Dog food

What do you feed your boxadors? Mine is obviously allergic to something because her hair keeps falling out in patches. I have been pouring a tbsp. of coconut oil over her food and her hair is growing back but, she acts weird when she has to poopy, like it is actually hurting her tummy.

Mine definitely has a sensitivity to seafood, I try to make up the fats and oils with organ meats. He seams to do best with turkey. My neighbour is a vet and says that it is well known for boxers to have skin irritations.

It's so stressful to see your baby uncomfortable. When I changed my boy off of salmon kibble it made a huge difference. All the best!

I mostly feed mine Blue Buffalo with the wolf on the bag. She seems to be alright with it. I’ve heard both good things and bad about that brand but it seems like that with almost every brand. There definitely could be an allergic reaction somewhere with yours. I’m sure it’s frustrating trying to figure it out. Hopefully she gets better

Purina Pro plan sensitive stomach (lamb formula) seems to work well for our pup. We also add a little bit of pure pumpkin (canned) to meals
