Pls help I just got a boarboel as a pet. Though i've constantly visited the pet section and seen different topics and comment and have the desire to own one because I really wanted to have an idea on how to take care of any dog I purchase.
But the problem is my dog is not eating anything I give to it no matter what, except ordinary fish, meat or bone. But when mixed with other food it would just sniff it and ignore. I was advised to deworm and administer other treatment which the vet already did but still no response. Should I return the dog because I look at it and have pity but it's not my fault and I don't want the trend to continue like this

Na Ekeuke you buy? Very Ugly dog! Carry am sell to Okon biko.

If it's possible to return it I will advise you to do that. The only problem is that you may encounter this same challenge next time. Will you equally return it.

Try and find out what the puppy was being fed before you took it. Sometimes in our quest to give our doggy friends the best, we pamper and spoil them

Hi amarudeen don't sell the dog, sorry no one told you that u will go through this on your first dog, when you first get a dog they can be very selected in the kind of food they eat, the only thing they don't reject is milk, fish , meat and egg ( fried or raw).

When I got my German Sherperd she was so selective but I keep repeating those foods she rejects , sometimes I will use the meat water to mix her food gradually she started eating it , now this guy eats anything including eba , amala hahahahahahaha things that I don't even eat lol , so in a matter of time she will eat them she is still a baby now, but keep giving her those foods , gradually she will start eating them .
For now just keep giving her egg and milk and fish and meat lol, also try banana just mash it a lil bit and give her . Also buy a dry puppy dog food

That is their problem. They feel because they are already expert on dogs means they never started as a novice

return him, buy a better and pure bred dog...if u see other people's Boerboal and ur Boerboal, u might just end up hating it in future...if ur money is not up to a standard pure bred own u could buy a Gsd

U get time dey reply dat guy. Someone dat dosent even own a rabbit

That dog might have been sold to you as a brindle boarbl, well...it might be and might be mixed and might be a pure mongrel.

But that's not why we are here.

Your dog is not eating abi? Here are few tips that will help.

Don't feed it for straight up 24hrs

But make sure she gat water all day.

Now buy 100naira fish 'shawa'

Boil the fish normally with spice, add enough water, and cook it straight up with rice or dog noodles.

When it's done enough, mix it with any of d dog crunches... 'arion, bingo, just any'

Mix evrytin together and serve when it's cool.

If she no chop am ehn?

Royruky:


This your comment shall....

Can't you have a GSD that is a standard pure breed

that is what am saying na....like u can get a standard pure bred Gsd without having up to d amount of buying a regular pure bred Boerboal...

But I notice dat d dog only eats when u don't feed it for like straight 24hrs. Because I tried repeating d same procedure of boiling fish and rice for it but it refuse eating it. It surely looks like d dog is very picky
