When we got Brooke she was getting over a cough, and had a runny nose. She was such a picky eater too. She would actually "chipmunk" the dry part of her dinner and walk away and drop kibble with every step or two. :) Goof ball. Before we found you guys we didn't know what to look for in a food and we took her off of the Ol' Roy wet and generic mini kibble that the breeder had her on and put her on Mighty dog and puppy chow. She was very skinny to our opinion, only about 7 pounds at 7 weeks. Ribs were easily seen. Now we have her on the last of the puppy chow and nutri max wet. She is filled out much better and had put on 5 pounds! My question is this. We are feeding her a small can of wet and one cup of dry mixed together at each meal (3x daily) She is now 3 months old, should we back off on the amount of wet? (also we got lamb and rice nutro natural dry that we are gradually switching her to) We don't want to give her too much but she is getting about 1.5 cups per meal total. She weighed 14 pounds yesterday. Thanks guys and gals!

My girl Kirra is 14 weeks and eats 1 1/2 cups of dry at breakfast and supper with a couple tablespoons of wet mixed in to form a gravy. At lunch she might eat 1/2 a cup but more often than not she doesn't eat. She weighs about 20 lbs. now. I would keep doing what your doing what your doing - she'l let you know when she needs more or less. :)

You sound like a great Boxer parent, and I'm glad that you are doing the research and looking into quality kibbles.

If you want to feed kibble, I would wean her on a premium kibble. There are many threads here that discuss some great kibbles, if you use the search button. Here are a few (in no particular order):

Canidae
Solid Gold
Wellness
Eagle Pack
California Natural
Innova
Chicken Soup

Good luck
