You said your pup is only 7 months old? I would put him back on the Wellness puppy food. Most Vets recommend that puppies stay on puppy food for their entire first year. Maybe in another 5 months you could try the Wellness core again. If you are really stuck on switching the food at this...

In the same boat My 8 month old boxer started having the same issues as soon as the snow melted away. We live in Mass. Hives all over his head/ neck and down to his armpits. Our vet told us it was common in boxers to be allergic to pollen. He was given a cortisone shot. This made everything go...

They are still reviewing his blood work and stools. What came back so far is that his white blood cells were through the roof. Also his temp was at an extreme high at 105 (normals like 101.5 I think). I'm still trying to grasp and better understand everything as its been like a whirlwind. He got...

It's been a rough couple of days for Horatio and I. I was wondering if any of you have gone through similar problems with your boxers. The last two days~ Thursday morning, Horatio was his normal playful self (he is a 5 month old fawn boy). He ate breakfast, we went on a walk, etc, etc. Then...

Horatio is 10 weeks old, and I am just wondering when I should enroll him in classes. Are puppy classes a good idea or should I wait until he's a little older and just do obedience classes? We live in the Boston, so as far as socializing, I can't take him outside without running into dozens of...

Horatio is ten weeks old and is the "perfect" puppy (I may be biased). My question comes to when we are playing with him as he is full of energy. He loves to jump around and down into the praying position, meanwhile playfully barking and sometimes biting. He knows this is only play and will stop...

I've heard of the mushers wax. Any idea if Petco or Unleashed would sell it?

Thank you!! I will skip the booties. I do live in the city so we will see how the puppy likes the snow covered sidewalks. Do you think taking him out for walks would be too cold? I know it will be winter. But since he's young and has tons of energy I just wanted to get him used to being outside.

I am getting a 9 week old boy this weekend. I live in Massachusetts and the past few weeks it has been cold (lows of 15 degrees F), and of course it will only continue to get colder. I was wondering what I should put on him when I take him outside? I bought him a coat already, but I was...

I am trying to pick what to feed my new puppy. He is 8weeks, and has been being fed Taste of the Wild. I however would like to switch to different food because my local dog supply store doesn't sell TOTW. The owner of the store recommended that I feed him either Wellness, Merrick or Halo. I...

Hello everyone!! I am very excited to join this community. I am to be a new mother to a fawn boxer baby boy as of next weekend. I am going to name him Horatio. Horatio is 7 weeks old, born in Maine, USA and I will be bringing him down to Boston, Mass, USA. He will be a handful in the first few...
