My quess is that would be a bad thing? I am reading this on breeders web pages. I know what arvc is but unsure what the positive hesterozygous means.

I got a bag of Super 5 and it looks like according to the feeding chart I feed alot less of the adult vs the puppy. With the puppy I was feeding close to 3 1/2 cups a day. The Super 5 looks like maybe 1 1/2 cups a day. Does this sound correct?

I'll probably just buy a small 5 lb bag of puppy to mix with the adult. I don't think I have enough left to do the switch.

My Otto is just shy of 5 months old and his Wellness puppy food is about out. Is it to early to switch to Wellness adult or stick with the puppy for a couple more months?

I do not know if any are sulfa based or not but we are finishing up with the meds and the rash all over his body seems to be clearing up nicely. Hopefully we can get him straightened out, what a mess! Another thought I had for the reaction is we got a can of some purina wet special vet food to...

My 4 month old puppy has just been treated for giardia and coccidia. Now, 4 days after starting the meds I have noticed small red bumps all over his body. He is currently taking Metronidazole, Albon and Panacur Susp. Any thoughts on whether or not this is causing his rash? Thanks!

Should I do anything for flea and tick control on a 9 week old boxer? I did buy some spot treatment but after reading the directions it says to not put on if under 6 months. We do live a couple of blocks from the woods and will vist them when Otto gets a little older. Just wondering if I need...

I just brougt home my new boy Otto on Saturday. He is a couple of days under 8 weeks. I had luck putting Otto in his kennel and sitting down by it so he knew I was there. A couple of minutes later he was sleeping. At night I have the kennel next to me in bed. When he starts crying I just...

We were just to see our new Boxer at 6 weeks of age. The one we decided on has a hernia on it belly. Breeder said it was her fix and would take care of it. I do trust that this is a very reputable breeder. I am wondering if there is any reason not to go for the pup with the hernia?

I have found two which I feel are very reputable breeders. They both had liters recently (the boxer not the breeder :))and the pups are a couple of weeks old. They will both be watching a couple of pups for show dogs. At what point should I pick out a pup and put a deposit down? They say...

I am doing research as to what to feed a new puppy. When people mention Canidae (before the formula switch) does this mean it was good then they changed the formula and now its not so good?

I guess this is where I intoduce myself. I am 31 yrs old married to my lovely wife with two boys and one on the way due 5/23. We just recently had to put down our 8 yr old F Beagle due to a slipped disk in her neck. Therfore the reason for joining this forum is our next dog will be a Boxer...
