large breed
Every food below is scored against a Boxer specifically, not against dogs in general. Breed changes how much each factor counts, which is why the same food can rank very differently from one breed to the next.
Target protein for a Boxer sits between 26% and 32%, with fat ideally under 15%.
Resting requirement scaled for activity, for a neutered adult. Divide by the kcal per 100g on the pack to get grams.
| Weight | Low | Moderate | Active |

| 28.5kg | 933 | 1088 | 1399 |

A neutered adult Boxer at the middle of the breed weight range, around 28.5kg, needs roughly 1088 kcal a day at moderate activity. Convert that to grams using the kcal per 100g on the pack. Your own dog's actual weight matters more than the breed average, which is what the app uses.

Typically 25 to 32kg, classed as a large breed, with a usual lifespan of 10 to 12 years.

Scan the pack and PawsePal scores it against your dog's actual weight, age and any health conditions, then gives you the portion in grams.
Open PawsePalCalorie figures use the same resting energy calculation as the PawsePal app and assume a neutered adult. Weight ranges are breed typicals, not targets for an individual dog. This page is information, not veterinary advice.
