Gentry Boxers is a Natural Rearing Breeder. This means that we first and foremost feed a species-specific natural diet including meat, bone, organ, and appropriate supplements. We also employ no chemicals or poisons, use only homeopathic vaccinations and methods to boost immunity, use energy and holistic healing methods supported by kinesiology and flower essences, train using "clicker" or positive reinforcement, and encourage our clients to do the same.
We use no heartworm insecticides (Heartguard, etc.) and run heartworm antigen tests every six months. This can be done very economically by sending serum directly to Hemopet. As of this writing, the cost is approximately $12. A blood draw is required that is then spun down to serum. If you can't do this yourself, ask your vet to pull about 8cc of whole blood and spin it down to 1-2cc of serum for you. Most vets will do this for around $15. Our dogs live in one of the most mosquito-intensive parts of the United States, and we have not used traditional heartworm preventatives for years. We have never had a positive screen for heartworm, but if we ever do, we will use natural means to treat them.
We also utilize Animal Communication, an intuitive way of communicating with our animals to sense emotions, physical conditions, and generally to have conversations about lots of topics. This is a skill that all of us innately possess, but many people simply do not use or trust in themselves. It is a skill that can be developed with training, patience and practice, and we highly recommend that all animal breeders look into this valuable tool to make their breeding programs work better and improve the lives of the animals in their care and those of their clients.

These are the products and resources that I use to support my own dogs and I hope that you will research natural means to prevent and treat dis-ease. The foundation for good canine health is a robust raw diet with proper supplements, along with natural supports for parasite control and the use of natural immune supports rather than traditional vaccines.
