treasurevee9: People over exaggerate these things... if I should tell u the history of my family dogs you won't bother reading articles about dogs, to summerise my first petdog stayed with us for 5years before my dad sold her out when we had to relocate in 1995, my dad didn't even know d dos n dont of dogs, I was a kid back then, that dog thrived on leftovers from one of our top hotels cus my mum was a chef there.. a gsd.. d only meds he took was 1tab of ferrus, bco, and multivite (d human pills ooh) my dad would mix it in her food 3ce a week n she never for once fell sick, no b ekuke ooh, better gsd..in 2006 we got another dog but it died a year later because we were nt aware chocolate are poisonous for dogs.. see bros, other than chocolate, onions, n coffee whatelse would u say is bad for dem? A lot of what we humans consume is bad for us.. dogs no get problem at all.. 1 Like |

Rabbitcartel: I agreed with your suggestion but budgeting 15k for parvo treatment is a big NO. I'm still treating my puppy who had parvo and I have spent over 50,000 now . No standard vet will collect 15k for parvovirus treatment. |

Godfirst01: Either ur vet lives in mango street inside banana island or ur dog na rare breed like husky weh ur vet know say no get choice.. my only parvo experience was in 2017, it was a friend that helped me cure it, d guy I bought d pup from, he wasn't responsible for d virus though as d dog was with me for about a month or 2, we went to d pet shop there in festac n all I spent there didn't amount to 7k, which included buying drugs for my rabbit as well, I left the dog with him n picked her up a week later, a bb.. u can get a low budget gsd puppy for as low as 25k, are u saying parvo treatment will buy 2pups?? I don't know the price of the treatment but I mentioned 15k because that was what a breeder said he was billed by his vet for the treatment this lockdown on a facebook or whatsapp dog group, cant remember d one 1 Like |

Godfirst01:Depends on how much the vet bills you, but 50k? is outrageous to me, the only time i spent up to 10k years back treating my dog for parvo the pup died ,was hurt for days...my gsd got ill of parvo last year almost at the point of dying. i took it upon my self giving her Anti biotics ,Bcomplex injections, and kept her hydrated today she is doing wonderfully well...not advising u giving self medications but all parvo is about is fighting the virus while keeping ur dog hydrated. |

All the people saying NO, I wonder the type of advise you give, most of them don't even earn 50k a month and they have dogs. OP 75k a month is more than enough to take care of yourself and your dog and even have a girlfriend. Just like someone said here, with 15k monthly your dog will be fine. Just budget 20k monthly, feed your dog on their food and human food. Not all dogs get attacked by Parvo. My advice on Parvo is that make sure all vaccinations are complete before 16 weeks and don't stroll with the dog till 20 weeks and above. Do as your power reach. GSD is superb too for first time owners. NB: No matter the money spent on dog, you will surely gain it. 1 Like 1 Share |

Rabbitcartel: From my experience, the 50k wasnt the charge for treatment from the vet. My dog vet prescribed some drugs which I bought myself about 5k. He treated the dog for about 2 days and there wasnt a significant improvement. A family medical personnel suggested a new vet for treatment who charged 30k which I wasn't bothered cos all I was after was survival not minding the cost . The new vet did a great job and in few days the puppy health improved drastically. Mind you the former vet incurred some expenses for drips and other injections administered for the two days duration which I still have to offset. No amount is too much to revive a dying dog but 15k charge isn't possible |

Op I know someone that successfully treated parvo for his dog. Recently at that and he didn't even spend up to 20k he did the treatment himself. |

Yes! You can buy a very quality dog And still feed it properly with 75k. It all depends on you and how much sacrifice you are willing to make. You will only spend more during the first few months on vacination, after that I can assure you that if properly managed, you will not spend up to 10k monthly. Infact you can feed 3 dogs 5 Likes |

setobaba:Even the gsd u want to buy will even eat its poo. Everything is training. U would be surprised to what a local dog can become. Mine understands basic commands like sit, stay ,eat , come and go. Go for a gsd. They are lovely dogs. U must be ready to work in order to get the best outcome. U can feed rice with fish, indomie with fish etc. Mine mostly eats Rice and Titus , grounded guinea corn with cray fish and fresh fish, raw chicken mostly on weekends.

Get a 17kg dry dog food ( it will last you for a month) Meet the food vendor around your side for left over (give her 500 naira weekly) Buy their supplements also Alternate the feeding pattern Mix the dry food with the left over (op most dog love soup) Also feed your dog the food which you eat You ain't running a large kernel yet so it won't cost you much Deworm your dog monthly and exercise him/her and you'd have a healthy dog. No go kill yourself because say you dey train dog. Aidejay:Funny enough my dogs eats all this stuff except mango and beans (probably cus I haven't fed them yet) and they ain't ekuke (I should have used the word local,but all dogs are local breed in their nationality) 1 Like |

Here’s my feeding expenses for 2 dogs(You can slash it by half) 2 bags of optimal puppy dry food for a month- 24k(1 bag will be enough for you) Monthly deworming plus endo and ecto parasite injections -6k Meat(weekly) -5k Expenses include leash, collar, comb etc which solely depends on the quality you’re getting and how long it last for you Price for vaccination actually depends on your vet |

Godfirst01: When my gsd had parvo in 2017 all the vets around me rejected my dog and assured me it'll die within the next few days. After many month I revisited them again with my gsd and they couldn't believe it, even the ones that said I bought an ekuke mix all ate their words. I did the treatment myself which I spent less than 5k for everything |
