    strange rash on chest/belly

    Our 3 yr old girl, Piper, is sick for about a week. She has a rash all over belly and chest, and not much of an appetite. She also has very runny stool. She HAS NOT been scratching. No change in her diet, though she did have a large cooked beef bone about a week ago. Her food is Innova...

    yeast infection

    itch relief Our female boxer, Piper, was itchy for a long time. Since we changed her food to the EVO all red meat kibble she is very content. She loves the food, and has no more scratching issues. We tried a variety of foods before that. Best wishes for Juicy. Larry, Lucille and Piper

    Biting leash and shaking head furiously while walking

    Hi! My 15mos old female boxer, Piper, is not a great walker. She normally fights with me for the first 2-3 mins out, by grabbing the leash in her teeth and shaking her head back and forth furiously. Once I finally get her calmed down she pulls on the leash like crazy. Both behaviours are...
