Skinny or not to skinny that is the question.
So this is our little Boxer puppy named RVCA. I have a question for anyone who knows is she to skinny and how do we beef her up!?!A lot of people say Boxers are skinny and muscular as puppies. Let me know what you think.

I know Riley from High school in our sign language class. Your family is so adorable. Anyways I have a boxer puppy and since they are so active and hyper you need to feed them a little more. Yours is a little skinny but might be going through a growth spurt as well. They best way to fatten the puppy up is to feed several times a day since that is what they need and mix in wet food with the dry food (if you only use dry food) It will give the puppy a little extra meat on the bones to help it grow bigger and stronger. Yes they are usually a leaner breed as my 2 year old boxer is but we do have to feed her wet and dry food even to this day to keep the meat on her bones since she is so active.

have you been mixing the wet can food with her dry?
you know what i would do is boil (yes boil)the fattest beef you can find (if i remember right there is 65/35 or something like that) and then give it to her mixed with rice. you will find something that you think works and that she likes too. but of course a good expensive dog food DOES make a difference. Give her "baby royal canin". the good thing is there are a lot of options.

She's probably stressed from the "kidnapping"...yeah? Just a guess. Thanks for helping us look for MOBY tonight.
As for gettin' some junk in Rvca's trunk, feed her treats all day long and those Pedigree Pouch foods are pretty good too.

Send her to my house for awhile...guarenteed to put on 10lbs! What the meaning of her name by the way?

oh my goodness! What a gorgeous dog! We have a 2 yr old boxer - Zoe - and she was really skinny too. She seemed to go in spurts...of more skinny than other times...probably is connected to the many growth spurts. But, our Zoe still looks very slim..sleek. She's like 80 lbs of pure muscle. Good luck over the next few years...boxers are quite the handful. But, we LOVE ours! She's been the perfect dog for our little girls. :0)
