If you own a dog like the Boxer then you’re probably already aware that they can be very brave and protective of family. However, your Boxer can also be very afraid and even retreat at the sound of thunder or the sight of lightning. If your Boxer paces excessively or appears to be anxious, talk to your vet about ways to help address the anxiety and fear. One suggestion is to distract your Boxer from whatever is causing the fear and panic. For instance, if your Boxer is scared of thunder, help him focus on other things during a storm. You may want to play a game with him indoors or groom him as a distraction. If your Boxer forgets that he is scared then he is more likely to ignore the noise during the current storm and possibly the next storm as well. Ask your vet clinic Wichita, KS about other suggestions for helping ease your Boxer’s fears.
