MrrKay:
Thanks so much Boss.
I really appreciate.
She's already on bullymax.
Is there any need for multivitamin?

Appetite booster sound inviting tho.
I'll be glad to know the price range of the aformentioned.

Thanks.
bully max is already fine for her I don't think you should add another multivitamin

why do you feel the need to boost her appetite?
is she not eating well?

Maybe she does!!
Maybe she eats when she wants, not when i want her to.
Like today, i served her indomie prepared with grinded crayfish chafs, chicken parts and catfish intestines, was hoping she ought to finish the meal b4 nw, so i'll drop alil diamond and dried meat a treat for d 9t, buh she just picked the chicken parts, catfish intestine and maybe alil of the indomie.
Kinda curious buh it's seems she's ok.
Buh a thing i knw is she will empty her bowl b4 morning (not always though) but i do get tempted to put her away foods at 9t cos, i do take her for walk in the morning.
So i get curious to boost her appetite so she can be eating jaga jaga.

But all this dosn't stop her 1egg/day cos it daily ritual.

NB: she eats more when i'm not around.
Aby if i de, she go de do shakara.
Re: My Female Boerboel .... Her Name Is "Xena" by MrrKay(m): 9:25pm On Sep 04, 2019
Buh i'll like to administer it direct, as i do when she was younger, so when she turns to Queen Xena, it must have become a Habbit, and she'll be familiar and use to it.
Buh the challenge is it's not working out.

maybe that's just her eating pattern, not all dogs eat a lot.
if you want to boost sha you can use multivitamins to boost it

I have a neopolitan mastiff. She would be a year next month. I observed similar traits as you described.

1) Let her night meal be the best and "plentiest"
2) Make sure you grind the meat and crayfish well into the indomie... Dogs are guided by their sense of smell first, before taste.
3) She is gradually becoming an adult so 2 meals a day is becoming excessive.

I dont know how you trained your dog, but mine eats everything. So in the morning (weekdays), I can leave a few cups of dry food in her plate, then at night is the grand "chowing" (Indomie and can food)or (Garri and "draw" soup) surprisingly her favourite. Then on Weekends she has a lot of varieties.

If not that I saw the pics of your dog, I would have said you were describing mine. My dogs name is also Xena

I am just fascinated.
As IamAnderson and Vincentjk said every dog have their eating pattern.
Like today Xena fed much, she munched almost everything i provided.
Buh as u said, i observed she prefer eating at night, so i'll equally adjust to feeding her favourite at 9t, which i'm yet to discover cos she's unpredictable with meals.

For swallow with draw soup esp (okra) which almost everyone have testified how their dog loves it. Unfortunately i have not introduced swallow to xena, i trust which i do, she will be excited tho.

I'm thrilled ur NP is Xena.
Pls can we see the older and elder xena?
Thanks.

What do you mean it’s not pedigree? Ask him for his pedigree details and if he doesn’t have them. Then you can say it’s not pedigree. You CANNOT KNOW IF A DOG IS PEDIGREE OR NOT JUST BY LOOKING AT IT.

Hello fellow Dog Lovers

Pls can we've alil discussion about dog food esp
BONE AND RAW FOOD (BARF)

I've not given my lil princess bone
Though i've the intention of introducing it to her frm her 5th month,
Knowing there ve been alot of agitation n arguement online,

Some website will advice u never to give ur dog uncooked meat, or cooked bone as it may splinter and cause harm to the dog.

Some web will encourage u to feed raw, it keeps the gum and teeth healthy and also make their stool firm, for the parasite and bacteria, the dog stomach is acidic enough to take care of it, tho u gotta keep ur deworming and vacination updated.

This whole thing ve taken the situation to ON YOUR OWN thing (OYO)

Though i still seek for advice here, cos petlanders have never let me down. Buh it was unanswered, 2days ago i decided give raw a trial.
I started with brisket bone, and xena welcomed it in excitement, to be candid, her stool ve any be as firm as this her current chippins.

Dog lovers, what is your take on this?

I started raw feeding in small quantities since he was about 3-4 months.
I started actual raw feeding from about 6months.
you just need to be sure where you get the meat or fish from, make sure you get fresh meat not the one that has been left in the open for several hours.
also it's better if you freeze the meat first, freezing the meat makes it safer for your dog.
I mostly feed frozen meat to my dog, if I can't freeze it,I Cook it.
and you can also serve the meat while it's cold too, it's not bad for your dog and dog's like cold meat, just let it defrost a little so the dog can chew it and serve it even with the ice.
and once you start raw feeding, make sure you deworm your dog regularly, especially it it's a puppy.

I have been feeding raw meat and bones to every dog I've ever had and I haven't had one complication, the advantages greatly out number the possible disadvantages.

just don't make it too frequent, dogs can get addicted to it and refuse to eat any other thing

I think freezing reduces some bacteria contained in raw meat
Re: My Female Boerboel .... Her Name Is "Xena" by MrrKay(m): 10:54pm On Sep 08, 2019
Yea it does reduces enzyme activity and stops the growth of bacteria and molds.

you can also do it with raw eggs, just put it in the fridge(not freezer ooh) and serve cold.
it makes it safer, it preserves it and dogs love cold raw meat and eggs for some reason cheesy
some dogs even if they don't like raw meat, if you serve it frozen they'll eat it.
