Default BARF diet for boxers?


To remove this ad please Register
I have done Raw/barf diet in the past and had great success with it. This probably seems like a stupid question but can Boxers do raw? I guess I worry about them because of the way thier jaws sit (underbite). So does any feed raw diet to their boxers and how successful has it been?

s do just fine with a raw diet. The front teeth aren't used all that much for eating anyway; it's the back teeth that they use to crunch up the bones. I've been feeding my Boxers a raw diet for just over six years now - I'm sure that if they were having trouble eating it, I would have noticed by now.

We feed prepared raw and I truly believe it has saved Keepers life. He has ulcerative colitis and cannot digest kibble. He now has solid poop, likes to eat and doesn't shed nearly as much. We have tried a barf diet but he doesn't seem to get the idea of chewing bones. I will likely try again in the future but for right now the Nature's Variety is working great.
