If it were me, I would call up the old vet, explain the situation, tell him where I've moved and ask for a recommendation. Maybe print up a list of vets in your area and ask if he knows any of them. They network and gossip like regular doctors, I would think. I did the same thing with my...

cami, It's so funny you said that. Maddie loves peanut butter!! I was considering it yesterday when the treats didn't work. I was just thinking about carrying a spoon with some on it (and look like an idiot doing it, I'm sure but who cares?). I like your idea of the whole jar better. I will...

Thanks Lisa, I hope so. We had a fairly good walk this morning. I let her know it was okay to jump the curb next to the gutter and walk in the grass behind and around it. I brought treats with me and gave her one each time she did it. And when she started to freeze up or distract herself...

Maddie just had her first birthday. We've had her since she was 6 weeks old. She is a great, smart, loving dog. I had some trouble with her pulling on the leash when we first started trying to go for walks. She does fine anywhere and everywhere until we walk up to a storm drain (gutter) on...

So sorry about your baby. Praying for you and your family.

Welcome Hope you enjoy the Boxer Board! It's a lot of fun and very informative. We've had Maddie for 10 months and she still has horrible farts. Hope yours gets better. Anna

We feed her Wellness Puppy food and treats. She doesn't reek or anything. Just smells like dog. Like I tell my kids, "If you don't smell like soap, you need a bath." I will certainly try to do it less often and use wipes and sprays inbetween. I'd rather she not have ticks than smell great all...

I guess we just really like it when she smells clean, so when she smells too much like "dog" we wash her. I could probably wash her less often and find a good in between bath spray. I did also find on another thread about bathing that Earthbath has soap-free products will leave topical flea...

Our 5 month old Maddie was treated with K9 Advantix on May 22 for the first time. We went to a state park last weekend, and she had a tick on her which we removed. She got another yesterday and one today. We live in a wooded area. I called the vet and they said I'm bathing her too often (about...

Karen, Just boohooed for about the last half hour reading about this horrible thing that was done to your precious baby. There aren't any words to say how sorry I am, and I also offer thoughts and prayers to help you and Sequoia get through your tough time. Anna

We have a 7 week old boxer puppy named Maddie who I plan to post a picture of as soon as I figure out how. I appreciate having somewhere to find help and advice from other boxer moms and dads. I'm all about researching everything and asking questions, so this will help a lot. Look forward...
