Thanks for writing. I don't think it is bothering him. I guess maybe he broke it off chewing on a bone. I really don't brush his teeth, but he does get those dental bones. The rest of his teeth look okay accept that tiny teeth inthe front are sooooo small. Could you ask your friend, if...

Rocky is almost 2 years old and yesterday I noticed that he lost one of his lower teeth. He has about 4 very small lower teeth. Are these still baby teeth? Should I be concerned? I would think that he has already lost his baby teeth at age 2. Please someone, let me know that this is okay.

Rocky does that all the time when we leave the playground from playing with another dog. I never thought of that he didn't want to leave. That is probably the answer. Spoiled boxer.

Healing thoughts coming your way. Rocky cut is pad on glass. It took a while before it healed, but is just fine now. Just keep it clean and watch it.

Hi. My name is Robin we have a 16 month old male Fawn Boxer who we love very much. Never had a boxer before, and I don't think I would ever get another kind of dog. So loveable. We live in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. I am happily married with two teenage boys. This site is so helpful. Thanks...

Cigarette Butts Since Rocky was a puppy and even now 16 months old, he picks up everything in the street, including cigarette butts. He gobbles them up so fast I can't get it out of his mouth in time. How disgusting.

Cows Ears/Elephant Ears Just checking if cows ears or elephant ears are the same as rawhide, and if they are okay to give ocassionally.

We are having a problem with Rocky, 7 months old, going in the yard eating the grass and then of course throwing it up. Any advice. Robin

Thanks Tom. Rocky is fawn, but his feet are white, and yes I notice it when we come back from walking in wet grass. Also, around the white of his face. So hopefully, it is just that he show more when it is wet. Although, I will look closer after a bath. Robin

I know this might sound crazy, but I just have to ask. When Rocky's feet get wet I notice that his skin is real red. Sometimes he gets red around his nose and under on his belly. Can this be allergies, not itching too bad, once in a while.

Kidney Beaning What is kidney beaning?

What is coccidia? Would he still be acting fine, playing, eating drinking, etc. He is very active. I have also tried the canned pumpkin, and it has really helped. He is now on Science Diet Puppy Food, and so far has been doing pretty good. The vet did decide to de-worm him again, so today I...
