VICTOR Purpose Grain Free Active Dog & Puppy, Dry Dog Food

Great dogfood

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 the one with glucosamine 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.

We have a 4 1/2 month old Czech German Shepherd, and we switched her to Victor Active on January 18th. She came home from the breeder on a raw food diet that was supplemented with Taste of the Wild High Prairie Puppy. We slowly transitioned her off the raw food. Since we got her, her skin was very dry, and as we transitioned her off of raw food and completely onto the kibble, her coat became more and more dull, and her skin even more dry. We made the decision to try Victor Grain-Free Active Puppy and Beef kibble. We began to transition her on January 17th, and within about 10 days, her skin was beginning to get better, and her coat began to shine about 2 weeks after introducing it. She has been on it now for 6 1/2 weeks and no longer has any dandruff at all. Her entire coat is thick and shiny, and even strangers remark on it. She has also maintained steady growth, is very fit and has gained muscle tone, and she LOVES meal time! Picture 1 (sunrise): 2/3/18, 17 days after beginning Victor her coat is really beginning to shine and her dandruff is gone. Picture 2 (at the vet): 1/23/18, 6 days after beginning Victor. She was still getting the old kibble mixed in as we transitioned her over about a week. Her coat was very dull, and she still had a lot of dandruff, to the point that the vet was concerned. Picture 3 (under couch): 1/8/18, prior to starting Victor. I chose this picture because you can see quite a bit of dandruff if you look closely.

The kibble is really small and perfect for my dachshunds. They seem to really like it and they can be kind of finicky.

Victor is one of the best dog foods vs. price on the market, I agree. But I wish they had a dedicated puppy formula. My active teenager GSD loved this but my GSD new pup, not so much. I have tried a few different kibbles with my pup. But that could be to a lot of factors including fat content and who knows what other manufacturers add to their food to enhance the taste. Frankly, the junk kibbles that my pup likes the most, I feed her in limited quantities. So I will continue to use Victor. And in the future if there is a puppy formula, I will buy for my future pups.

My puppy loves this dogfood’

Love the monthly subscription!!! No more going all over the place looking for this dog food!!

Our breeder recommended this grain-free dog food to help our beautiful dobermans grow big and strong. Her European gobies are 115 lbs, shiny, muscular and healthy. We started adding 1/4 cup Victor to 3/4 cup old dog food (Iams Mini Chunks) and mixing it together to gradually switch our dogs over to their new food. After a couple of days, our dobermans gently prodded our hands while mixing in the Victor because they were excited to eat it. And now after a week, one of our gobies is picking out the Victor food to eat and leaving the old, boring dog food on the floor. LOL! Needless to say, my dobermans love this food! The kibble size is small, so any size dog can chew it. Even though they are big dogs, our dogies have always preferred small kibble.
