I just had to tell all of you that our boxers, Lexi and Minnie got along great at the beach!! They had a blast...at least their face expressions and nubs told us that. :D First of all, it took us about 16 hours to get there instead of 12 hours. And they did great in the back seat. They...

Thanks so much for your suggestions. We've only taken them for about a 2 hours drive so this is going to be interesting. Although, they like to ride w/ us. So, it will probably be fine. I'm anxious to see if they like the water, waves, sand, etc. Looking forward to it.!!

We are taking out boxers with us to the beach in a few days. We're going to the Outer Banks. I"m concerned about the heat and the sand being too hot for their feets. But I figured we'd take them out in the mornings for a long walk before it gets too hot. And we're also take water for them...

Dog Food Well, we ended up putting both of our boxers on Wellness and they both love it and are doing great!! Lexi acts like she has more energy than she has had in ages. Yeh, it costs a little more than Iams, but we are just so glad that Lexi is acting better that we don't care. I am...

Kong We have a kong too, but never know how much to fill it. One time, food got stuck in there and spoiled. It was not a pretty site. So, since then, I just put a" little" PB and kibbles in there. HOw much are you suppose to fill the cavity? I'll have to check the Kong site to look for...

Finding old posts Thanks so much! Now I know how to find old posts.appicon

Is there a way to find my old postings? I can't seem to find how to do this on this site. Someone posted a site awhile back where dog food is analyzed. And I can't find it now. Will someone post a link to that site? I need to decide on a new dog food for my boxers. Thanks!

Episodes? May I ask what kind of episodes that Indy's having? We think our Ruby had Cardiomyopithy, but not sure.

Well, I think we figured out what happened and why she chewed the curtains. A couple/few days later, she had an episode where she started licking and swallowing and grabbing everything in site to eat..and chew. Come to find out she had reflux..and the vet said that dogs will eat anything to...

Update: I am happy to announce that as of 4 days ago, when we changed dog foods, Lexi seems to be back to ole self!!appicon I just hopes this continues for weeks to come. Meanwhile, we are searching for a new food, so she can get off of the perscription diet..Royal Cannin Rabbit and Poptato...

Thank you so much for this info and website. I tried to search it the other night, but the site was down. But I looked at it today and I was amazed at the stuff....bad stuff that is in dog food. I noticed that beets are added to Iam's food...which is a controversary food for dogs, plus it...

Update: Lexi had a another bad night last night. She was on the couch and all at once started to drool, lick and swallow obsessively...hard swallows. After she did that for awhile. She finally stopped...and fell asleep. But..my husband and I thought that maybe it's her food that's making...

New food We're trying to figure out what is wrong w/ our boxer...so we're trying new food. Our vet called us today to touch base and I told her our plan about trying new food. She thought that was a good idea. Although, she really wants us to try some perscription food first. So...we're...

We are planning to change dog food because we think the Iam's food is making our dog sick. How do we find and pick a new dog food? Suggestions welcome! Thanks!! Moderator note: thread moved from the Boxer Ring forum to the Feeding forum. Please read well the rules.

I"m not sure where to begin with this. But here is goes. We lost our 6 year old boxer, Ruby, on Feb. 14th. She had this thing where she would lick and swallow excessively...eat anything on the floor...then would finally throw up. We never figured out WHAT was causing this....or what...
