Africa’s fastest man, Ferdinand Omanyala, has opened up about the cost of caring for his pet dogs, revealing that he spends at least KSh50,000 every month to ensure they remain healthy, well-fed, and properly groomed.

Speaking during an interview on Obinna Show Live on Monday night, March 9, 2026, the sprint star said keeping dogs requires serious commitment and financial investment.

“By the way dogs are expensive. Zinapigwa hadi marashi, lazima dogi ikae smart,” he said, explaining that grooming forms a key part of their care routine.

Omanyala noted that the dogs are regularly monitored by a veterinarian to ensure they remain in good health.

“Kuna doctor anaiangalia twice a month. Ukitoa dogi ikae fiti na ikue na life poa lazima uipee hizi attention zote,” he explained.

The athlete disclosed that feeding alone costs him about KSh10,000 every week, as he owns two German Shepherd dogs.

“Chakula inspend KSh10K a week. Ni two German Shepherds, zinadishi once a day lakini morning lazima zikue na snacks zao,” he said.

He added that routine medical check-ups are necessary even when the dogs are not sick.

“Dogi lazima ipelekwe hosi iangaliwe, hata si ati ni mgonjwa, ni macheckups hivi hivi,” Omanyala noted.

The sprinter also shared details about the dogs’ daily routine, saying they are usually allowed out of their cages for a few hours before being returned.

“Hizo dogi hutoka kwa cage three hours alafu zinarudi,” he said.

Omanyala’s remarks shed light on the level of dedication required to maintain large dog breeds, particularly German Shepherds, which are known to require consistent training, grooming, and veterinary care.
