It really depends. My dog has a very sensitive stomach so we use the petsmart brand. One brand that has specific types of food for different breeds. Its called royal canin. I believe they have one for boxers.
Take the Purina One 30 day challenge and you'll never use another brand again!
I know it costs more to buy a high quality dog food ( such as Wellness, Dick Van Patten, etc.), but it can save you money in vet bills and give you a healthier dog. (We have an American Bulldog that has allergy issues. Our vet recommended that we stay away from foods that contain wheat, corn, rice, and chicken (allergy triggers).
I think it depends on the dog. I feed my dog Walmart's Ol'Roy; she didn't like Kibbles and Bits, or Beneful, or the cheapest. We give her the occasional small steak or roast bone, vegetable soup leftovers. I have a casserole she will sit and watch cook for over an hour just for her share..[lots of veggies, lean hamburger, salsa, corn bread topping].
Canidae is a good dog food. More expensive than some, but if you want a good quality dog food, it will cost a bit more. Be sure to read the ingredients list. As already noted, check out The Whole Dog Journal.
Dick Van Patten would be your best choice, but if money is an issue step down to blue buffalo or maybe the ultra nutro no corn no wheat of course these products can only be bought at pet stores in the end going with a better dog food, you have less vet bills, less stool, and the dog will not eat as much either because the food is higher in quality than the cheaper brands that use empty fillers.
My vet recommends Hill's Science Diet because it is nutritionally backed by science. I read the list of ingredients and % nutrition chart and alternate between this brand and other nicer brands with a similar nutritional analysis and %.
