20 Best Foods for a Boxer Puppy
I feed my baby Diamond puppy food. He likes it and he’s super healthy. I’ve had boxers for 65 years. I never feed Pedigree, makes a boxer gassy! And Beneful causes pancreatitis in boxers.

I have 4 boxers. Two were raw fed pretty much from the start. Best thing I ever did. Just need to supplement at first when puppies. My 8 year old and 7 year old have been raw fed for 6 years. 4 year old never been kibble fed and the 18 month old switched at 10 weeks.

Victor’s is what I’m feeding mine at this time. It’s an all stage and I have a 2.5 year old and a 6 mo. old. When I just had the one, I used Purina Pro Plan. I will be going back to it when my little one gets old enough.

Whatever you do, add FRESH food to it! Cook some ground meat, add veggies- broccoli, green beans, add (smashed or cooked) blueberries or cranberries. Sardines (in water), eggs, pumpkin or yams. It’s never to early to start them on a healthy diet. Kibble choice is meaningless – fresh, fresh, fresh. I’ve had boxers live to 12 & 14.5 years because I fed them right.

Our boxer got very sick, and thin, from feeding her Purina food when she was a puppy. When I researched what could be going on, I found that brand has hardly any nutritional value for dogs (along with many others). So I researched the best dog food brands and found the Acana brand – the one with wholesome grains – (because without grains can make boxers very sick as well) and since changing her food she has been healthy and solid for the last 9 years! It was the best decision I ever made, and that was without any vet advice just my own research. Because the vet told me purina was fine – but it was not giving her enough nourishment. Acana is not cheap but it’s well worth it. They have a puppy formula.

Our boxer had lots of food intolerance xxx we started feeding raw and it was the best thing we ever did, he was so healthy, looked young, he didn’t age, kept his young spirit right up until 2 weeks before he left us xxx I know raw maybe difficult for a pup but their are companies that make up raw feeds with all the nutrition they need and I’m sure they will have this for puppies also xxx I’m on a good group for raw feeding on here I’ll tag you in it so you can get advice as they are really helpful xxx

We have had several boxers thru the years. We do Iams, large breed. The boxers we had before 3 of them got cancer. Once we change the food to Iams, we haven’t had any issues. Our vet said it is one of the healthiest to give a boxer. We also give him meat with his food sometimes. Not all the time.
