Can I Be On 75K Salary And Still Own A Dog ?? by setobaba: 7:39am On Apr 29, 2020
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

I got the GSD puppy about this time last year
I named her Update
And now she’s preggy, in few weeks she should have her first litter. Start booking
I fed the dog well
And at the end, this is my conclusion,
You can surely own a dog with a 75k salary earnings, provided you have not other mouth to feed apart from you and the dog.

Setobaba, you can own a dog, if you will be feeding it Amala, eba and yam (my Gift loves noodles and yam). Just make sure you give it plenty meat and protein. Befriend your local baba eleran and collect his number so he can be letting you know when he has left over bones. Make sure you boil the bones well so you don't give you animal tapeworm. Cook your dog mash and add the bones. We buy 5kg dog mash for 4,800 and he and his brother, White finish it in about 2weeks or so.

Also budget for the most essential injections, especially anti-Parvo injection.

It's not that hard. It's like taking care of children. Good thing is you're not paying school fees.

Actually the salary is not my only hustle just using that as yardstick to get valid responses. I’ve seen couple of dogs been fed with the same meal prepared in the house, and those dogs still looks very attractive just that as you said up there , they sometimes feeds him with can food but not alway since he’s over 6weeks old. Thanks for this contribution and about their vaccines does it always cost and most it’s be taken monthly or once a while . What other expanses comes with a dog

About 100K but I have another side hustle that can take care of that ... what I’m saying the 75K is just for my self and the dog. Can’t we still survive ? I actually plan on venturing into dog rearing business but still I have to own one first before considering it

Our dog takes the Parvo and rabies injection once a year, every August. Our vet also recommended a deworming tablet which we force feed him with once we notice the worms are getting out of hand. Other than that no biggie. Make sure you train your dog with eba alongside dog mash so that any day you can't afford the mash, eba to the rescue.

However, he must eat meat and bones. No negotiation

Don't mind the naysayers. 75k is more than enough for you and your child dog.

Lol. Why won't 75k be enough? Some families survive on less than that, talk less of you and a 15kg animal.

You can start immediately. It's training.

Asides eba, you can give it Amala and soup, (my dog likes wheat), mashed yam and stew, moi moi etc. I am yet to see a dog that is not crazy over moi moi.

The vaccine is 5k
