VICTOR Select Beef Meal & Brown Rice Formula, Dry Dog Food

Started using this brand when we got our golden retriever puppy. It was what the breeders used. He is growing like crazy and eats his food quick. The photos are of him at 8 weeks and 10 weeks.

This dog food has everything my vet told me to look for in healthy, high quality food, for a significantly lower price that most other similar foods. My dog loves it too - she used to be a picky eater but she scarfs this down, even after 2 years of eating this or their chicken and rice formula. The chicken and rice is more expensive but considering it's a 40 lb bag, not a 30 or 28, it actually still works out cheaper than other brands at this level of quality.

Although I do use it as a filler to go with a ton of cooked vegetables, ground turkey, beef heart and chicken livers. No dog food on it's own is good enough nutrition for my dogs. This one helps.

Our GSD is 2yrs old and we have tried different recommended "premium" dry dog food brands (different Purina Pro Plan varieties, Natural Balance). But our GSD just wouldn't eat them. We switched to Victor Hi-Pro Plus (a different variety) earlier this year and she gobbled it up, so we thought we had a winner. However, she had a serious side-affect with it causing terrible constipation. I mean her stools were almost rock hard - it was crazy. They would literally crumble. We started adding a lot of water to mix in, but it made zero difference. I searched the internet to see if anyone else was reporting similar issues, but did not find anything, so guessed it was a bad batch as I've never seen anything so unnatural. We contacted Victor about this to alert them (in case other owners might be reporting similar issues), but unfortunately they did not respond. Still, we get it, sometimes thing slip through the cracks, and we tried this Victor Beef Meal & Brown Rice formula because it had less protein (still a good amount, but not as much as found in Hi-Pro Plus), and her stools are better, though I think they are on the cusp - if they were any more firm, I would switch to something else. We still mix in a lot of water, and we also have added in omega oils to her meals. We're on our second bag of the Beef Meal & Brown Rice formula and the experience has been consistent. She still likes it very much, and her stools seem to be ok (not soft, but not too firm either). Anyway, for now, this is our go to, and just glad to find something she likes.

Got this food from our breeder when we got our dog and she loves it still. Dog sitting for my brother and his dog is a few years older but they can eat the same good, convenient.

I was recommended this and dog loves it! I recently had to switch her food because she keeps licking my face by accident while I’m gluten free so it was making it hard for me, she actually liked this food and good to know it’s healthy:)

Only thing my great dane can handle.

My dogs love this product
