And yes you re right i cant prove the nutritional content, since its now rocket science to deduce that
Intestines = protein, vitamins( selenium, calcium, e.t.c) unsaturated fat

Sharwa fish = protein, vitamin D, calcium, oil

Cow by product= fat, protein, vitamins

Bones = calcium

Veggies= vitamins

Not to talk of the already calculated formula of bingo dry food

But well its none of my business, i know what i am seeing from constantly feeding my pup the soup mixture plus bingo dry food.

intestine doesn't contain vitamins or calcium BTW so you can scratch that off

anyways, it's your choice what you want to feed your dog.
I see the problem here is that you're angry canned food costs a lot because your argument is favouring dry food and condemning canned food which is kinda ridiculous since they are the same thing.

no one is stopping you from feeding your dog what you want, stop trying to spread wrong unfounded information about what you don't know because of your vendetta against cost

Gabrokpara001:
You obviously didn't read the part where i said i add bingo puppy dry food to the mixture/soup....or you now want to tell me phosphorus isnt in bingo?
Also not saying its better than dry food( i too use bingo). Go back and read. can food is what i am disputing the quality.
I ll rather add the soup mix with dry puppy food, than dry puppy food with can food

I thought you said dog food is just preservatives?
why then are you using it as filler?
and also...you do realize dry food and canned food is the same thing right?
you are even advised to serve them together, your hatred for the canned food comes from the fact that it costs 1k to get two tins
not the nutritional components, if it were nutrition you were bothered about you wouldn't have used dry food because they are the same thing
somebody that is concerned about the preservatives his dogs are consuming will use rice and fillers instead and somebody that is concerned about nutrition will use actual meat and not by-products.

Gabrokpara001:
With less than 1000( at least 1k will get you two can foods) you ll get this two pots

Contents
Chicken intestines
Cow by product
Sharwa fish
Biscuits bones
Veg

I haven't added veggies in the pic cos i have started steaming *

This will last a puppy days. Beat your chest and tell me can food is better than the below combo, tell me one nutrient missing here?

Again the only disadvantage is time to prepare. It takes me nothing to buy 3 catoons of can food but i am one that goes for optimal value therefor i repeat can food is a complete waste of resources if you study the nutrients properly u too ll discover the bitter truth, even most can food are made up of more grain(rice) that protein, then only make it appear in chunks so it ll look meaty.

see what I said?
you've already started bringing up the fact that homemade meals are cheaper, this is the reason why we all do it instead.
do you really expect preserved imported food to be the same price with things you cooked from the market? I don't get your point

oh and Royal canine dog food is still better than this your recipe although I have to admit you put in effort.
this thing you are saying is ridiculous
you are not working for any dog food brand neither have you worked with animal nutritionists before.
all these things you are saying are speculations you come up with because dog food is expensive.
I bet you if a bag of dog food was 2-3k we wouldn't be having this conversation.
you guys will just stay at home and come up with conspiracys about dog food to give yourself a pat on the back because you didn't want to spend the money and you needed a more economic route.
show us the nutrients you studied to see they are mostly made of rice quickly

Gabrokpara001:
Mr i know it all. First of all the booster can food doesnt contain actual meat, it is animal by-product ( the same byproduct you called waste) and it is only 4% like out of 100/100, the animal by-product is only 4/100.
Secondly maybe if you had asked me how i prepare my chicken intestines instead assuming i just mix rice then i would have told you i add shawa fish,cow by product and veggie to make a good complete nutrients filled soup at which i add bingo puppy dry food as filler, i bet you its more economical and better than your lovely booster, only disadvantage is it takes time to prepare.
Thirdly booster can food is only popular here in this part of the world because people dont actually take time to study its nutrional content, if you compare booster can food with other top can food brand you ll discover the gap in quality. Check it

Lastly you said chicken intestines is low in protein and high in fat? Where did you see that, studies has actually shown that meat from animal organs contains good level of protein and lesser amount of fats from muscle meats check it i dont have the energy or strength to come and be wasting my data here

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4682518/

I appreciate you referring to me as "Mr know it all" honestly it's a compliment because I only talk on things I'm sure off.
first of all, I'd like to see pictures of you in the factory where booster dog food is produced, I'll also like to see you with the animal nutritionists that calculated the components of booster dog food so we can all see where you got these your numbers from
are you just guessing the ingredients used to make food you have never had any first hand knowledge about?
and also who told you brands that people don't check for quality is what comes to Nigeria?.
you do realize that dog food is produced in different countries in the world and they are shipped to Nigeria based on demand right?.
it's ridiculous and self hate if you believe Nigeria gets the worst brands.
have you even checked the nutritional components of booster? you do realize it's better than almost all the dog food brands we have in this country right?
you feed your dog bingo and you're condemning booster.
oh and about the chicken intestine thing, compare it pls

PAQ:
Potty training (house training) began from day one with good results. For those who dont know what it is; it means training your dog where and when to defecate, because all that food and poop has to go somewhere.

Its very tedious but rewarding at the end. Puppies eat 3 to 4 times a day and will defecate twice as much. This is what i do; in the morning take the dog to a designated poop area, wait for it to do its thing, then praise her for it. After her first meal take her to that same spot in 10minutes time she will go again, praise her... Do thesame thing after every meal.

The idea is that a dog will want to pee/urine after waking up, after everymeal, after playing. If you want to keep your dog indoors, take it out every 2hrs(puppies cant hold it long yet) to thesame spot. The dog will smell the area and know its a defecating spot. Remember to praise/give treats after it defecates in her area. As she grows it will poop less and can hold it longer until u take it to its poop area.

Today i also start teaching her simple tricks like sit before i give her a meal and how to fetch a ball. So far she learnt to fetch almost immediately, but sitting is work in progress.

she's cute
I'm sure she'll destroy that ball when she's older lol

Gabrokpara001:
No one is saying chicken intestines is more nutricious than main chicken,and i am also guessing op cant constantly keep feeding his dogs main chicken everyday.
Who told you chicken intestines is low on protein content? Even if it is , i dont agree with you that booster can food offers more,when boster can food is still made with same animal by-products . The only difference is additional preservatives and industrially processed mini ingredients which you surely cant compare with low temperature cooked intestines,for vitamins one can add vegie , for calcium your dry food has it. Mix all and serve.
Can foods are the greatest dog food scam you should know this since you have a keen eyes for nutritional content. one can only get them maybe because of lack of time to prepare good meal for his best friend

first of all, chicken intestine is actually low on protein and high in fat and cholesterol.
and who told you that it offers more than booster dog food? are you serious?
idk where you guys get this idea that you can just cook animal waste and rice at home and compare it with one of the leading dog food brands in the market
good dog food actually contains actual meat, veggies and the rest of the other components that make it what it is, the idea you have that dog food is subpar and made from just by products and preservatives is really wrong.

and what do you mean "for calcium dry food has it"?, isn't dry food the same thing with canned food? isn't OP feeding his dog both?
so your advice to him now is that he should take out the wet variant because it is made up of by-products and preservatives and still feed the dry variant that has exactly the same nutritional make up with the wet one for calcium? does that make sense?

dog food isn't a scam BTW, get a good brand and your dog will do well on it, if you prefer home made feed then it's your choice also.
one thing I don't understand is when people buy dog food to boost their puppies when they get a good litter, they also buy puppies that were brought up with dog food but then they come around to bad mouth it with no solid backing whatsoever.
one thing that is a fact is that cooking animal waste and rice in your kitchen cannot compare to any good dog food brand, if you want to argue you can tell me your recipe and we'll dissect the nutritional content like how we did with the intestine and see.
as you can see, the chicken intestine didn't even contain calcium that is one of the basic requirements of puppy nutrition neither did it contain the protein you thought it did.
let's not even go into probiotics, minerals, calcium:phosphorus ratio, and selenium, all things you don't even consider when making home cooked meals but dog food does.
tbh it's your choice what you want to feed your dog but the facts will remain the same,let's not pretend like it isn't the truth.

Gabrokpara001:
Chief your pup is beautiful and have a potential of growing big with the right meal.
I advice you put her on chicken intestines diet, it's very nutricious and relatively cheap...if you do so ur pups growth ll amaze you

chicken intestine isn't that nutritious tho...it's not even as nutritious as the main chicken body.
it's mostly fat and oil, sodium, cholesterol, zero vitamins, zero calcuim with low protein content.
it's just cheap to get and it has a good aroma that dogs like and that's all, its not a super food or anything, its just chicken by-product.
the feed he's giving the dog is a whole lot better than intestines

prosper87:
when I was reading ur experience with Roscoe at a point I felt like crying thumbs up to Roscoe

wow, you're welcome

Spanishmilf:
I love the Caucasian sheroerd. But the grooming and maintenance is not for me.

yeah that's true, it's not easy keeping the dog's coat in good shape especially in this area.

olamirewaju6190:
The thing is most guys here have rotts so they just kinda conclude rott is a better security dog to pit, pitbull are rear to come by in this country due to that fact that it has been barred in most countries because of his temperamental and aggresivnesa even to his owner if not properly trained.. If you looking to guard dog against petty thieves and alert you when strangers are around get a rott, but against armed thieves get a pitbull, those dogs will just attack anything that moves and wey agile like very agile and the most muscular dog we have around

first of all, pitbulls aren't banned in Nigeria
second of all, they aren't banned in "most" countries neither are they the only banned breed in some countries.
several breeds are banned in several countries and the bans are not even complete bans, in America only few states have a ban against pitbulls so I don't know why you guys always bring this up like it's such a big deal that the breed has been banned somewhere.
https://petolog.com/articles/banned-dogs.html
open that link and see the list of banned dogs in several countries, even boerbels,gsd, rotts and Caucasians made the list but only pitbulls you guys carry on your head and shove into any conversation about the breed without even fully understanding the ban laws.
also...why are you saying that the breed got banned for being unstable but you're also saying it's a good guard dog??.
does that make sense to you?, is that supposed to be an argument that goes in the favour of a dog being a good guard dog? "it can attack even it's owner so it's a good guard dog" lol okay.
thirdly, rotts are actually used to take down armed attackers, same with gsd and malinios,have you ever seen anyone using or recommending a pitbull for that?
did you just say a rott is for alerting you about intruders?
you do realize rotts have more human aggression than pitbulls right? a pitbull is more willing to direct it's aggression on an animal than a human but you won't know that from the gist you hear and the pictures you look at online
fourthly, pitbulls are not one of the most muscular breeds not to talk of the most muscular.
from what you said here it shows you also don't know about the breed and you're speaking based on gist so the first four lines of your comment are already null

wizi44:
thanks chief

uwlc

Segunhife:
I have been giving him the same thing since day one which is chicken and indomie, and also dry food too

so he has been eating the same meal as usual.
okay how often do you deworm him?

wizi44:
you said in one of your posts that Roscoe does not have food, fear, dog aggression. My question is, how were you able to stop it if Roscoe had it? or how were you able to stop it from developing?

oh okay
to tackle food aggression you have to show the dog that you have the authority to take away his food at any time.
it's best done when the dog is still a pup.
before you feed the dog, give it the sit command and do not drop the food until it's sitting.
then while it's eating, take away the food and do not drop it until the dog is obeying you and sitting again.
this will show the dog that you have the power to take away it's meal at any time and with time, even as the dog is an adult you can simply pick up it's plate while eating and it'll sit and wait for you to drop it back instead of growling or biting you.
another way is to put your hand into the dog's mouth frequently to desensitize the dog to you taking things from it's mouth.
you'll appreciate this when it's time to give tablets or you have to pull out something dangerous from your dog's mouth.
once in a while, give your dog something and put your hand in it's mouth and take it back, then don't return it until the dog is sitting and waiting for you to return it.
then another method is to put your hand in your dog's meal to drop things the dog likes so the dog will associate your hands in it's food with something good.
if you do all this, even as an adult, your dog will let you take and put anything inside it's mouth of plate.

Segunhife:
Mr Anderson sir, Blaze faeces is always watery, is it normal?

did you just switch his diet?

wizi44:
pls can you share how you stopped the food aggression

uhmm sorry, what food aggression?
I can't really remember

Spanishmilf:
Abeg if u get Caucasian at that price range quote me abeg

he said 45k for the gsd not the Caucasian lol

Segunhife:
Mr Anderson sir, so I discovered today that Blaze is cool and also gentle, tho he plays on his own or whenever someone is playing with him unlike Ruby, she's restless doesn't get tired of playing unless she wants to sleep, very agile and active.
Could it be because of his age or that's how they are naturally at puppy stage. I wouldn't want a cool and gentle Caucasian when it start growing

he's still a puppy, different puppies have different behaviors growing up.
it doesn't necessarily mean that's how the dog's adult behavior will be.
he's still getting used to his new home and growing

Segunhife:
Ruby and Blaze

they are cute

agboedeh:
wow wow wow kendra looks really nice. I love warrior so much, looks like a DDR. Roscoe is supposed to be jealous, only him used to get all the attention. Congrats bro, am so happy as if am the one that just got the dog.

thank you bro

Dreazy23:
@iamanderson, congrats mehn

thank you

Geepee77:
Yes one of them. How do I go about it?

wish I could help but these ones are already taken

Spanishmilf:
when you brought the dog to your house how is roscoes? Was he aggressive or shy towards them?
I guess roscoe will be jealous now

uhm actually Roscoe refused to stay with warrior at all.
so warrior has been sent back, I'll take one of warrior's pups instead when the bitch he just mated litters.
warrior still comes around sometimes to spend the day but he cannot stay because of Roscoe becomes very aggressive towards him.
the last time he came, Roscoe was biting and shaking the door of his kennel to attack him, he even tried hitting the door open so I'm not willing to take that risk.
but as for Roscoe and kendra..they started off bad lol he was bullying her and they fought a few times, he bit her twice this morning too but they have calmed down.
they can stay in the same kennel together now without issues, just occasional growls.
but he's still very jealous of her, anytime he sees her having fun with us he chases her away of comes to overshadow her

jln115:
naaahhh he doesn't herd ;DJust protects.....

he's a good boy

Segunhife:
I got a GSD few weeks ago and I'm waiting for the arrival of my caucasian today or tomorrow. Pictures of both coming soon . My ogas in the house I'll be needing your support to bring out a better breed in them. Thanking you all in anticipation

lol we'll be waiting

jln115:
Mike with his flock Today

nice to see he actually herds

Geepee77:
Would love to adopt one too, how can I go about it?

one of them?

wizi44:
I love warriors colour. where did you get him from?

A friend, his colour pattern is very beautiful

warrior too says hi

say hello to newly adopted kendra

Ozonexy:
@IamAnderson... sincerely pictures don't do justice to this breed or probably it's Nigeria scerene or the phones ... believe me I came across a Caucasian recently, on phone I thought dis is a miniature not until we hooked up and I saw things myself...hence I believe King is way bigger.tnx

lol true

Namdeenero:
King is an old boy, close to 4 or 5 years

he's kinda small but he has a nice head tho
