Boxer eyes are usually clean and bright. Hold your Boxer’s head in your hands and look directly into the eyes. If you do this almost every day, you’ll quickly notice if anything is wrong and he will become accustomed to being handled. Clean any tears or discharge from the wrinkle in front of the eye. If dirt builds up there, it can become irritated.

Canine ophthalmology specialists handle canine eye problems. Veterinarians with this medical specialty often have offices together with other veterinary specialists. Some make visits to local veterinary offices on a regular basis.

Ears

Whether your dog’s ears are cropped or uncropped, they need occasional attention to keep them clean. Use a cotton swab with a small amount of hydrogen peroxide or an ear-cleansing solution to clean the inside of the ear. If you notice a buildup of dark or red wax and a bad smell, it could indicate the presence of ear mites. For that, he’ll need a trip to the veterinarian for prescription medication.

It’s important to get him used to having his ears cleaned in case he ever gets an infection. It is very hard to hold down a full-grown Boxer who doesn’t want his ears touched. It’s better to get him accustomed to this while he’s young.

There’s a clever way of keeping your Boxer occupied while you clean his ears. Just put peanut butter on the end of his nose so he’ll be preoccupied with licking it off and you can clean his ears in peace. Boxer ear cleaning goes a lot easier if you have a second person to help. The assistant can hold a Kong filled with peanut butter or some other distraction in front of him while you use the cotton swab to wipe out his ears.
