2 year old boxer in heat?

You can't pay for good dog food, but you can pay to breed her? That make SO much sense. Duh.

I pay $28.00 a month on a *very* high quality dog food, for three dogs, so don't even give me that stupid excuse.

You are clearly misinformed about owning dogs, so get the ***** spayed, and save the world from your ignorance.

And she wasn't eating because she was in a new environment. Why was a two year old boxer on puppy chow?

Ok i know what you are going through. My 7 year old female boxer is still not spayed and whenever she goes into heat, she pukes. Or if she inhales water or food, she pukes too. I am a boxer lover and whatever you choice may be on spaying, thats your choice. dont listen to these people harping you on spaying your dog. I dont pay no mind to them either..its my choice. But enough of the spaying thing, i know what you feel and i feed my dogs purina kibbles mini chunks. they love it! I have fed my dogs purina for many years and they love it. The vet even says its a good dog food so i dont know what these people are talking about. But i hope things get better and god bless you and your family

honestly, spay the dog. if you cannot afford good food, you cannot afford appropriate vet care for a pregnant dog, much less pups. If you can't do it right, don't do it.

any experienced boxer person would know (and if you plan to breed them, you should be reading up now) that they have sensitive systems and not weaning them from one food to another can cause upset stomach.

Why was a 2yr old on puppy chow though? Puppy Chow is not mean to an adult dog. You need to purchase an age-appropriate food for her.

She may have inhaled it, but this also means she didn't chew.

Try small portions every few hours until her stomach gets used to the change. In the meantime, I have given boiled chicken cut up in white rice to mine when their stomachs are upset.

It could be that your boxer is in heat. My chow would get a little weird about food when she went into heat, and would sometimes puke. If it doesn't stop, get her checked, always better safe than sorry. And don't feel bad about where you get her food, dogs can thrive on the cheap stuff too. I once had a woman inform me that the food I was feeding my lab had a lot of sawdust in it, and I was all worried until I got home from work that day to find him eating a rotten tree branch.

Yeah it's probably the fact that she was in heat, that made her not eat as much.. Puking was caused by bad dog food.. Good quality food is not more expensive in the long run cause dogs eat far less of it.. A good quality food for a boxer say, they are going to eat 3 - 3 1/2 cups a day.. Your crappy foods would recommend that you feed 5-8 cups a day.. See the difference ?

She probably puked because of the abrupt change in dog food. Usually food switches need to be gradual for the dog to adjust.

Is there a reason you haven't spayed her? I'd suggest keeping her away from other dogs and setting an appointment for her to be spayed.

EDIT: spaying a 2 year old boxer is not complicated, nor does it cause problems. It will actually solve a lot of your issues. I don't know where you got information that it's dangerous to spay a boxer?

I am sure she just misses her buddy and being home, plus going through the heat. Did you slowly switch the dog food? Try mixing in a little high quality canned food. I am also sure you read on here that even though some dogs may love Kibbles and Bits, Beneful, (they are loaded with dyes), etc, it is like fast food is for us, not good. We all understand the tough economic times. Have you looked into something like Canidae, Chicken Soup For The Dog Lovers Soul (For The Puppy Lovers Soul for your six month old), something like that (they are still high quality but not as pricey as some). If you have to choose a Wal-Mart brand why not Purina ONE/Pro Plan, IAMS. Although with any grocery brand their is tons of fillers in the food like wheat, corn.

Ad On: I also understand the small town thing (no Pet-Smart Petco :(. Do you have a TSC (Tractor Supply), they have Blue Buffalo.

Ad On: Please send my thanks to your husband! Also thank you to you and your family. I know its tough having someone over there.

You should always change a dog's food gradually by adding the new food to the old food and gradually increasing the ratio of new food to old food. Changing it all at once can cause stomach upset.

my family fed my bros boxer ol roy till the day she died as for being in heat in is just a phase she will get thru it with some tlc or get her a male boxer or stud service you would enjoy puppies my bros boxer got ol roy, table scraps, and lots of tlc and she live for at least 15 years even after being run over twice third time was the charm they are great dogs but hard to break of habits like car chasin i really enjoyed watchin her tussle with my german shepherd good time good times an good luck

She is fine. If she is puking, its because she is in heat.

And please

get your dog spayed!!!
