WATCH: Tbo Touch nourishes the skin of his Rottweilers by feeding them salmon

The dogs whose names are, Chapo and Pablo turn a year-old this week and Touch says he plans to throw them a lavish birthday party.


Media personality Tbo Touch once again displayed a glimpse of the soft-life he lives when he shared a video of himself feeding his dogs salmon heads which drew some attention from his followers.

“Anybody who’s got Rottweilers, this is very very good for dogs okay. Raw fish, raw salmon head. You can get this [at] any of these fish markets, they normally throw this away, if you know the owners develop a relationship and tell them to sell it to you,” said Tbo Touch.

The video drew much reaction from the Tbo Touch’s more than 800,000 followers on Instagram.

“These dogs be eating better than us rappers,” commented Cassper Nyovest.

In his response the Metro FM DJ told Cassper that the dogs will have a birthday party in a week’s time. “They’re turning one next Saturday. Wait till you see how they party and who’s on the guest list,” said Tbo Touch, whose real name is Thabo Molefe.

“This is what I feed my dogs too,” averred Pearl Thusi in support of Tbo Touch. Singer Lady Du remarked that she too has the same kind of dog breed.  “I have the same dog. I love it sooooo much man. Mine is still a puppy though,” she said.

Some of Tbo Touch’s followers criticised him for feeding the dogs with fish, saying dogs aren’t supposed to consume the seafood.

“Raw fish can carry parasites harmful to your dog’s health. Plus where is the nearest ocean where you are? Mine is two minutes and I will never feed fish to my dog,” remarked Ouma Mogale-Mpela.

“Nice life, two minutes next to the ocean, unfortunately I get fish delivered from a Mozambican coast 48 hours later,” responded the media personality.

The dogs whose names are, Chapo and Pablo, regularly get fed some of the best meat.
