My 3 yr olds are on a Large Puppy formula 27% protein 15% fat. You may wish to consult with your Vet as to any particular problems a high protein/fat diet might cause in a boxer.
The puppy is 9 weeks old and is a high energy breed, I doubt she's going to get too fat on puppy food not for quite some time at least. I do not think feeding puppy chow is fine, it's like a person eating corn, wheat and lard as their only source of nurishment. Yep you could probably survive on it but obviously you won't be very healthy.

timlewis, I think that Nutro Natural Choice large breed puppy would be a great choice for your dog. It's a fairly good quality food and it's not terribly expensive. I think you'll notice a difference in your dogs condition if you make the switch. By the way, I'm not sure if I said it before, but she is absolutely adorable.
