She's just four days in place and she's not eating very well, the man that sold her to me told me he feed them with all kinds of food. She only ate goat meat pepper soup, fish pepper soup and noodles prepared with egg. She's eating well now, thank u guys i took most of advised from here and in just two weeks my pupp is looking really beautiful each time i walk her out around my neighborhood almost everyone is loving her.

I hope the pepper soup you’ve been feeding isn’t the one we cook with spices and all o? These animals can be sensitive to all these things at this age, curtail the amount of spicy human food you feed. That’s a beautiful puppy you’ve got(looks like a pure sable GSD, but also looks like a GSD mix). Just feed the puppy well with enough protein and it’s gonna do great.

Spaghetti/noodles together with meat/fish/egg should do,Add some milk (atleast once in a while)
Note:if you're home feeding her remember to give her multivitamins

can i still feed her with our normal human food?

Okpotud:

Yh well it all depends on you (your budget)and your dog (some dogs can be picky) the main side effect is MALNUTRITION as your pup might not be getting the necessary nutrients it needs

For example,when my pup was growing up I was more focused on giving her more of protein (meat/fish/egg) and calcium (bone),some days she'll consume a whole chicken (This helped her growth)

But it's advisable to feed your pup with puppy food atleast till it's 8 months old (this is essential for their growth and bone formation), it'll enable your puppy grow well and strong without you worrying much.....by the way how old is she?

Okpotud:
can i still feed her with our normal human food?

Yes, once in a while. Not the ones that contain much spice. It’s best you cook for them, they sell crushed noodles in most pet stores, you can get that, cook it with little stock cube, salt and mix with fish, meat, dog food, or whatever form of protein you have to spice up their appetite. I’m sure there are cheap forms of protein around you. You can get catfish digestive tract, wash, cook and use to prepare food for the puppy. Cod liver oil is also very vital.

Okpotud:

Yes you can,but not all the time you can indomie waste with chicken head you can see for 10naira per one i.e my location i dont know fr yours.
Feed her with egg,meat,rice,milk give her more protein.
Nice dog you gat there

As a puppy, your dog needs enough protein. For the feeding, you can go for regular dry food, canned food or personally prepared food. And for personally prepared,
I'd advice you to use rice because, spaghetti or noodles are fibers, this will cause your dog's poo to be watery and it's not a healthy sight. For your protein you can use either egg, meat or fish.
You can prepare it by cooking your rice white(no salt) then pre heat (egg or meat or fish) then mix with the rice, add either olive oil, palm oil or coconut oil, then add carrots and spinach.
Feeding your puppy taking milk, milk should stop when she's 4months of age, so as to avoid diarrhea. As of now, she needs enough milk and eggs(pre heat for 2 minutes) mixed together in the morning an hour before she eats her main food. You can do this once or twice a week.
You can get Xtreme booster, multivitamins, zito booster oil as supplements.

Fibers don’t cause watery poop o boss. Fibers actually help solidify stool bro... fibers regulate constipation... plus noodles and pasta no be just fiber na, you just dey exaggerate the thing. It’s when the food is not prepared properly, taken in too fast that it can lead to loose stool. Plus, why would you say a dog needs milk till it’s 4 months? Why would their mum wean them if they’d still need the milk? Look bro, dogs have a tendency to enjoy human foods and, like other human foods, evaporated milk should only be given to a dog in moderation. Just because you see them enjoy eating it doesn’t make it healthy for them. It is important to understand that many dogs are lactose intolerant and drinking cow's milk or concentrated versions of cow's milk, such as evaporated milk, can cause stomach upsets. Plus OP, abeg no give that puppy anything wey contain chocolate. Have a nice day, and raise that puppy well.

I don't enjoy argument, but I guess experience teaches faster. I said he should stop feeding his dog milk after 4 months and not before, because you cannot tell a dog that's lactose intolerant until you've experienced it. I learnt all these the late way. Whenever you give a beginner and advice, let him understand the reason for such, not because it works for you, doesn't mean it would go the same way for him.

Oga what are you even saying? Who is arguing here? You posting screenshots of things gotten from the internet like it’s not the same thing I was talking about! I obviously pointed out giving them human food only in moderation, and it had to be prepared properly. Omo, OP, just take care of your puppy.

See ehn guy, we both actually want the best for the puppy. But the other guy now dey feel say me and am dey get argument or dey drag who get knowledge pass... all I did was give an advice based on the loop I saw in the advice he gave... but him now come dey go online dey do research like say I been talk otherwise the same thing they wrote in the screenshots he posted. I specifically pointed out feeding in small portions, and also, I corrected him when he made mention of noodles and spaghetti being fibers, and talks about fiber causing loose stool and all that. The puppy isn't mine, I just want to enlighten the owner, gaskiya!

Sir,nobody said you're wrong,I was only trying to say there's no need to argue over it,you gave your opinion and he also gave his own too...infact we both suggested noodles and pasta and till now they're a huge part of my dog's favorite dish/delicacy and she's doing fine... although just like harmageddon said sometimes I notice watery poo (although only when I add Jojo can food so I guess this might be the cause) but that doesn't mean it is dangerous for the dog (see it as telling a teen not to take junks not that it will outrightly harm the teen but such a kid might end up spending quality time in the toilet)

In conclusion,no one is wrong here he has a reason for not wanting to use noodles and pasta,that doesn't flag the pasta and noodles as dangerous for the dog's health,I hope you get what I mean...After I noticed the watery poo I reduced the pasta/noodles routine and because I was suspicious of the can food causing it,most times I either give her red meat/chicken meat.
