My poor boxer gets frequent yeast infections in his ears. The Vet had him on MalAcetic hear cleaner. When his ears are really bad this usually helps but it may take over 1 week of daily cleaning. The only problem is that my dog doesn't like this ear solution. He shakes his head every 10...

I have read on this forum that Costco has Salmon Grain Free dog food for $30. It is made by Diamond who also makes TOTW. So these products may be very similar or identical. I called my costco and they tried to look it up but couldn't find anything in their systems about it. So my...

My dog has a Chicken allergen. Does your dog have one also? Will your dog be able to eat a food that doesn't have chicken as a protein source but uses chicken fat?

My boxer doesn't do well off of chicken. I believe he is allergic to it. I have two questions: 1) Will chicken fat in a dog food typically cause allergic reactions to dogs allergic to chicken (seems like a dumb question)? 2) Chicken is a typical allergen in dogs (this is a fact). Why do...

Thats the problem. None of the vets I've gone to can tell us why our boxer is itchy and has ear problems. He has a great diet so it isn't that. I hope he doesn't have a thyroid problem but it sounds like he may. I am surprised no vet has recommended a test yet. Have you guys ever gone...

I live in the Kennesaw/Woodstock area and the current Vet I go to seems a bit expensive. Plus my dog always has chronic ear problems and they give him oitment. Problem is that the ointment doesn't last too long. When his ear problems return they always want to see him even though he has had...

I will get a full panel thyroid test. How much does that ususally run? Also if he has a thryoid problem (hopefully not), how much does medication usually run?

My 6 yr old boxer has a history of allergies, yeast infected ears, and occasional staph infections (probably from him itching from allergies). I noticed that his ears have been getting itchy and dirty so I am cleaning them more frequently with ear cleaner that helps with yeast (forget the...

My boxer has about a dozen dry dark/black bumps on his back. About the size of a dime at most. He has had them for about 1 week. He has allergies and get frequent yeast infections in his ears. They don't seem to bother him and he doesn't have visible bald spots even after I brushed him but...

I just picked up some dog food at the local boutique and they had elk antlers for sale. It stated that they don't splinter, help clean teeth, and had minerals. Anyone have info or experience with this??

I was thinking of tryin Natural Balance because my dog has skin problems. Do you feel that the protein level is adequate in this food?

I had my dog on a higher protein food Acana pacifica. I believe the protein was maybe 33%. It is not as high some but I guess a mid level protein formula. I don't know if it was the increase in protein, or just the food but my dog had an increase in ear problems. I dont know if i am sold on...

I have a 5 yr old boxer that scratches alot and had irritated skin with hair loss. Since switching over to higher quality foods 3 yrs ago (such as old Canidae forumula) he has gotten much better. Now it seems that the pet store is always pushing me towards high protein grain free food...

Yeah I have a bad taste too that is why I can't pull the trigger on it yet. It is $50 for a 30lb bag compared to Wellness Core Ocean at $58 for a 26lb bag (I know not a huge difference but every bit counts). I am looking for something that has at least 30% protein, grain free, low in price(out...

I used to feed my boxer the Lamb Canidae and he did very well off it. Better than he did off TOTW. Since they changed their formula I took him off it just to be safe. Now that they have come out with the grain free products I was thinking about putting him back on. Anyone have experience...
