Boxer Food

Boxers are known to suffer from cataracts, cancer, obesity, arthritis, and obesity-related issues; hence diet plays a vital role in preventing the occurrence of such diseases and decreasing their probability. Boxer dog food is fortified with essentials nutrients that are designed to suit a Boxer's digestive system and jaw structure - both of which are essential in ensuring smooth digestion and hence, maximum nutrition retention.

Protein

Protein is an important macronutrient required to build and repair tissues, enhance skin and coat health, maintain hormonal balance, and regenerate cells and enzymes. Boxers need dog food with over 15% of protein content, whether it is plant-based or animal-based. In order to determine the right type of protein for your Boxer’s body, it is best to draw up a diet chart with your veterinarian or a certified canine nutritionist. Young Boxers, i.e. those below the age of 1, require more protein than adults because their bodies are still growing. Here, the best food for golden retriever puppy is one that offers tailored, breed-specific nutrition for the development of organs, strengthening of bones, and optimum growth of the brain. Likewise, Boxers that are over 9 years old need to switch onto a senior dog diet with more protein to replace lost muscle mass due to ageing.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are necessary sources of energy and brain activity for Boxers. However, the amount of carbohydrates your dog requires depends on his/her age, activity level, and possible allergens. An active Boxer, i.e. one who receives more than 4-5 hours of daily exercise, require more energy than dogs who receive anywhere between 2-3 hours of daily exercise. It is often believed that carbohydrates are the source of obesity in Boxers - whilst that is partially true, obesity from carbohydrates stems from overfeeding and underexercising. A Boxer that lives a sedentary lifestyle does not burn calories while sitting down after a walk, they only burn calories when they’re active through play, walks, swimming, and other forms of exercise. 

Fat

Fat in Boxer food is anywhere between 10 -12%. Healthy fats are often in the form of oils - fish oil, cod liver oil, olive oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, and more. Healthy fats help with cushioning organs, improving brain function, maintaining healthy skin and coat, decreasing allergies, and improving digestion.

Calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, and iron are essential minerals, likewise, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K are essential vitamins - all of which are found in nutritious, balanced, and wholesome dog food.. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for proper hormone function, strengthening of joints, maintaining skin health, and boosting the immune system.
