Exclusive Kibble: Special Brachycephalic Jaw
The Boxer breed is a good example of the "brachycephalic" jaw type with a very short muzzle. Boxer Puppy kibbles are exclusively designed to make it easier for the Boxer to pick up and to encourage him to chew.
Muscle Development
Growth is a key phase for the puppy as it sets the pattern for his future. In 15 months the Boxer puppy will multiply his birth weight by 70 times. Boxer Puppy helps support muscle mass development with an appropriate protein content (28% min). This formula also contains L-carnitine.
Digestive Health
Digestive health is essential during the puppy's growth period: the digestive system is not yet fully developed and cannot absorb nutrients in the same way as adult dogs. The Boxer Puppy formula helps support digestive health and helps to maintain a balanced intestinal flora.
Natural Defenses
During the growth period, the puppy's natural defenses are not yet fully developed. An exclusive complex of antioxidants (vitamins E and C, lutein and taurine) in Boxer Puppy helps support the Boxer puppy's natural defenses.
