How to Keep Your Boxer - or any Dog - Healthy...
Feed him a balanced diet. - Give an occasional yogurt treat- Ask your vet about giving Boxers calcium tablets as they could have some problems later on in life!- Keep him comfortable so his immune system can remain strong. - Boxers are shorthaired and sensitive to extreme elements of the weather and thus must be kept a housedog. His shortened muzzle also makes hot and humid weather uncomfortable for him.- Give Boxers lots of exercise and regularly. - Remember that he is a big and strong breed and requires physical outlets for his boundless energy and high play/prey drive.
- Walk them three times a day or have play sessions. Provide plenty of space for them to bounce around. You want to keep their spirit up and not break it or they won?t be the dogs you fall in love with in the first place. Healthy and happy Boxers are a joy to live with.- Make a breeder your friend. - Keep in touch with the breeder who sold you the Boxer.
The breeder can advise you about care and health matters that are unique to the breed. Any Boxer breeder, for that matter, can be an invaluable ally to you throughout your Boxer's life.- Guard your Boxer from fleas. - Your Boxer has fleas if you find black specks in the fur or fleabite marks on the skin. A tip given by an owner is to give your Boxer garlic daily to prevent fleas. - Boxers catch fleas from other animals.
It is an every day problem that, at some time or another, you can expect to encounter in your Boxer. - The fleas only go to the Boxer to feed on its blood.- Fleas mostly live and multiply in your home. The comfortable living - central heating, double-glazing and, best of all, the fitted carpet - we create for ourselves and our Boxers also work best for the fleas.- De-worm your puppy every month and your adult Boxer, every six months. -Worms Worms is another everyday problem in Boxers but the puppy is more likely to get sick from worms than the grown up Boxer. The sick one would lose weight and become weak, suffer from upset stomach, poor growth, listlessness or even lung trouble.
They may impede your puppy?s growth and cause him to have a potbelly or be thin and have a shoddy-looking coat. Your grown Boxer may not be showing any sign of worms but he could spread them more than the sick puppy, through large amount of larvae or eggs passed out in the feces.If your Boxer has tapeworms, he has fleas too because part of the tapeworm life cycle occurs in flea as the host. As such, treatments against flea and tapeworm are normally prescribed together.Some, like the roundworm, that infect dogs can also get passed on to children.In more serious cases, your dog will catch cough, pneumonia and develop lung problems. There are different types of worms that infect dogs such as tapeworm, roundworm, ringworm and heartworm. De-worm your Boxer puppy every month and your grown Boxer, every 6 months.
Puppies get sick from worms, more so than dogs. But your infected grown Boxers help spread the worms more through their droppings that would contain large number of larvae and/or eggs.Released into the surrounding, these larvae and eggs could infect other animals and even children. The tapeworms have a flat, segmented body. You see them as single segments or chains that resemble segments of rice in the droppings of infected canine.Part of the tapeworm?s life cycle occurs in the flea as the host. Therefore, if your Boxer has tapeworms, it has fleas too and the treatments for both are usually prescribed together by the vet.The roundworms (toxocara) live and produce hundreds of eggs in the intestine.
They cause digestive upset in puppies, poor growth, and thin or out-of-conditioned coat. The infected puppies may become listless, have a potbelly or tucked in appearance. Once the roundworms migrated from the gut to the lungs, your Boxer can suffer lung damage, cough and pneumonia. The roundworm eggs in the dog droppings get passed out and about. These are very hardy eggs, resistant to heat and cold, and can survive up to 7 years in the soil.
The eggs can pass on to children through ingestion and cause them to fall sick as well.As precautions, you can toilet train your Boxer puppy to use a place where you can easily clean up and dispose of the droppings into the sewer. Have your children wash their hands every time after they handle the puppies and discourage your puppies from licking people hands or faces.http://www.1st-in-dogstuff.com/keeping-your-dog-healthy.php.

Raising A Puppy: Who Is The Boss?
Raising a puppy could be as difficult as raising a child. The only consolation you'd have is that you won't need to buy diapers. However, you'd have to settle for "crap land mines" if you haven't trained your dog very well.
Your dogs may have impregnated another dog or just come home pregnant, but you won't have any problems with its puppies. In fact you can even sell those puppies.
Whereas when your teenager has impregnated someone or comes home pregnant, you'll have lots of moral dilemmas at hand.
Raising a puppy has got its similarities with raising a child. In fact, one could even consider that raising a puppy could be the training ground for you raising your own child in the future. Both of them would involve responsibilities, although the latter one involves more. Raising a puppy will help you learn how to be more responsible as well.
Just like a child, you'd love your dog to be a great companion and dependable as well....
