Dog Allergies & Breed Specific Allergy
The Boxer Dog Breed Allergies
Allergies in Boxers start as slight itching and can become so troublesome that they begin to lose their hair. Sores can eventually develop, which can become infected easily with staph bacteria.
Causes and Treatments for External Allergies
These allergies can be caused by fleas or toxins. It's important to treat your Boxer with flea medication that will kill adults and larvae. To determine if it is a toxic allergy, the process of elimination is the best solution.

Your boxer's respiratory allergies can be caused by pollen and treated easily by washing your Boxer Dog. Seasonal allergies, caused by trees, weeds and pollen, can be treated by prescription medication from your vet. One caveat is to not let a vet treat an allergy with Prednisone. Prednisone will save your dog’s life in an emergency situation.
