VICTOR Purpose Grain Free Hero Canine, Dry Dog Food

I believe this dog food is the best I have ever bought. It is very healthy and all ofu babies love it. I do have one major complaint:bAmazon does not ship this product in a box. It comes only in the bag that comes from the seller. The bag is not strong enough and rips open. When I got the first bag, it was delivered to the office of the apartment complex I live in. The bag ripped at the bottom as my son barely lifted it off the floor and the dog food spilled all over as it was a 50 lb. bag. Needless to say, they were not happy. The entire contents had to be thrown out as they just finished cleaning the floor with caustic products. I called Amazon and the bag was replaced. I got the replacement today. One entire side of the dog food has been retaped on the back surface of the bag by someone in the shipping route. Again when my son picked it up, the exact same thing happened! Dog food all over the office. I want to keep on using this product as it seems to be one of the best. At over $100 per bag, I expect someone somewhere to get a clue and ramp up the packaging accordingly.

Yes, This is a long review, but I've read too many reviews of several fine foods with giant "do not buy" or "made my dog sick foreverrrr" headlines and I think it often has to do more with the owner or that particular dog and not a specific food.Victor dog food is a very good food. Obviously any fool will know that dogs may not like it or it may not agree with your dog-hey, that's life. That being said, my pack which includes two who can't eat grains and have exceptionally touchy stomachs, two elderly(one old dude is a touchy dog), a toy and a large breed puppy all eat the same food and do great. We rotate diets between four high quality brands to reduce overexposure to the same ingredients, mostly the vitamins and minerals added. We happen to also really like the smaller, firmer poops we go around and scoop every morning. Our dogs are thriving on this and the other foods with their rotational diet. Victor is very dependable in nutritional quality and it's high manufacturing quality so not worried about the next huge brands' food recall. It works great with all our dogs. I've kind of gone over why we feed Victor and the fact it works with them, but if your dog is doing awesome on the foods he's on, why fix what isn't broken? If you're looking into a move up in diet, this is a great food, but please, for the love of Pete! make a GRADUAL change. If your dog is sensitive or older this change could be up to three or four times longer. I mean, imaging your stomach going from a diet of plain toast for years over to one full of fruits and veg quickly-even over two weeks. Um, where's the toilet, right? Think about what your dog has been eating for a sec and a gradual change would probably be a good idea, no? This goes for any dog food. I believe a too quick switch (and that time varies from dog to dog) is often the culprit for why dogs get sick after switching from one food to another in so many of the bad reviews. I've read it in so many how a food is terrible and the cause of all that ails the dog and yours is next! Eek! Uh, it's probably that dog, not all dogs, and not bad food. It's just not the right one for that dog but probably fine for 99% of dogs. Obviously, if your dog, even with a slow switch, continues to get the poops, then whatever the new food is it's probably not a good match for your dog's system; they are unique just like people.

I raised my lab on Taste of the Wild and she loved it. Her health has been great for the past eight years but recently I have been getting quite worried about it being manufactured by Diamond foods who has a somewhat lack luster record for recalls. We just added a German Shepherd puppy to our pack and I set out to find a food that was high quality, reasonably priced and all life stages food so that both my girls could eat it. Victor fits that bill. I gathered a list of potential suitors and then researched for several nights finally settling on Victor as it is rated as a high quality 5 star food on several of the pet food review websites, is highly praised on several forums and Victor has never had a recall that I could find.At the time of this review I have now had them on Victor Grain Free for about 4 months. A single 30lb bag will feed both my pups, a 7 month old German Shepherd and an adult Labrador for 1 month. Both my pups have shiny soft coats and unlike the last food they only have occasional gas and never have any stool problems. I rotate between the Active dog and puppy regular and this one with glucosamine already added since my girls also get a daily liquid glucosamine supplement. The girls love the food and go CRAZY for it. I do add a bit of warm water to the kibble which probably gives it more aroma. Lastly I also appreciate the small kibble size since my dogs eat very quickly. Victor is a winner for me. If your searching for a high quality food I would highly recommend this brand. I am certainly glad that my research into finding a better food led me in this direction. If this review was helpful please click yes below. Thank you.
