We own (or does he own us), a 3 year old boxer, weighing in at 92 pounds! This is our third boxer, the others were all females and lived to be 10-12 years old.
   
Someone on this site was asking about what to feed boxers (or any other breed, for that matter). Our boy developed an allergy and we didn't know what was causing it. We purchased a prescription dry from our vet to see if that helped him, then a dr that I know (who fosters dogs), said the ONLY food to put him on was Flint River. It's all natural, no additives, no wheat, etc. Within 2 weeks he was back to his old self and his coat is beautiful, and he's stopped scratching (he's a fawn). He took to this food like kids take to an ice cream cone!! If anyone wants a premium dog food, this is it. They deliver it right to our door, and it's not sold in pet stores. Check out their website: www.flintriver.com
   
You won't be disappointed!!
