I'm so happy I finally Got my puppy. Its a South African Boerboel SAB Mastiff. I don't know the color but i think it's brindle something... The mother is quite huge and the father is bigger. The dog cost sha no be small. What do you think of my new pup? It's about 5 weeks old and the seller advised me to leave it to be weaned by its mom till its about 2 months before i come pick it up. He also promised to carry out all the necessary vaccinations before i come collect. What do you think. Does it look good and pure (I can;t tell by looking). I hear the dog breed eats too much is this true?? Please give me tips on how to groom her to become a companion. I plan to name her Chloe

see the picture of my new pup and the Mom

Lovely puppy. How much did you get it and the location of the breeder.

My puppy after 4 months and 2 weeks. She's growing tall by the day. Only that she's not putting on weight and lacks stamina. I give her Arion puppy dry and some cooked food at weekends.

Seun how do u suggest I make her gain more weight

I'm so fond of her

Your puppy is really cute. She looks healthy to me. But I can give you some tips that I use for my 3+ month German Shepherd. I also feed him arion dry puppy food. I did a lot of research on the feeding guide and schedule for a German Shepherd. I think you will also benefit from researching online for feeding guide/schedule for a boerboel. Basically I feed him 3 times a day at set times 6am/12noon/6pm. I also mix his dry food with fish and chicken to bulk up on the protein content because I know that arion is not really a high quality dog food. I have a measuring cup I use to measure the amount of dry food I give him. If you find the feeding guide for your particular dog breed it should tell you how much in cups or grams they should eat. It took a lot of research and calculations for me to determine the amount of dry food to give because every brand has different amounts they suggest. He isn't BIG but I think for his age he's doing very well. Even the vets are surprised at his growth rate. When I got him he was 5kg at 8 weeks and now he's 15kg at 14 weeks. Anyway hope my ramblings help you in some way

Thanks for you reply. I have bought PRAZISAM to administer to her today. Though i gave her a dose of vermox last week. I want to be sure that i have properly treated her for worms. Please how do you measure the dog food? For me i use the can food container to serve her about a cup in the morning and a cup in the evening. I'm not always around in the afternoon to serve but she barely finishes the morning serving when i return to refill in the evening. Question is, how many grams of dry food does that wet food container hold. The container says 400 grams for the wet food content but when i use it to scoop dry food it doesnt weigh as much as it does with wet food content. So is there any other way of measuring?

I was advised to buy "DYNE supplement" and GorillaMax to boost her weight and muscle. But I'm still reasoning it.

Maybe I just worry too much about my dog, but she is not heavy and she is not looking malnourished as well. She weighs about 13kg now which is quite low for a boerboel. Is it because she's female??

sorry too many questions

How much did u get it

I have same problem with my boerboel too Max by name and he's not eating as I want.

I think the wet food container should be about 2 cups. I don't have any wet food container to compare, this is just a rough estimate. I give my pup 1 and a half cup for each feeding. When I did all my various calculations that comes up to about 935kcal for the day. I checked online and for a boerboel between 4-6 months they should consume about 1350kcal a day so that will be about 4-5 cups a day. And you are currently giving her about 4 cups so I think it's ok. What you can do is mix the dry food with wet food or like I do I mix it with fish and/or chicken and boy does he slurp the whole thing, but then he gets stinky fish breath I don't know much about supplements so I can't advice on that. I give mine a supplement called pet forte. But really I don't think you should worry, large breeds shouldn't grow too fast and bulky as I read because they could get hip dysplasia and other problems. A lean dog is a healthy dog.

I think at 4 months 2 weeks old, the dog needs high calcium food as I can see from the pictures the legs that the bones are not well developed as they should. Also you need to keep in mind that as dogs gets older they naturally prefer more moisture content in their food. Let me not say much but if you need more information on this you can check out the website in my signature to this post. Once at the home page you can check the blog directory. I believe you will find something interesting about caring for dogs among few articles there.

Kind regards

I believe it would be best if you visit a veterinary outlet close to you for advise on the one suitable for your pet. There re lots of calcium supplements for dogs out there. Cheers

My Chloe is 5 months now and counting. I have changed her food from Arion to Diamond naturals extreme Athlete. I think i'm noticing some improvement in weight gain and activity. Arion caused her to smell badly with frequent smelling poop soft as a butter. The offensive smell put me off alot.

Right now she's lost most of her puppy tooth except one which is stuck and refusing to fall off. It has started affecting the gum. I'm going to try pull it out or loosen it to allow it fall off. I hope she doesn't bite me in the process. She has bitten me before and I'm kinda careful these days with her.

What do you think about her y'all
