i think everyone has there own opinions on which is the right food to feed our dogs...........but i think I am right in saying not many people on here will be a fan of pedigree chum....... it is not the best qaulity food out there for young pups or any dog.........this does not mean the better the qaulity , the more expensive it is.......in fact I have found the ones that cost a little more go further, and last longer simply because they have on a percentage, more actual food ( meat and rice) in them ............so you dont need to feed as much, were as PC is nothing but water , with a little added meat.........
Growing Boxer pups, and all pups for that matter, need the right balance of vitamins, as well as meat, in the food...............there are plenty of good (dried) foods if you dont want to feed raw!............. some of th ones I would recommend are ........
Burns!........Arden Grange!........Oscars!........all of thes have web site, and I think will deleiver ( I feed my 2 Oscars)............... you can gradually switch his food over a period of a couple ofdays.............as long as you dont switch, onto a different food every few days......and confuse him, he will soon get used to his new food..............the good thing about dried food , is it is also good for his teeth (keep them clean)...............and you will find on the back of the bags, the right amount to be feeding for the right age...........this helps you, because you know you are feeding the right amount of food for the size and age of your dog................Boxers are a breed , that need careful joint maintenance, while they are growing, ...........and PC wont provide any of the neccessary vits to promote healthy strong joints..........look for foods with adden , Glucosamie, Fish Oils.......Omega 3
