    Should I get another boxer????

    It is an wonderful idea but the closet one is 30 miles away. We used to tale her to my in-laws one or twice a week but their 3yr old lab had a seizure. I think it was from them playing too hard in the heat. You all know how boxers play, they don't stop. Well thanks for the suggestion but I...

    Should I get another boxer????

    The whole doggy day care is a great idea except for the closet one being an hour away from where I live. We were taking her over to my in-laws house a couple days a week but we had to stop that because they're 3 year old lab had a seizure while they were playing hard one day. I think it was...

    Should I get another boxer????

    Yea I was afraid of that. I kinda knew that I was going to have to give them both attention but I was more concerned with her now not getting to play as much and if she had a friend or bro. I'd give them attention but wouldn't have to give the exercise attention if you know what I mean. she...

    Should I get another boxer????

    Me and my wife have a 2 year old female we love tremendously. Well we just added another addition to the family about 9 months ago. A baby! Well since then we haven't been able to give our boxer girl the attention that we used to and that she needs. It all goes towards baby Aubrie. I was...

    Concidering a Boxer

    I have a 16 month old female boxer who is 55lbs. I've had problems picking the right kibble in the past and finally after about a year have found it. I've used wellness which in my opinion is not good for boxers. Too much fiber. She had horrible stools and gas that would run you out of the...

    I'm worried about my boxer!

    No Heartworms!!!!! The heartworm test came back negative. We're so relieved. Thank you guys for your help and support. I went ahead and had the vet do a complete CBC and physical. He said that she was running fever and had a little bacterial infection. He said it wasn't kennel cough but...

    I'm worried about my boxer!

    I'm taking her into the vet tomorrow. I didn't know this but my father and I were talking and we were talking about the dogs and he was telling me that Jake(his 100lb) lab would pull Hurley around the yard by her collar like a rag doll. And he had to go find her collar twice cause he pulled it...

    I'm worried about my boxer!

    No she hasn't been anywhere but to my inlaws house. My father in law hasn't mentioned anything about his lab coughing or being sick, and he would mention it cause we've mentioned it to him Hurley has been having problems. I'm really scared. Could it be heartworms or would there be other...

    Kennel Cough / Canine Influenza

    So is that what this is?? Kennel cough? My female is hacking too. She only does it every so often. I'd say 2 or 3 instances a day. Is this something I need to be worried about? I thought maybe it was allergies. Could I give her benedryl to help a little? I'm not familiar with kennel...

    I'm worried about my boxer!

    Hello. I have a 1.5 year old female who I think is fairly healthy. Well she's been making these hocking noises like she's choking and I don't know what to do or what it is. I mean she'll do it out of a dead sleep. What could it be? It's strange. She just started it about 3 weeks ago...

    I think my dog is defective

    I beg to differ. I was expecting to comment on a post about someone saying their boxer was lazy like mine, lol. No but my girl is really calm and always have been. I would think there were something wrong with her, but she's always been so calm as a puppy too. Don't get me wrong she has her...

    Method of taking a puppy outside??

    Potty training is always the most stressful part of having a puppy in my opinion. Though boxers are really easy to train. My girl has only pooped in the house one time and that was because something didn't agree with her not because she didn't know any better. I'll list a few things we did and...

    Is Before Grain a good food?

    Yeah I've done a little reading up on it since I bought it and it gets good reviews. It is a 5 star food on dogfoodanalysis. The only downfalls are it's only a 25 pound bag, but when you pick it up it seems a lot heavier than that. It's a heavy 25 pounder. The kibble size scares me too. I...

    Leaving dog out of crate when @ work

    I have a few of questions. I have a 1.5 year old female who is a inside dog. She sleeps out of her crate at night but we keep her in her crate while we're @ work. How do you get the nerve to leave them out during the day? Or do you keep crating them forever? I'm not really afraid of her...
