My new family addition (5wk old Boxer)

May 22, 2008

This past weekend I picked up a 5 week old Boxer puppy from a rescue (Ella). Her mom had stopped feeding the puppies, but she was already doing very well on her own anyway. We already have an almost 2 year old Lhasapoo (Buster) who up until the afternnon of the day when this video was shot, was being extremly snobish and doing his best to ignoring the new pup.

I'm not normally a guy to post pictures of my pets, or even take video... But last night I captured a couple really funny scenes on my pocket camera and thought this one was worth posting. Whats amazing is that the MIC on the camera was actualy on. These two will now play for 15-20 minutes like this all out and not make a SINGLE sound.... This is a welcome change from her hound-esque howl she can get going at night...

I recently have to bought a 5 week old puppy and wondering what food you feed them on? Its previous owner said pedigree chum but i have realised that this is to ritch for such a young puppy. Do they need the meat or liquid (puppy milk ect...) I would be greatful for any advice you could give me. If you could get in touch as soon as possiable that would be much appreciated. Thank you very much, Judith Jones

I would recommend as well as most vets to stay away from Pedigree... When I got my pup that is what she was on as well. Over 2 days I gradually moved her over to just eating softened canidae dry food. It's the only food I've fed my dogs from my Rottweilers, to my boxer and even my little Poodle-Lhasa mix. Just put her amount of food into a bowl of slightly warm water, just enough water so it will be mostly soaked up by the food. Let it sit for a minute or 2 and it should be soft enough for her to eat.
