Question
i have a 4months old boxer briddle pup. i live i india where the weather is quiet hot. my dog does not eat well i tried giving him a lot of proteins but he refuses to eat is there any other alternative food that i can give him.

Answer
First, I do not know what puppy food you feed him, and not familiar with brands in India.

What do you mean by "a lot of proteins"? What are you giving him?

Secondly, he is a baby-- he should be eating a natural high protein puppy food with NO corn and NO glutens. Boxers are very sensitive and usually allergic to corn ingredients. So NO corn and NO glutens in your brand of puppy food.

It is hard to answer your question when I have no information and history.

1) What puppy food are you currently feeding him

2) What is "hot" weather? The temperature in Fahrenheit degrees... not Celsius.  

3) What else are you feeding him?

4) Living conditions and situations; inside where shaded?

Please provide me with as much information as possible since you are in India. I need more to help you.
