I have an 11 month old male boxer and he keeps chewing on his bottom. I have tried Lanacaid cream, sprays and 'head and shoulders.' Any suggestions?

If he's chewing on his bottom he might need to have his anal glands squeezed. You should talk to your vet.

Your dog could be suffering from food allergies. I also had this issue with one of my dogs. Best remedy was to go to a raw diet. No bum licking and a whole host of other benefits, i.e. better breath, better teeth, less shedding, flea resistent (after 6 months on the diet). Look into it. One of the best suggestions I ever had and I will never go back to commercial dog food again.

Best remedy "raw diet". What exactly do you mean? I feed my boxer Purina Lamb & Rice. She likes it. I just wonder if that may be causing her to itch constantly.
