VICTOR Purpose Senior Healthy Weight Dry Dog Food

I read some reviews for weight loss dog foods, and this was rated as a great value option for quality/price. Unfortunately, my dog thinks it's a pure insult to her refined palate, and refuses to eat it unless I mix in some plain yogurt and a little bone broth. She may inadvertently have lost some weight on it, but only because she is eating less of it. Obviously everyone's dog is different, but my dog has never refused to eat something before, so it seems likely that it's not just a super fussy dog thing.

I recently switched over to Victor Senior Healthy Weight dog food. I ordered a 40 lb bag from Chewy which came quickly and on time. As I was bringing the bag into my basement I heard a few pieces of dog food hit the floor. When I examined the bag I noticed a slit in the back of the bag about 1 inch long. I had to transferred half the 40 lbs of new food into the dog food bag I had just used up and then duck taped the slit in the new bag. Glad I kept the old bag around.

My 12yo Husky, Hunter, was beginning to show signs of arthritis and lethargy. My wife and I had him on another premium adult formula but it did not seem to be doing him any good. A couple months ago he began having bad diarrhea at night and seemingly could not hold his bladder or bowels anymore. I began to fear that he was not going to be with us much longer, but before setting up a vet visit I decided to try changing his food. After comparing many different brands online I discovered Victor and this recipe. Within the first 24-48 hours Hunter began showing signs of energy and was no longer having issues at night. Two months in and his weight has leveled out, his energy is better than ever, and My 12yo Husky, Hunter, was beginning to show signs of arthritis and lethargy.

This will be his food for the remainder of his years, and we are now feeding another Victor recipe to our 6yo Australian shepherd mix...and they both absolutely love it!!! … more

My dog sensed a package and he waited for me to open it. I opened the new dog food and right away he ate it and wanted more. He loves this food, I have been gradually adding this one to his Earthborn food and he his eating his food again. This senior dog food seems to have more flavor than his Earthborn.

Our vet recommended that we switch to a Senior dog food to assist my 8 year old dog with weight loss. My dog ate the previous dry food we had been feeding her but sometimes it would sit for a while before she was interested in it. Now twice a day she is excited to eat so I can tell that she really likes this new food and I think she looks a little slimmer as well.

Both of my dogs like it but I really needed to see if it helped with lowering the weight our Bulldog ...he doesn't get the workout I would like but it looks like the food is making a bit of difference.. I am seeing a bit of a waist line . My babies are like my children..so it's important to me.

Chewy is always amazing with deliveries. I orders are usually delivered within 2 days. Victor makes excellent dog food. Our great Pyrenees, and our golden pyr both love the Victor brand food. Our Golden Pry needs to lose a few pounds due to having FHO hip surgery a few months ago. I have noticed a small weight loss but I am not sure if it is from the food or his increased exercise. He goggles it down and licks his bowl clean at meal time. Great food.

I first found Victor years ago when my 4 yr old fawn Doberman was battling many health issues- alopecia, sensitive stomach, hives, finicky appetite, etc. After a whopping 38 samples of dog food (bless McCoy's Feed in Locust NC!), we finally got him to eat and not throw up this particular version. After the first week, his hives were gone and he hadn't thrown up once. Nine months later and his hair finally grew in so he had hackles to raise at the pizza delivery guy! Now we are trying this for my two Greyhounds- one senior and overweight and the other with an extremely sensitive stomach. So far, so good!

I only ordered this yesterday and received it today so the shipping from Chewy is spectacular! As soon as I opened the bag my poor old little pudgy lady was gobbling up some of the kibbles I laid on the floor for her so I decided to give her about a half a cup to tide her over until dinner time. She gobbled it up straight away. That is a win in my book! Now if she loses a bit of weight and eases the pain in her hips and joints, it will be a win win! I have high hopes! Thanks Chewy!

giving 4 stars because i thought i would have a fight on my hands to get them to adjust to it. but, surprisingly, they didn't miss a beat. the first week they acted like they were still hungry after cleaning their bowls (they free eat) because i was following the suggested amounts. but, after the first week they seem sated with the amount. still haven't seen much weight loss. i got the huge bag because that was all that was available at the time so still have a couple of weeks left of it. if no weight loss may hunt around for higher protein/less fat than victors but that would be the only reason i would switch to another.
