Hey, I was just wondering if anyone had tried the new "Boxer Formula" from Eukanuba?
I've not heard or seen of the Eukanuba Boxer food, but I can say that Boxers are NOT a "large breed" dog, and shouldn't be on a large-breed diet. Boxers are mid-sized dogs... not a large breed.spoiledrottenboxers\";p=\"11132 said:I currently feed Roxy and Astro the "Iams Large Breed Puppy Formula"
I agree. Same thing with the Royal Canin Boxer food. Anything to help boost sales! :|Newcastle\";p=\"11138 said:I think breed-specific foods in general are just a marketing gimmick
Yes, very true; not quite so much of an issue for Boxers, really, as for Danes, who have a lot more growing to do!Puppy formulas tend to have more protein in them which can promote faster growth in puppies leading to some of these skeletal and joint problems later on. They are formulating the large breed puppy foods with less protein and fat to try and slow down the growth.
