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

You can have a dog with such amount of income. People over hype the cost of maintaining a dog. Though it's sometime very expensive to maintain especially when you experience unforseen medical challenge which might necessity emergency spending. You can opt for home made food to feed your dog and occasional Cann food which are sold in units as well . . People even maintain a family with less of your income and heaven didn't fall.

Better find local breed. Use that one learn work first, they will eat everything yam, bread, rice, beans, mango, amala, semovita, garri and palm oil, I've fed one coconut before and it ate it. They can also be trained and disciplined.

Yenefer:

Golden Retriever, Bichon or boxer

Never heard of such breeds any pictures of them ??

I had wondered if the cost of maintaining a dog is more than that of child cos I’ve seen families surviving on lesser income and still own a dog

Haha. Don't mind them.

You can maintain a dog depending on your budget. Same way some children attends private university and some government owned University and still do far better ... Ironically, i have a 4months old Boerboel puppy well feed with booster can food and booster puppy dry food. All vaccines regularly taken. And my landlord owns a mix breed of Boerboel and a local breed. Never vaccinated, feed on eba or garri mixed with milk once daily. The dog was very active and security alert. Recently my puppy manifest parvo signs and was immediately treated by two different vet which cost me a whole lot of money.

Chief if you re determined about it then it's doable, yes you can own one..but you have to be smart and experienced about it.. you have to know your budget and introduce the foods you can afford very early to the dog so he can get used to it...At puppy stages the expenses may seem high because of constant feeding and vaccination but at adult hood feeding becomes one or twice a day...A GSD is a good breed to start with as the initial cost of owning is cheaper and they re easily trainable

If you don’t mind, what’s the actual cost for the parvo threatment

Actually you have to vaccinate your pup ahead of it...the vaccination comes in three tranches of two weeks interval my vet charged 3k each thats 9k total...but even after vaccination you have to be careful your dog doesn't near any local dog because they are the main carrier and distributors of parvo

You just increased my interest..pls bro abt training a dog especially knowing where to pee and others, is all that going to doneby me by a dog instructor

The cost varies. First vet prescript some drugs which cost about 5,000. He administered drips and injections for two days which I was only charged and no significant improvement so I engaged another vet who charged 30,000. Sum total I have spent more than 50,000. But the virus can be preventable and unfortunately the preventive vaccines didn't work in my case.

It's called potty training...it ll be done by you and it's relatively easy...all you have to do is monitor when the puppy wants to pee/poo (usually when he/she starts sniffing the floor Suddenly) imediately take it to the desired spot....in just a week or so it ll start going there by it's self

Like that your Ekuke rottweiler?

Ishilove:

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

oh of course ....Ekuke Mastiff or Ekuke rottweiler can eat anything

Bros, dont mind people saying you can't own a dog with your salary. People with 50k salary give birth. Do you know how much is baby food? Pampers? Booster dog food is 19k that will take your dog for a month. Other supplements can't take you 6k. 25k on your dog monthly is cool. No go do pass yourself bro. I remember the first month i bought my dogs, i spent over 90k on can food alone for 2 dogs, not to mention injections and the rest, but now i draw out a budget of 50k max for my 2 dogs monthly and they are doing real fine. Cut your coat accordingly to your size brother

If your monthly expenses for your two dogs is 50K then an average of 30K won’t be too much for a single dog

seun this is your zone

Lalasticalala pls help my life let’s hear dog owners experience on this

Op.. most of these people saying u can't either spend excessively on their dogs, or they dont even own one.. a fully grown guard dog can live healthy on a 10k-15k budget a month, it's not until u waste money on over priced dog foods.. this is something I've learnt being a livestock producer, it's not about the brand of feed but it's composition, u can get mixed noodles at the rate of 300-350 per kilo 10kilos =3500, budget another 3500 for other foods bcoa you'll need to give him something z differen every now ans then, dats 7k weh go still enter d next month, budjet d remaining 8k for medications which u might not need.. most kennels have their recipes, most vets use crushed noodles, all des foreign foods are being used by pple that own dogs as pets or security, the pple they bought those dogs from make use of local recipie.. I know of a guy with a massive Caucasian, and a rot/gsd mix.. he got them as pup and na leftovers weh he dey feed dem everyday since puppy ooh, leftover from a booker in his street he pays 500naira a week and he gets more than enough food for 3 massive dogs on a daily bases.. ignore what thos pple saying u can't are talking about.. they didnt even ask what u have to budget for d dog dem just dey shout u cant, d major concern is parvovirus, juat save up like 15k for that just incase.. otherwise ur good

Hope you know the spices used in preparing human food are not good for dogs.

Don't mind people discouraging you on owning and feeding a dog on a N75k salary lol, most of them don't even own the ekuke they're advising you to get talk more of a gsd lmao

I own(d) good looking boerboels, a gsd and rott and I'm not even rich sef, just go through my thread on dog diary and you'll get to learn how to make cheap affordable dog foods which is for mostly people with more than one dog, you can actually get a bag of dry food which would serve your pup up to a month

We can talk on WhatsApp and I'll put you through, stop listening to what they're saying here
