that he's beginning to wonder why I'd be at home and we are not together, he knows my phone ringtone if he hears it when I'm not even in the compound he'll yell, he can differentiate the sound of my main entrance door from those of my neighbours, if he hears it he'll yell..
I need advice on how to stop him from yelling to get my attention, it's disturbing my neighbours.... 1 Like |

As he grows, he will outgrow it. it's like human babies that are glued to their moms.

Did your GSD tolerate the Mectizan well? It seems like it a a brand of ivermectin, and GSDs react to it. How much of it did you give to your GSD? I really want to try it as the other option is an injection. |

I need advice on how to stop him from yelling to get my attention, it's disturbing my neighbours.... Give him a firm "No" and hit his cage with something hard that will make noise. Do this consistently whenever he barks in his cage. Over time you'll start phasing out the hard object cos he'll soon understand what no means Have a 4 month old pup n this is what worked for me 1 Like |

For ticks and flea. You can purchase Over the Counter medicine from your regular pharmacy shops. Buy Mectizan. Use 2dose for adult dogs (1yr plus). If you are dealing with puppies, break one drug into three and use for one dog. Just grind and mix with small portion of food that they like. Ensure you chain the dog to something or have them locked up in their cage or move them to somewhere they can't bite people as this drugs makes some dogs go violent for like 2hrs. You will naturally see this bloodsuckers falling off.
Disinfect their cage and their area of play. Enjoy your dog for next six month to 1yr thick free.
Avoid allowing them play on bare sand. Bath them once a week. Use Rambo powder on their skin an our before bath.
Mectizan is N30 per tablet as at 26th June, 2020. Your vet guys won't tell you about this and you won't find it anywhere on the Internet.
If you live in Abuja, we can share experiences and even crossbreed our our dog. I've a German Shepard mixed with Caucasian and a bullmastiff Good evening, thanks for this contribution. I just bought this mectizan in a pharmacy in Enugu for N80 per one and also bought amitrax for disinfecting the dog house. I pray it will totally eradicate the current tick infestation I'm facing. Secondly, I recently dewormed my dog this morning with Bio-Rantel, can I still administer this mectizan to them or do I have to wait. |

Infact he's become so attached to me that he's beginning to wonder why I'd be at home and we are not together, he knows my phone ringtone if he hears it when I'm not even in the compound he'll yell, he can differentiate the sound of my main entrance door from those of my neighbours, if he hears it he'll yell..
I need advice on how to stop him from yelling to get my attention, it's disturbing my neighbours.... Most dogs from my observation does not like the dr tessy dog good and I don’t know why I wouldn’t mind if any nairalander has used the dr tessy dog feed and any positive outcome |

Good evening, thanks for this contribution.
I just bought this mectizan in a pharmacy in Enugu for N80 per one and also bought amitrax for disinfecting the dog house. I pray it will totally eradicate the current tick infestation I'm facing.
Secondly, I recently dewormed my dog this morning with Bio-Rantel, can I still administer this mectizan to them or do I have to wait. What’s was the outcome did the mectizan work on your dog? |

To add to that, I mix either distilled white vinegar or ACV (apple cider vinaigre) to her bathing water.

With 3 big dogs I had to learn to cut cost. Omo you need to see the package I get everyday for just 500. I feed them only once a day in the evening. But the meal contain alot of bone fish rice soup and a bit of swallow. They eat to satisfaction. |

This is so my 12weeks GSD. i have learnt to ignore. driand:
Best thread I've come across, I've got a male GSD pup 9 weeks old, Dude is very playfully and energetic,
Problem is he doesn't like that Dr tessy dog food, he prefers the normal food I eat, rice, beans, swallow(when the soup is really good)
Another problem is he can't stand the sight of seeing me lock him in the cage and walk away,
Infact he's become so attached to me that he's beginning to wonder why I'd be at home and we are not together, he knows my phone ringtone if he hears it when I'm not even in the compound he'll yell, he can differentiate the sound of my main entrance door from those of my neighbours, if he hears it he'll yell..
