With recent scares in the pet food industry, many boxer owners are wondering about the best diet and way to feed their boxers. As with anything, the old adage of 'You get what you paid for' holds true, and the DOG food industry isn't any different. However, recent scares are not associated with only cheaper DOG food providers, but some nationally well known brands as well.

Check the ingredients. Generally, the cheaper the ingredients, the less it costs to package, which provides savings to boxer owners.

As with human canned food, always avoid purchasing dented cans.
The dachshund's name comes from it's earliest use. The dachshund was originally a badger hunter. In German, Dachs means "badger," Hund is "hound". This explains the breed's curious and inquisitive nature, which has survived to this day.
Check the contents of DOG foods to see what nutritional values each brand contains. You want to stay away from 'by-products' if at all possible, as these are usually anything but meat. If you wouldn't want to eat it, don't make your boxer eat it, either. Watch for the number and amount of preservatives listed on the DOG food label. Such items as BHA and BHT can cause cancer, and artificial flavorings aren't so good either.

Make sure you feed your boxer dry kibble to ensure good gum and tooth health as well as breaking up the monotony of their diets.

The Broholmer is a breed that is recognized only in Denmark. It was thought extinct in the 1960's but, in December of 1974, a purebred Broholmer popped up in Finland. This dog was a male, and the owners hoped to find a female for him to mate with, but it never happened. While still recognized as a breed, an example has yet to appear again.
