Boxers and Chow Time

[alisonCO]

Does anyone else have a hard time getting there Boxers to eat? Mine are almost 2, and eat very sporadically. They get dry food in the morning and dry and yoghurt in the evening (Nutro Adult Lamb & Rice). They probably only eat about 2 cups/day. My husband thinks that if they are really hungry, that they will eat. I thought about trying canned food, but it just seems so fatty and full of preservatives. Any suggestions.

You might try the Nutro's for large breed dogs instead. It's main ingredient is chicken and dogs tend to prefer it over lamb.

2 cups per day is not very much for a growing boxer. Are they a good weight or do they look too skinny? I wouldn't be too concerned unless they look really gaunt. What does your vet say??
