    Panting, whining, etc.

    Rocky is 9 years old and has recently (about a week) been whining and panting, acting generally nervous, but only in the house. He's always been a bit anxious about things but he's always been a great sleeper and the last week or so he's awake at night panting, whining and just generally...

    What does your boxer do that's a little strange :)

    Rocky refuses to walk on wood floors. He'll walk on tile or carpet but not wood. If he accidently gets on the floor (excited to see someone),, as soon as he realizes it, he stands there and shakes. Then, he'll begin to walk backwards off the floor. Cracks my mother up..she is over 80, had...

    What kind of chew toys should I get for my puppy?

    I just came home with a dental Kong. It has grooves and a hole in the center. I just pushed a few pieces of kibble into the grooves and gave it to Rock. He's still chewing on it even though the kibble is gone. I can't wait to get more creative with it. I can see that it is going to be a...

    Hello from Florida

    I'm trying to post pictures...need to get my computer "expert" to help me! And so true about the seat...luckily we have a really big sofa. Rock always has his treats in my spot or his dad's..never his own.

    is my boxer to skinny??

    My Rocky, who has the opposite problem (loves to eat and gains easily), loves peanut butter in a kong bone....I know that is healthy but also fattening!

    We're new!!

    I first came to this site when Rock was a new puppy and I have gotten the best advice here. The first and undoubtably the best advice I got was about choosing a premium dog food. There a tons of threads about that and if you haven't decided on a food, or if you are unsure about the quality...

    What is the best way to lose weight?

    Rocky went to the vet for a check yesterday and she recommends losing some weight. He eats Innova Dog, 1 1/4 cups dry plus 1/3 of a can, twice daily..he does get a Greenie and a peanut butter bone each evening (which he loves). We also mix cottage cheese, plain yogurt, or maybe egg with his...

    How much to feed??

    Thank-you...we'll do that. Do you just ask your butcher for knuckle bones? By the way, we weighed him today and he is 77 lbs....

    How much to feed??

    Rocky is a male boxer...he gets a 45 minute run everyday and another walk in the evening. We feed him Innova dry mixed with Innova canned and he gets a peanut butter bone in the evenings. He looked like he was getting a bit heavy, so we checked and we were feeding him too much. Four...

    loose stools

    This is my first post but I read this board all the time and have gotten wonderful information. Rocky ate a rotten fish on the beach. We couldn't get it from him...that was last Thursday. He was fine until Friday night when he had diarrhea all night. By Saturday morning that was better but...
