We have 2 German Shepherd dogs (from Germany), one 12 years old and the other 3 years old. Both don not tolerate most “off the shelf” dog foods sold in the USA, as they were both raised on high quality, grain free foods. Our 12 year old has arthritis (no surprise in a 12 yo GSD), but she is a retired working dog and has a lot of mileage on those joints. Victor Hero has been a GODSEND! Both dogs have excellent energy and mobility, beautiful coats and they love the food. No GI or tolerability issues whatsoever. As a dog trainer/handler, I highly recommend this food for GSD or other large, energetic or working breeds. Working and sporting dogs are like human athletes, and they need top quality nutrition to be at their best. Hero is top notch, and I have tried most all of the premium brands over the years. Thank you, Victor, for a quality product.

Tried this for my two older pit bulls. Within a day, they both had loose stools and my oldest messed in the house two nights in a row within the 6 hours of sleep

Tried this for my two older pit bulls. Within a day, they both had loose stools and my oldest messed in the house two nights in a row within the 6 hours of sleep I get. Wish I could get my money back given I’ve only used it for 3 days

This was our first time trying Victor and it’s been a great experience. Doug & Carrie both love it, which is always the most important part. I really like that it’s high protein and includes hip & joint support. Perfect for active dogs. It feels like a high quality food and we’ll definitely keep buying it.

WE had to switch Duke off of this about a year ago and went with a Purina brand for adult dogs. we noticed after a few months that even with supplementation his hips and joints were bothering him regularly, even to the point he needed assistance down the stairs. After changing back, this blend of glucosamine and chondroitin worked best for his joint health and we saw noticeable improvements in only a few days.

I've been feeding this to my big boy for at least 7 years. He's 9 now and has very sensitive digestion, so I've had to be careful about his intake. I don't know that it helps with joints, he does have a limp sometimes these days, but he doesn't puke it up and he has maintained a healthy weight, despite his age and being free-fed.

River has itchy skin

I don’t know what’s so amazing about this food because she has just started eating it. I’m trying to find food that will alleviate any allergies she might have developed. The only drawback is that it’s in small kibbles and I think she would prefer larger pieces to bite down on.

Delivery guy deserves a medal. He backs down our long sloped driveway and carries heavy boxes to our door with our shepherd loudly guarding the house with full view window next to door, and this man never flinches. Also. Doggo spoiled with his high end food. Thanks chewy

He ate it first when he had 5 other dry foods in front of him

He wasn’t eating his other kibble anymore, so we bought 5 other brands to see if he liked one. We put them all out to let him choose, he sniffed the: all and ended

Food is amazing just that the last bag was moldy

This food has been amazing for my American bully but today I was going to feed my dog and the bag at the bottom is all moldy and hard super bad smell also noticed

This food has been amazing for my American bully but today I was going to feed my dog and the bag at the bottom is all moldy and hard super bad smell also noticed some bugs coming out of it. My dog usually it’s her food right away and I was wondering why she wasn’t eating all her food at once and I now understand that the food was bad!! The 50 lb bag was almost done, it only has around 10 lb or less, but I won’t be feeding my dog that one again.
