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.

We researched for the highest rated grain-free dog food for quality ingredients that didn't have unhealthy fillers, etc. Victor Hero Grain-Free Dry food was highly rated. We slowly switched our dog over to this so he wouldn't get a stomach ache. Dogs don't always like new dog food, but our Samoyed is eating it now and loving it. Ever since we switched to this brand, he has been running and getting up and down sooo much better. I also liked the very quick shipping by Chewy. I couldn't believe how fast it got here. It was our first order from this company, and I'm pretty pleased.

I have a lab that eats anything. Veggies, fruit, most kibble, even raw spinach. Offered this to him because of recommendations...he wouldn’t even touch it. To say I’m shocked is an understatement. I gave it three stars because I’m going to offer it again and see if he changes his mind. He’s NEVER turned his nose up to ANY food. I do find that for his big mouth, the kibble is way too small. I’m so glad I ordered the small bag. My 50 lb mixed girl loved it though. Would be nice to have both on the same food.

When researching a high quality kibble I was introduced to this dog food by a local health food pet store. The company owns their own factory and to me that is huge. No recalls in their history that I could find. This food is also 5 stars on dog food advisor. My GSD has been on it from 7 weeks, he had terrible stools on SD large breed puppy and wouldn't gain weight. Now he's a proper weight and has a glowing coat!

I had originally started my dog on a raw only diet but she struggled with loose stool and dry, flaky skin. I did a lot of research and found this at my local feed store. My dog's skin issues and stool cleared up within the first two meals. Now she has a shine to her coat and no longer seems to be affected by enviornmental allergies. I would buy from chewy, but it is much cheaper at my local store. I just had to leave a review though as this food has changed my dogs life!

First day she barely had gotten a taste and my year old GSD mix is already obsessed with it. I even used the kibble as training treats as I ran out of those today. I learned about this brand from a YouTuber called "German Shepherd Man". He recommended the brand because of the great ingredients and high glucosamine for healthy joints (something a shepherd needs). I'm looking forward to seeing how this switch from her puppy food to this affects her.

After going through several varieties of dry food, I read reviews of others touting the 'Hero' by Victor. My GSD & English Bulldog love the food and so it is. High energy, no gas, solid relatively compact stools, great shiny coats, I could go on.... Highly recommend this food.

I have a large cattle dog mix. She had a injury to her hip when she was about two years old. She likes to be very active. She used to be in pain a lot especially after she was active . Eight years ago we switched my dogs to this food because they could not stomach the plan they were on before .I believe because of this food she is still with me. She is now 16 years old and 76 pounds a happy pup. Thank you for all the extra years and more to come.

Ok so when my babies are healthy & happy, I am too! I transitioned my mixed babies, a 50lb pit/boxer/lab & 15lb beagle/terrier from blue buffalo to victor hero. They both gobble it up! No upset tummies, stool issues. Their eyes are bright/alert, coat is soft and shiny, no weight loss and energy level remains high. Woof, woof!!

For my Doberman Pinscher I will only give her the best (due to all the common health problems they have). Not only does this food nourish her, but she loves it and I love the size (to slow down her eating to prevent bloat) and her coat is so shiny!!! I will continue to have this food auto shipped!

Meat based, grain free, and it has glucosamine for joint health. My dog has done great on this kibble and the added joint supplement in the food is an added bonus. Victor is a great company that makes quality dog food at an affordable price.
