what is the best dog food for a 3 month old female boxer puppy?

Answer 1

ALL of those answers are INCORRECT. Dogs are not made to eat food made with wheat, corn, soy, sorghum, etc. Purina, Iams, Science Diet, Pedigree, Kibbles n Bits (excuse me while I barf), or any other brand you can get in the supermarket is not suitable for optimal health. Chicken Soup, Innova, Canidae, Merrick, Wellness, Solid Gold, The Honest Kitchen are all good foods and Chicken Soup is the cheapest in my area. By the way, switch any large breed puppy off puppy food by about 5 months of age to prevent hip dysplasia and pano!

To the answer below mine: no, Science Diet and Iams are not great at all. Not even horses and cattle are designed to eat grains, they are designed to eat grass. Dogs are carnivorous omnivores. Here is the ingredients list of Science Diet Chicken and Rice, one of the "better" formulas:

Chicken, Brewers Rice, Rice Flour, Ground Whole Grain Corn, Soybean Meal, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Chicken By-Product Meal, Animal Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), Soybean Oil, Chicken Liver Flavor, Dried Beet Pulp, Dried Egg Product, Flaxseed, Iodized Salt, Vitamin E Supplement, Dicalcium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, vitamins (L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement), minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite), preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid, Beta-Carotene, Rosemary Extract.

Brewers rice is the junkier, less nutritious part. Corn, sorghum, beet pulp, and soybeans are all pointless fillers. It contains those evil by products plus an unnamed mystery meat "animal fat" source. That can be road kill, zoo animals, euthanized pets. Nasty. And Science Diet is at least as expensive as Chicken Soup and Canidae. What a huge ripoff. There is NOTHING scientific about "Science" Diet

Answer 2

A 3 month old needs puppy food until at least 6 months. Any high quality puppy food will do. Iams smart puppy is great. Science diet puppy is great, Blue seal LCR Puppy is great. Natural Banance Puppy from walmart is really good. These are all, all natural foods. Stay away from the junk purina, pedigree and such they are loaded with meat by products and you dont want to know what they are. Dont get cought up with all the designer dog foods out there they are expensive and hard to get sometimes. Read the labels before you buy any dog food.

Answer 3

Purina Puppy Chow Healthy Morsels

Answer 4

I would 100% ignore Cecil's comment because of how ignorant and wrong it is. No dog is born vicious or a "baby eater" (sorry you do not know what you are talking about), it is all about the owners! And I do agree with everyone else about keeping your dogs outside, you should have them inside the majority of the time. If not, definitely bring the Pit Bull puppy inside so she can have a happy puppy hood and not be killed before she reaches the age of 1 (poor thing I would not be able to handle that). Introduce them slowly with your supervision and with you in charge not your husky/boxer mix, letting them take over is sending the message that they are the boss not you. Please help your puppy and dogs!

Answer 5

Puppy Chow

Answer 6

I've never had a boxer but I do know Iams and kibbles and bits are a good brand too for a little beginner puppy like yours.Also good luck!

Answer 7

find a good food with protein and all the other stuff - i am not a canine dietition(sp?). But dont buy a food only on that info. Your pup must enjoy dinner

Answer 8

I highly reccomend Bil-jac puppy food, but whatever food you buy, the first ingredient should be meat. (Chicken, Lamb, Beef, etc.)

Answer 9

i use purina puppy chow on my 12 week old mastiff.

Answer 10

beneful puppy chow by purina works for my basset puppy. my vet approves of it and my puppy loves it.
