This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your dog's temperament, activity level and environment. If you have any questions regarding your pet's health, please contact your veterinarian.
We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.
How are Royal Canin diets preserved?
All of our dry diets are preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Our canned diets are naturally preserved and sterilized during the cooking and canning process.
Where do the ingredients in Royal Canin diets come from?
We select our ingredients based on multiple factors, including the supplier’s compliance with our quality and food safety requirements, consistent availability, and on the nutrients required to meet the dietary needs of the pet.Royal Canin is making strides towards sustainability by attempting to obtain sources of raw materials as close to each manufacturing facility as possible. In some cases, we use international suppliers, because only those suppliers can offer raw materials that comply with our quality and food safety standards.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain by-products?
Royal Canin chooses ingredients because they deliver high-quality nutrients that support our customized pet food formulas. Using chicken by-product meal instead of chicken meal for example will allow Royal Canin to maintain its highly customized nutrient standards while achieving a more secure and sustainable supply.

Tailor-Made Nutrition
Designed for the Specific Needs of the BoxerWhy Pure Breed Dogs Need Tailored Nutrition
From their personalities to their distinctive physiologies, pure breed dogs have unique characteristics that make them sought-after and beloved companions. When choosing a formula, it's important to keep in mind the unique characteristics of your breed including:
Face and Jaw: All dogs fall into two basic jaw types: Brachycephalic or mesocephalic. Breeds with short, broad muzzles (like Bulldogs) are examples of a brachycephalic jaw. Breeds with a longer muzzle (like Labrador Retrievers) are examples of mesocephalic breeds. The jaw type, and even biting patterns can affect how a breed picks up kibble.
Skin Types: The skin's most important function is to serve as a barrier of protection-but not all breeds have the same skin type. From wrinkled and folded (which traps heat and moisture) to sensitive or water resistant, precise levels of key nutrients help to support a breed's unique skin health needs.
Distinctive Coats: There's more to a coat than meets the eye. From the color and texture to undercoats, each pure breed dog has a unique coat with unique needs.
Breed Specific Formulas
Every dog is unique. From the small, flat-faced Pug to the obesity-prone Labrador Retriever, Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition is tailor-made to address the unique needs of pure breed dogs. These breed specific formulas benefit from the latest Royal Canin research on the selection of the best protein sources, unique nutrients and tailor-made kibbles.
Formulated for Boxers
Royal Canin's Boxer Adult Dry Dog Food is designed exclusively for pure breed Boxers over 15 months.
Ideal muscle mass: Boxers are known to have powerful muscles. This formula helps maintain muscle mass with an appropriate protein content (24% min.) and L-carnitine.
Health cardiac function: Boxers are prone to cardiac sensitivity, so Boxer Adult Dry Dog Food contains specific nutrients including taurine, EPA and DHA to help support healthy cardiac function.
Antioxidant complex: This formula contains an exclusive antioxidant complex to help support cellular health.
Exclusive Kibble
Boxers have a short muzzle with a thick upper lip, and the teeth in their lower jaw are set in a straight line. The wave-shaped kibble of Boxer Adult Dry Dog Food is designed to make it easier for this breed to pick up kibble and helps encourage chewing.
Why Royal Canin?
Over time, Royal Canin has accumulated vast knowledge about cats and dogs that only extensive research, scientific study and tireless talks with pet professionals, veterinarians and owners can provide. That knowledge led them to develop precise nutrition for cats and dogs. Each Royal Canin formula is tailored to pets' size, age, lifestyle and breed and contains more than 50 perfectly balanced nutrients for the most effective diet possible.
Their focus on science puts pets at the heart of the formulation process, choosing only ingredients that optimize the food's nutritional content. Royal Canin also continues to invest heavily in new technology to ensure their quality and food safety systems remain state-of-the-art, so pets can continue to benefit from the latest in food health and nutrition.

Yoda was about 15mos old and would eat dry dog food and then throw it up right after he ate. This problem gradually began to present itself over time. I would walk around the back yard and see the places of undigested food. We took him to the vet and thought maybe there was an obstruction. Being still a puppy and all he gets into we went ahead with getting an xray and doing the dye procedure to see if any blockage. Xray showed something suspect but without surgery could not confirm.. took him home and he continued to throw up his food about 3-5 min after he finished. It was like a "hacking" sound. Being that we needed to rule out the blockage issue we went ahead with surgery-- now feeling super Yoda was about 15mos old and would eat dry dog food and then throw it up right after he ate.

We did the pet smart store thing and bought sensitive stomach food etc...tried different brands but nothing worked. I got on Chewy.com and found royal canine for boxers and ordered the dry and canned. I was skeptical at first and have never paid this much for dog food. I have used this for 3 weeks and he has never thrown up the first time. He loves the dry equally as much and has put on weight and filled out immensely. Thank You, Royal - my Yoda is a handsome boy and is keeping his food down. Best dog food out there --bar none!!!! it expensive but so is the Vet. --so buy it and try it --- you wont regret it !!! Its like crack for a boxer plus its exceptionally good for him. … more

We have been thru about 3 different foods, before we tried Royal Canin Boxer. Our floors have never been so spotless from food! Our two boxers love this food more than any other! One has only ever had this kind, starting with boxers puppy and working to the adult, where the other is the one that had the 3 others and used to push it everywhere and half eat. They both finish every piece in their bowls! So happy with this food! I would recommend this to anyone and everyone that asks!

I was given Royal Canin boxer breed kibble and my Great Dane loved it. I should’ve just stuck with that but I decided to get her the Great Dane kibble since she’s a Dane. Big mistake! She hates it! Won’t eat it at all. I actually mixed the 2 together since it’s not good to switch them like that and my girl will get all the kibble in her mouth and spit it out in the Floor and only eat the boxer. Should’ve just stuck with this!

Ever since we switched our dog over to this food, his fur has been much softer, he sheds and poops less, and he rarely gets those sleepies in his eyes anymore. He used to knock his food out of his dish onto the floor with the old food. Now he gobbles up the Royal Cabin Boxer food in a matter of seconds! We are so glad we switched!

I have two Boxers who have been eating grain free for years. The vet urged me to switch food b/c of DCM concerns.The vet recommended this one. I was worried because Boxers can get gassy on grain but so far so good. They love it and the large wavy shaped kibble slows down their eating. They actually chew their food now!

Tried all sorts of different options. Ivet did not put any mass on him & vomited a lot. Merrill was way to strong (had no grain) & he had diarrhea & vomited. Blue Buffalo was the same. Switched him to Royal canin & he was happy & healthy in no time & without the mess all in the floor from dropping his food. It's a large piece shaped like a Z for dogs w short snouts.

I have had my dogs on several other high quality brands. They liked them, but they love RC. I cannot believe how well my once picky boxer eats. He used to not eat much and/or would spit some out. Now he's a very good eater and absolutely loves this food. I will not change foods again.

I had put my boxer on Taste of the Wild when moving them off of puppy food. It totally messed up their system for a month. After a week of being on this food everything is going great. I also like shape and how big the food is so they chew instead of inhaling their food.

A neighbor lost her boxer and had most of a left over bag of this product and passed it along to me to offer to my Borzoi and Silken Windhound. I have a few that are sometimes bored with their usual diet and they were delighted to try this and loved it so much we now have added a bag to our monthly orders. Obviously a quality feed and highly palatable, now a treat in our feeding program.
