I like owls

And already I like you

When you want to buy an item that u aren't sure of its quality i advice you enter a well recognized store and buy it, that wey you can always walk back and demand for your cash back. When you by from shopless and street hackers what you see you take.

i personally believe that the extra you pay in shops is for "Peace of Mind"
But all the same SORRY BRO

Nice letter from the CG but how does he implement it and make the system transparent for everyone to see. A letter of intent is written by everyone taking over office only very few ever deliver on their words

Your welcome hope you have a registered company or at least an enterprise

Well the answer to this question should actually be contained in your proposal but let me try and answer 1. You payment terms are dependent on your proposal and the company policy, are you offering to supply and then they pay or do they mobilize you with a percentage of your quotation.

As for tax
Your bill should contain VAT (5%) or items are higher but revenue tax is on your profit so u can't double charge for that. I hope that clears it up

Bro what year is this and what model
When was it registered and are u in Lagos

Are you Bernard's still available

A dog is a dog. Whether mixed breed, full breed or local breed. Be good to a dog and he/she would be good and loyal to you. RIP Snoopy

I like batgirl already we need to walk together can I pm u

Nigerian's are so pathetic. Your president makes an appointment and all they do is talk about origin,tribe and ethnicity.
Whatever happened to how the appointees will affect the economy and security of the country. Why they were appointed and what the mandate from the president is to them.

This story is just a made up lie. It's so sad that people will give a dog a bad name in order to kill it.
Too bad dogs can't speak in there own defence

Wow wow wow this stories are amazing imaging living in one of this story.

And most of them are mixed breeds yet people spend all their time shouting bloodline

Hurray to the great dogs of this world

Nice to see the idea of dog walking is catching on, this has to become an individual habit among dog owners in Nigeria. Well done on walk.

But i have to ask what happened to the caucasian as its not normal for a dog to die from walking was it exhaustion? over heating or what exactly?

If we know better we act better.

OP you dog is "shouting" cause its in a new environ away from its mom and sibling just like any child would do in this situation.

SOLUTION - You need to pet this dog and show it some love any form of reassurance would be nice get it out of the cage and allow it to get to know its new home when you win its trust it'll calm down and from crying all the time it'll advance to when you leave him alone to not crying at all. Your new dog is lovely and is as beautiful as the love you show it.

Raw Dog Food: Dietary Concerns, Benefits, and Risks

Raw dog food diets are controversial. But the popularity of the diets -- which emphasize raw meat, bones, fruits, and vegetables -- is rising.

Racing greyhounds and sled dogs have long eaten raw food diets. Extending those feeding practices to the family pet is a more recent idea, proposed in 1993 by Australian veterinarian Ian Billinghurst. He called his feeding suggestions the BARF diet, an acronym that stands for Bones and Raw Food, or Biologically Appropriate Raw Food.

Billinghurst suggested that adult dogs would thrive on an evolutionary diet based on what canines ate before they became domesticated: Raw, meaty bones and vegetable scraps. Grain-based commercial pet foods, he contended, were harmful to a dog’s health.

Healthy Dogs Guide: Diet and Nutrition Tips
Many mainstream veterinarians disagree, as does the FDA. The risks of raw diets have been documented in several studies published in veterinary journals.

Potential benefits of the raw dog food diet that supporters tout include:

Shinier coats
Healthier skin
Cleaner teeth
Higher energy levels
Smaller stools

Potential risks include:

Threats to human and dog health from bacteria in raw meat
An unbalanced diet that may damage the health of dogs if given for an extended period
Potential for whole bones to choke an animal, break teeth or cause an internal puncture
Since Billinghurst’s book,Give Your Dog a Bone, was published, several other types of raw dog food diets have emerged, including commercially processed raw food diets that are frozen or freeze-dried and combination diets that use blends of grains, vegetables, and vitamins that are mixed with raw meat purchased by the owner at the grocery store.

Raw dog food recipes and meal suggestions are readily found online and in books. Interest from pet owners continues to grow, with the widespread recall of melamine-contaminated pet food in 2007 bringing in new followers.

Raw dog food diet: What it is

A raw dog food diet typically consists of:

Muscle meat, often still on the bone
Bones, either whole or ground
Organ meats such as livers and kidneys
Raw eggs
Vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and celery
Apples or other fruit
Some dairy, such as yogurt

“For most animals, it’s more beneficial than processed foods,” says Doug Knueven, DVM, of the Beaver Animal Clinic in Beaver, Pa.

Knueven specializes in holistic medicine and also consults for Nature’s Variety, a Lincoln, Neb.-based manufacturer of frozen raw food diets as well as cooked dry and canned foods.

Barbara Benjamin-Creel of Marietta started giving raw food to her three dogs after Scooter, a German Shepherd, was diagnosed with cancer. The diet change came too late to help Scooter, she says, but the other dogs are thriving after two years on raw dog food. The 11-year-old dogs seem more energetic, and one with chronic digestive problems tolerates the raw diet better.

“The change in the coat was pretty immediate,” Benjamin-Creel says. “Also, their breath was much better.”

Benjamin-Creel makes the food herself, giving yogurt in the morning and raw ground pork, turkey, or beef mixed with some rice in the evening. To cut costs, she stocks up on ground meat when it’s on sale. “It’s not cheap,” she says, “but I think we’ve avoided a lot of old-age issues.”

The cost of a raw dog food diet varies with the ingredients used and how it is prepared. For a 30-pound dog, a one-day supply of one variety of a frozen, commercially available raw chicken diet costs about $2.50; others may range up to $5 a day. A super-premium, commercial dry dog food costs about $1.

Raw Dog Food Diet: What the research shows

Lisa M. Freeman, DVM, PhD, headed an evaluation of raw dog food diets published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Association in 2001. She cautions pet owners against them, saying that many dog owners are choosing raw diets based on online myths and scare tactics about commercial pet food.

For pet owners who want to avoid commercial food, Freeman advises a cooked homemade diet designed by a nutritionist certified by the American College of Veterinary Nutrition.

Freeman, a nutrition professor at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, says that many of the benefits attributed to a raw food diet for dogs, such as a shinier coat, instead are the result of the high fat composition of the typical raw diet. High-fat commercial foods that would produce the same effect are available, she notes, without the risk of an unbalanced diet. Supplements can also be used as an alternative to increasing fat in the diet.

The evaluation looked at five raw diets, three homemade and two commercially available. All had nutritional deficiencies or excesses that could cause serious health problems when given long term, according to the report.

Joseph Wakshlag, DVM, PhD, has seen those problems appear in some dogs as poor coats, bad skin, or weak bones. Too little fat means a bad coat; but too much fat and not enough protein can cause mild anemia, says Wakshlag, an assistant professor of clinical nutrition at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.

Wakshlag -- who accepts some research funding from Nestle Purina PetCare -- says homemade raw diets also may lack enough calcium and phosphorous, causing bone fractures and dental problems. Depending on the quality of the diet, the calcium or phosphorus may also be difficult to properly digest, even if present in adequate amounts.

Studies of raw pet food also have shown bacterial contamination. The FDA issued suggestions in 2004 for manufacturing raw pet food more safely, citing concern about the possibility of health risks to owners from handling the meat. A 2006 study of 20 commercially available raw meat diets found that 7.1% contained a type of salmonella. E. coli bacteria was found in 59.6% of raw meat diets. These bacteria can also be shed in the feces, leading to a potential source of human exposure and infection.

The study also sampled four canned and dry dog foods. It found E. coli in all of the commercially processed, cooked foods during one of the four sampling periods, and in one brand of dry food during another sampling period.

Raw Dog Food Diet: Concerns Overblown?

Supporters of raw dog food diets are quick to point out that commercially processed pet foods can contain harmful bacteria, as can raw meat offered for human consumption.

“The whole concern about bad bacteria is overblown,” Knueven says. “When people are feeding a raw diet they know it’s not sterile, and they’re more careful about washing their hands. Feeding a raw meat diet is no different than cooking chicken for the family ... you have to clean up the counter and your knife.”

The FDA guidance document also suggested that manufacturers address typical nutrition problems in a raw-meat diet, including making sure it contained enough calcium and phosphorous, important for bone health. Raw-meat diets high in liver also may supply too much vitamin A, which can lead to vitamin A toxicity if fed for an extended period.

Even veterinarians like Knueven who support raw dog food diets say that they’re not appropriate for all dogs. Because the diets are typically high in protein, they aren’t appropriate for dogs with late-stage kidney or severe liver failure.

Page 7 of 7
He recommends that dogs with pancreatitis or other digestive issues start with a cooked, homemade diet and clear up problems before switching to raw. Dogs with cancer, on chemotherapy, or dogs with other immunosuppressive diseases also should not eat raw food. And puppies aren’t good candidates, either.

“The only place I’ve seen a problem with this diet is puppies,” Knueven says. “If you don’t get the calcium and phosphorous ratio right, you can have bone deformities and growth issues.”

I see that people generally have trust issues here please let's give the Op a chance he hasn't asked anyone to pay him upfront, he hasn't made any claims that makes he look unprofessional so why the assumptions.
If his price is low and that makes you uncomfortable then ask him why don't just shout SCAM like you just learnt it's meaning.

Op please if u are serious please upload the parents with the pups and let's see the pups separately and if you don't mind lets know why the price is so low

Op I guess u have made up ur mind to get the dogs but my first word of advise is start with a single dog preferably a GSD male don't go getting two dogs at same time baby steps.
Feeding dogs is only tricky when they are puppies and like someone responded a trusted friend or gateman can handle lunch in ur absence.
Cost of feeding varies based on how you decide to operate there are very cheap ways to feed and you can learn them right here on petland.
Vets won't cost you more than a few thousands in the first month for vaccines and check up after that you'll be going in only on need or for periodic checks.
For time if you can get home by 4 then you have the whole evening to enjoy the company of your dog, take them for walks play and train. It's had to go wrong with a dog. I hope this helps

You could also chat with celebpooches or visit the site www.celebpooches.com they have such info and can assist you with the vaccinations

Trying to upload a short clip

hi Esty
Are you saying the pups havent suckled since birth?
are her nipples enlarged?
When last did she litter? as you may have littered her again too soon

Way Forward
Change her diet to higher calorie high energy foods, dont over supplement with vitamins.
If you feel the Quality of her food is ok then consider increasing quantity to meet the extra needs.
Change sleeping/resting arrangement if she appears to be uncomfortable and restless.

[s]I dont really advise this except for professionals who know their dogs behaviour very well (try milking her and see if she has wounds that may make suckling painful) please be very sure she is ok with this before you try it[/s]

As a temporary mitigation get the pups some milk
