After a year of trying every kind of "good" kibble out there, we are trying the raw food diet. I went to the pet store and they gave me patties, that are lamb meat (she has never done well with poultry) and have the bone ground in.. I mashed up one of those, added a cup of steel cut oats that I...

This happened to us too.. We were on the deck and saw her snapping at something and before we could stop her, she got stung by a bee... Had a SERIOUS allergic reaction! Glad your pups OK!!

We have been to the vet and all of the tests came back negative. We are going to go again just to be sure. The food we have her on now is a newer one that we have tried since the diarrhea began.. She was on Innova before and loved it, but we had heard sometimes they can develop an allergy so we...

I know this is a very common topic! But I am hoping maybe someone else has had this same thing and might be able to shed some light.. Our pup has just turned 1 yr.. She never had issues before, always very normal stool. All of the sudden, is very runny. There is no blood and it's not frequent...

Our puppy had it too and our vet said it usually goes away AFTER they get fixed... They didn't say anything about waiting until the first heat. I think there are more risks in letting her go into heat, than there are in getting her fixed before the first heat. Our vet strongly suggested that we...

Our 8 month old female has had this problem since we got her from the breeder... She had vaginitis and a UTI and has been on Clavamox for a while now. We call it her puppy squeege:) It's gross and we do dap it off before she comes back into the house. They say it is supposed to get better after...

We have been giving Lucy Nutro Ultra Puppy, and it's been great. We recently were introduced to a brand called Blue Buffalo and we are in the process of switching her to that. All human grade ingredients, etc... Both brands you can find at PetsMart..

Lucy had the same issue for about a week after we brought her home. Like you said, it was like water...NOT FUN. We gave her rice with some fat free chicken broth in it, with some cottage cheese just to settle her stomach, then started adding the food back in and she was better within 2 days. We...

Still doing this? We would love to meet up with some other boxer buddies if anyone is interested. We live in Seattle, but go to Marymoor often.. Lucy is only 14 weeks, but we have been working on the socialization. She seems a little timid at first, but then loves to play !

Same thing.. Lucy is 14 weeks old and we are in our second round of Clavamox. She was urinating frequently when we brought her home at 8 weeks, would squat to pee and nothing would come out, and we found red blood cells in her urine. Tomorrow she finishes her second dose (this one was a 14 day...

Going through the EXACT same thing.. Our little girl Lucy is 14 weeks old today and she has had the same issues you mentioned since the day we brought her home. Peeing ALL the time, little bits of blood cells in her pee. She was also on Clavamox for a week when we first got her at 8 weeks old...

Well, I did some research a while back when our first boxer got fixed. They gave her a tranquilizer for the same reasons, to keep her calm etc.. The website I read was from a holistic vet down in LA who said that tranquilizers can cause heart attacks and strokes in boxers specifically. So...

Us too:) We also learned the "off" command, and while that worked for us, it didn't work when we had company that didn't know the off command. We found that the best thing to do is ignore her...When we get home, as much as we want to hug her and get excited, we simply ignore her until she...

Same story here... We have a 11 month old female who has completed, successfully, puppy kindergarten, basic training, and intermediate training. She passed the class with flying colors, completing a whole string of commands and tricks off leash with other dogs around. Even with all of that...

It makes me feel better to see others let their dogs sleep with them...We tried to have her sleep in her bed on the floor when she was about 4 months old (she had slept with us before then). She's 10 months old now, and sometimes she gets off the bed and sleeps on her chair on her own. She's...
