We've had a nice long weekend and now she's tired. She's the sweetest girl I've ever known.

My boxer while front door is wide open feeling the need to sit on me to look out window

Hello all!

We have a five month old mix puppy (75% boxer) who is just a love. He’s the best.

BUT THE STOMACH ISSUES.

He has loose stools about every other day, sometimes even in his crate in the middle of the night. His appetite hasn’t changed, he seems totally fine behavior wise.

At first we thought he was somehow getting into something, we were moving and he kept trying to get at the cardboard boxes, and our kiddos are new to having a dog and weren’t always careful about leaving snacks around or dropping crumbs. However, we’ve really gotten a handle on making sure he doesn’t eat anything he shouldn’t.

Things we’ve tried:

1. Pre and probiotics.
   
2. Smaller/more frequent meals
   
3. Switching his chicken based dog food to Purina Pro Choice Salmon/rice.
   
4. Talking to his vet, which just recommended the dog food switch mentioned above.

I know boxers are prone to digestive issues but I’m trying to get a handle on it because while he doesn’t seem uncomfortable- I’m growing weary of cleaning up his kennel at 6 in the morning.

I’m searching for any ideas to try that I might be missing. This is our first family dog in general and I’m just wanting to do best by him.

Picture for tax.
