: The University of Ibadan’s Animal Care, Use and Research Ethics Committee approved the ethics of animal management (UI-ACUREC 17-0027) after the thorough assessment of the impact of study on dog wellbeing. The sequential details of events from when animals were obtained till when study was completed was weighed. Such details included excellent animal monitoring, feeding, housing, handling, and harmless experimental procedures. All other protocols ensured the least suffering on dogs while study lasted. The fate of animals after study (treatment) was also addressed as well as the scientific merit, significance of research, necessity and justification for animal use. Once it was proven that science would advance pet welfare as well as pet owner satisfaction, ethics of study was approved.
