Don't be surprised if she starts getting really nervous when you are packing things and moving. When we moved back in May, our 2 were so upset that they were having diarrhea and just wouldn't eat or anything. So be prepared to do lots of extra kisses and cuddling with her to reassure her that...

Two are so much better!!!! But I agree, that you should get the other one now so that you can train them both the same, and break any bad habits before they get too much older. We love our two, but getting the one as a puppy and the other one as a rescue at 8 months has been very trying...

Does anyone know if aloe vera gel is ok to use on our boxers?

Our poor little guy!!! For 8 months now, we have been unsuccessfully trying to figure out why Champ has been losing so much hair. Back in January and again in March we had skin scrapes done, both with negative results. That was at the vet where we used to live. They had told us that it was...

We have had similar problems with our baby Champ. He has several balding spots now and we have had 3 separate mange tests and all have come back negative. Our vet said that she thinks it's allergy-related but doesn't really suggest the allergy shots as they can be bad for the liver and heart...

Also something you might want to think about is that the K9 Advantix is poisonous to cats, so if you have any cats in your house you should prolly just stick with the Frontline, because it is safe for both. I know this because we poisoned our cat accidentally with the advantix after we had put...

Champ did this when he was a puppy; he didn't end up having any UTI or anything, just a small bladder. I would get that ruled out and then I wouldn't worry about it; your pup will prolly grow out of it. It can be kind of a pain while going through it, but it gets better!!! Prolly no one is...

Our pup, Champ, had to go to the vet on Monday because he had torn up his toenail. They put him under, took off the upper part of the toenail, bandaged him up and sent him home with us. We were allowed to take the bandage off on Wednesday night (although his brother Buddy tried to take it off...

We are at our wit's end with the vets here in the U.P. of Michigan. We have had Champ back and forth for the same 2-3 problems several times since he was 5 months old. He gets a rash on his lower stomach, little pimples, some with whiteheads, all over his belly. He never bothers it...

That's funny----our Champ loves hot dogs too!!! We get the jumbo turkey dogs in the big pack because between Champ and our boxer/lab mix Buddy they get eaten so fast!!!

dieselhound, can you be a bit more specific? our vet just put champ on a venison and potato diet for 2 months to try to rule out food allergies for his paw scratching/chewing. It's only been a week, but of course he is loving his food!!! He is still chewing somewhat, so we will see if it goes...

So upset!!!! Update from yesterday.....I called at 8:00 am this morning and every puppy was adopted yesterday!!! I am so bummed. I really want a buddy for Champ so I will keep looking but that wouldve been great. I did leave my phone number with the lady at the humane society in case any of...

My husband and I are going to the Humane Society tomarrow to start the adoption process for a boxer mix. They have 5 puppies, all 8 weeks old!!! Around this town, puppies will go very quickly from the Humane Society so I hope we will be lucky enough to get a little brother or sister for...

I don't know a ton about this subject but i do know that boxers DO shed, haha. Champ sheds a lot more than i thought he would; but i had never had boxers before either. We have this rubbery glove brush that he doesn't mind and we use it when we give him baths and we'll wet it and brush him...

We've had a similar problem with Champ. After 2 bouts with Dmange, the vet said that she is sure it's allergy-related and we are putting him on a hypoallergenic diet for 2 months to see if it is food-related before we do any other allergy testing. She suggested this because she said the...
