Caring for a Boerboel: What Every Owner Should Know
The Boerboel is a powerful and intelligent breed that requires a very specific environment to thrive. They are deeply loyal and protective companions, but they are not the right fit for every household. Understanding their needs is essential before bringing one into your home.
Nutrition
A balanced, high-quality diet is critical. Boerboels need the right levels of protein, fat, and nutrients to maintain healthy growth and prevent joint or weight-related issues. Proper portioning and feeding routines are just as important as the food itself.
Supplements
Joint health, coat condition, and overall well-being can often be supported through appropriate supplementation, especially as these dogs mature.
Hydration
Fresh, clean water must be available at all times. Boerboels are large, active dogs, and dehydration can become an issue quickly without consistent access to water.
Exercise and Space
These are not apartment dogs. Boerboels need room to move, structured daily exercise, and consistent mental stimulation. Without this, they can become frustrated, destructive, or unhealthy.
Consistency and Care
Boerboels thrive in stable, structured environments. Training, clear boundaries, and routine are essential to their success. Owners must also stay attentive to changes in weight, mobility, or behavior, and seek guidance early if concerns arise.
