How to Heal Dry Skin in a Boxer Dog

Like humans, boxer dogs can get dry skin on their feet or other body parts, especially during winter months when indoor heat evaporates moisture from the skin. Eliminating dry skin on boxer dogs can be as simple as it would be for humans. A variety of natural remedies can help, as can other products manufactured to ensure that your boxer doesn't get dry skin during the colder seasons.
