Amounts are recommended for Adult dogs with moderate levels of activity and no adverse weather conditions. These are guidelines and should be adjusted as needed to maintain optimum body condition.
Puppies: Puppies will typically start nibbling moistened dog foods at 3 - 4 weeks of age. Feed as much as the puppy will clean up in 20 minutes in 4 feedings intervals throughout the day. You may mix with water, broth, or milk at a ratio near 3 parts food and 1 part liquid. Do not leave moistened food out for more than 30 minutes to ensure product freshness. Puppies will be weaned from milk by 8 weeks of age. Continue to feed up to 4 times per day, and within a few months, the puppies can be transitioned to a self - feeder until about 1 year of age. At this point feed so as to maintain good body condition using the feeding chart as a guide.
Pregnant and Nursing: Energy requirements are continually changing during stages of gestation and lactation and may require up to 4 times recommended levels of intake to maintain good body condition. Feed an amount needed to maintain good body condition of your female dog.

Prior to getting our dog, he was already on the Victor Nutra-Pro Active Dog formula and it was great for him already but I being the active dog he is, I wanted to start getting him on some food that would help benefit and prevent any future problems in the long run so I turned to this Victor formula with glucosamine. It’s been a little less than two weeks since he’s been on it this and the only difference I can tell so far is how beautiful his coat looks, he’s all black but before being on this formula his cost was a more dulled matte looking black and now it’s shiny and even soft to the touch.

I am very pleased with Victor Hero Grain Free dog food. Like other people, it’s hard to find a dog food that agrees with multiple dogs. Victor Hero Grain Free agrees with my Doberman and Standard Poodle better than any other premium dog food I’ve ever had them on. The fecals are well formed an easy to pick up consistently. Coats are healthy and shiny and they seem well satisfied even on smaller daily amounts than they were getting with other brands. I originally switched to Victor Dog Food for a Black German Shepherd puppy which unfortunately did not come from what I thought was a reputable breeder. She had to be euthanized less than a week after I got her. That being said, at the I am very pleased with Victor Hero Grain Free dog food.

What was a huge loss for myself (emotionally and monetarily) was a huge gain for my current dogs by these series of events. I would also like to thank Chewy.com for their compassion and thoughtfulness at a very difficult time by refunding me for the Puppy food which I then was able to donate. … more

This food has the highest amount of glucosamine and chondroitin in it compared to other foods and it is very affordable for the amount of food you get. I have tried many different kinds of food but I keep coming back to this one because I can't find any other food which seems to help my male German Shepherd with his severe hip and elbow dysplasia and his hip replacement. Thank you Victor for making a cost effective food that helps our boy!!

Our 1.5 year old German shepherd has been on this for about 3 months now and loving it. We got it for the joint supplements to give us a peace a mind as he grows up. So far he eagerly eats it every day and produces good focal matter. Our pup is able to maintain a healthy weight and shiny coat. Overall I would definitely recommend this food for someone looking to start adding joint protection to their pups' diet.

This is a quality food. I feed this to my Belgian Malinois personal protection dog, and it helps keep him to be a lean, mean, biting machine. I felt the price on the site was a little high compared to my local dealer, but the convenience of home delivery leveled out the cost.

One of my dogs has to have grain free food due to an allergy to grain mites. Since all four of my dogs eat together, I have to have something they will all like. This food meets that need. The fact that it is good for their joints is an extra benefit as they range in age from eight to seventeen.

My 4.5 month old working line GSD bounces off the walls for Victor Hero Canine. I feed this to him in increments, as this food is high in protein for his age. Having the joint supplements in it come in clutch, as well as how shiny my dogs coat is. Will always recommend Victor.
