Boxador puppies9/26/2023 We eventually learned he was extremely allergic to both fleas and grass. My rescue came with a ton of bald patches, and continued to have itchiness for quite some time. I can only possibly offer advice on the itchy spots. Pictures of her first day with us for tax! TL DR - we were chosen by a lab/boxer mix and I need all the advice on training and socialization and any boxador experiences! I want her to have the life she deserves with the people she has chosen to love her, please help me give her that! I guess I am looking for input from the dog community to see how well we might be accepted at a dog park at this point. I don’t want to discourage her energy and playful behavior, but it is turning destructive and driving my husband crazy. I know our situation isn’t ideal for her right now, she has so much energy and I want to take her out of the yard for playtime and walks but the more we venture into the neighborhood, the more she tries to run off. Any and all tips welcomed and so appreciated! I don’t want to anger or offend other dog owners by taking her to the dog park for socialization when her recall is not what it should be yet, but I’m afraid to wait too long and then have her not socialized correctly. I want her to grow up around other dogs to learn kindness and how to read body language, but she is a bad eloper due to her stray past. I am also looking for advice on training, socializing, etc because I am conflicted on where to begin. I rinse thoroughly but it doesn’t seem to cut down on itching. Ives oatmeal wash (we use on our hedgehogs because it’s so gentle), Dawn dish soap, regular puppy soap, and flea/ticks dog soap. She also gets some CBD oil to help with hyperness occasionally. I have been mixing some tuna in her food to make it more appealing to her. Anyone know if this is common/what it is? We use Wag brand dog food from Amazon and I give her an additional supplement for hair and bone health. After her flea/tick bites and injuries from the elements healed she has continued to itch and has small, round bare patches on her sides mainly. She seems to have some sort of allergy as well. Her feet don’t seem out of proportion to her body at this point, but could malnutrition have effected that? She was very skinny when we got her, so I’m not sure what to expect on size. She is a spayed female, about 30 pounds now. We have 2 full grown Shih Tzus in addition to new girl, Penny. However, she’s still a puppy and we have never had a puppy before. She has an amazing bond with our 2yo son and I think she is his “heart dog”. She didn’t deserve anything that happened to her and we will not give up on her no matter what. The shelter provided me with her old paperwork, citing that they thought she was 3 mos in April 2022, which would put her about 9-10 months right now. She roamed for another month according to neighborhood locals until I got her. We took all necessary steps, eventually finding out that she was adopted from the local shelter during a free adoption weekend and then dumped/let loose about a month later. On July 29th, this girl jumped into my car while working. Notable WIKI pages:įor content relating to the physical care of dogs, try our sister subreddit, /r/DogCare.
