Question
can boxers dog eat meat and if so what kind does it have to be cook

Answer
Meat can be a part of a Boxer's diet, but if it's fed incorrectly it can cause some serious health issues.  Meat can be raw or cooked, depending on what else you're feeding.  Generally speaking a wide variety is encouraged, provided you're sure of the quality and safety of the meat; Pacific Northwest salmon should be frozen solid for at least 24 hours as it can carry a fluke.  Freezing is not necessarily a bad idea for other meats as well, to try to kill off parasites and/or bacteria.  

A good site on raw and homecooked diet is here:

Good luck!
