"We were feeding Victor Hi Pro, but it wasn't going to be available for our next autoship, so I tried this food. The dogs really like it and it is giving us the same benefits as the Hi-Pro. We've been pleased with Victor."

— Deidre

"Unfortunately, my dog refuses to eat this dog food. I bought this kind because he stopped eating the other Victor food we had been buying. Not sure if it's a bad batch or what, but I won't be buying Victor again."

Bottom Line

Given the frequency of complaints about recent batches and the issues with product consistency, it may be best to consider alternative dog food options.
