Allergies
Allergies come in various forms and can particularly affect boxers as a breed. They could be caused by a certain chemical or ingredient in food, or may be caused by something present in the local environment. Airborne allergies can also affect boxer dogs, and many suffer from seasonal allergies caused by crops, pollens, spores and airborne particles. Some boxers have suffered allergies to grains in their food from corn and wheat products, and from food products made with beet pulp.
