he hasn't been tested for any parasites but he is on hearworm preventative and since he does have a few firm stools here and there i don't think he has a problem with them. wait, come to think of it though, he did get tested at christmas time because i had to board him at the vet...and he was...

also, his eyes always have that runny white mess coming from them all the time...i can't remember when exactly that started...could that have anything to do with his food???

is there a different type of solid gold that would be better suited for him? and yes, that is what the HF stands for...i didn't want to butcher the spelling. ;) if i were going to stick with what i have then what other protein source would you suggest adding (besides the sardines). i'm just...

My boxer is 8mnths and is on Solid Gold HF Adult...my question is when should I start seeing better results than what I am seeing. We did the whole mixing thing with his other food for about a week or so and he has been on SG by itself for a month (I believe). He just seems so...

Should they need their anal glands expressed regularly? I thought I read something somewhere that said in most cases they didn't but some dogs might have a recurring problem with it. I've seen Luke do the same thing...I think he is doing it more to his nub though. :)

Has the vet suggested that there might be something wrong with his tummy (medically)? Luke (7mnths) stays in his crate all day and during the night...he has never not once peed or pooped in his crate. I had a boxer when I was growing up and he had a very sensative stomach. It didn't matter...

I had a female and a male together at one time and my female was the same way. She was a lot more difficult to train than my male. He NEVER had accidents in his crate. She would pee and poop in there and then of course walk all through it. She would squat and pee right in front of us and the...

I agree with all of the above. Luke likes to play tug of war...we have a toy that consists of three rubber rings looped together. It works out good because we are able to hold the part that isn't that close to his mouth. We haven't had a problem with it. He knows when it is playtime and when...

I don't know about anyone else but it has been my experience that the males always seem to be more so like this than the females. My Luke (7mnths) cannot sit down for one second...I swear! He doesn't get near as much exercise as what he should and I feel like that is most of his problem...but...

Well I decided to go with just an all over hard plastic crate...I don't have to put anything in there because the bottom is solid...there isn't anything that sticks out on the inside for him to chew on...so far so good, of course this is just day 3. :) I don't know what makes him want to eat...

I wasn't sure where to post this...so hopefully this wouldn't be the wrong area. I am so fed up with trying to find something to put in the bottom of Luke's (8mnths) crate...we have to put something in there because what he would be laying on is the cage. We just recently put a THICK heavy...

This has been some good advice...I'm going to have to try it on my 7month old. He has no problem bringing things back and wants you to take them...just doesn't want to actually let go. :)

Has anyone else ever tried this...just wanted to get someone else's take on it.

My name is Jina and I am the proud owner of 1 Male Brindle Boxer (7months) named Luke. I find myself having questions all of the time and figured this would be the best way to possibly get those questions answered and share any knowledge that I may already have. I love this breed and would own...
