I can't put this any blunter. Without sounding rude......If you buy it from the grocery store it isn't worth feeding. Alls it does is put substance in your dogs belly. Not the proper nutrients he needs. I feed Solid Gold. You will be surprised the little private kennels and breeders close to you that are retailing the holistic and quality foods.

Ok - here is the skinny.

You should avoid foods with lots of fillers, ie: corn, soy, brewer's rice, and other things along this line. You should also avoid foods with meat-by-products. If you must shop at your local grocery for foods then you are going to have to do your research and read labels.

If you live in the sticks, then chances are there is a feed store near you somewhere. Most feed stores carry some of the better foods. Also, if you live in the sticks, chances are you are going to "the city" every once in a while. While you are there - get dog food.

Honestly, Beneful is one of the absolute worst foods on the market. I am certainly not trying to tell you this to be rude, honestly, but it's horrid. I'd honestly feed dog chow first. I would check out all of those threads someone posted to the websites for the better food. Trust me, with a Boxer you don't need extra gas LOL, and that's what you get from those crappy dog foods, LOTS of it. You can often find good foods at local feed stores, small mom and pop operations, boarding and breeding kennels, etc. At least try looking at those sites to see if any of those are anywhere near you. You can also have food delivered by mail and, depending on the place, get free shipping or reduced shipping, etc.

I beleived that, untill I was looking at the health food section in Hannaford and discovered they were selling Wysong dog and cat food, and a few other brands of natural dog food. Most of the brands did contain corn, but they are still much healthier than the foods found in the dog asile. Unfortunately the bags were quite small.
