830 mg of L-carnitine, for the breed's best-known weakness.
Cardiomyopathy is the reason most Boxers don't reach a great age, and this food carries the full cardiac package: L-carnitine at 830 mg/kg, taurine at 2.3 g/kg, EPA and DHA at 3.4 g/kg and dehydrated tomato for lycopene. None of it prevents an inherited disease, but it supports the muscle that has to do the work.
The rest is built for the frame. Protein at 26% holds the lean, athletic muscle the breed is known for, fat at 20% fuels a dog who never quite stops being a puppy, and glucosamine and chondroitin support joints that take a lot of impact. The kibble is adapted for an undershot brachycephalic bite. Boxers also have thin, short coats prone to irritation, which the fatty acids support. For dogs from fifteen months.

Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks; decant the 12 kg. Walk her early or late — a short muzzle plus a Cape summer is a bad combination, and Boxers push themselves past the point of sense. Ask your vet about annual cardiac screening from about five, and treat any collapse, fainting or coughing as urgent. She is deep-chested, so learn the signs of bloat.
