I add Evo- red meat to my dogs other kibble. I tried just the evo and although they do like it I just could not afford to feed it to three dogs, They have such high activity levels that they were eating almost twice the feeding guideline for a dog their size, and still loosing weight. So I...

I also used a lazer light with my dogs. We live in the country and the dogs don't wear thier nails down in the grass and fields. I use the lazer light on our very long paved driveway to wear their nail down as my one female hates to have her nails done. Recentlly my obedience instructor...

I have 3. 1 male and 2 females and it's a blast! The two girls had issues at first but they worked them out very quickly. (my 3rd was an adult not a pup when I got her) I'm no expert, but in my experience it has worked out very well with lots of play time together as well as lots of one-on-one...

LOL I too have been late for work because the dogs were extra super snuggly in the morning. and my hubby was sharing his popcicle with all 3 of the dogs the other night. A lick for him, one for each dog, then another lick for him! whoot whoot for spoiled dogs!!!

my vet was understanding about me feeding raw. But he suggested that I only gave my dogs human grade food. So I am leery about getting "leftovers" from places. I do get chicken backs, etc from the butcher but it is sold for soups etc. Cheap but still human grade.

Hi All, Its been almost a month now and I just wanted to let everyone know that I did what I thought was best for Misty, and Myself. I fell madly in love and she is now a permanent part of my family! She has such a sweet personality, loving, concerned, goofy, crazy, yet...

wow, I feel so at home on Boxerworld! I KNEW it WAS normal to share my bed and my pillow with the dogs. to snuggle on the sofa, with them, while hubby sits on the floor. To give "zerberts" on their tummy or that squishy funny part at the edge of their lips. Toys everywhere! Driving 40min to...

lazy baby.... If your baby is acting normal besides the laziness I would not worry about it. The heat last week did mellow out my three when they were outside. That could be a factor. Keep an eye out though for other changes that may indicate a problem. My babies are 1.5 and 2.5 years old...

Thanks to all. Thanks to all that replied to my post. You all put a smile on my face and assured me that I was doing her the right thing by taking her in, even if I am only a stepping stone. I am making no quick dicisions. I know that as long as she is here she is getting love and attention...

hi all, I am confused as to what i should do and thought I would ask others that know boxers and love the breed as much as I do. today is Wednesday, Sunday night I got an e-mail asking me if I wanted another dog to match the ones that i have. (I am the owner of a 2yr old and a 1yr old...

allergies my friend has allergies, she can't even go in my car as my dogs go in there on occasion. She has one long haired cat and two non shedding "slipper" dogs and has no problems with these but my boxers, forget it she blows up like a balloon, he throat itches etc. to be on the safe side...

yet another question.....food stealing?? I haven't looked at the frozen raw food but i do know they sell it at our local pet store. I have no intention of buying it anyhow. I figure that it i just as easy for me to make my own, Just like people burger patties. I will make them, freeze them...

Hi, I understand the raw diet. I am ready to switch, my hubby is not so cool with it but I always get what I want. I just have to make it easy for "his" meals. right now the dogs sleep from midnight till noon. Going out for a pee around 5:30am. they eat lunch around 1pm and dinner anywhere...

yeah...I can do this! This was the final factor for many long months of research! I knew I wanted to feed raw but had convinced myself that it would be way too messy. I had read crazy tips and tricks on a website as to how to keep tidy.(all which made me think that it was that much messier)...

Hi All, I have been coming to Boxerworld for quite some time. Up till now I always got a message saying that they were not accepting new members. I was so very excited tonight that I had the chance to join! In 1993 my Daughter was 1yr old and I wanted a dog. After a year or research and the...
