22 Victor Dog Food Recipes Compared

Last Updated: Apr 26, 2023

Victor Pet Food has been around as a company since 2007, and their brand has a spotless track record when it comes to recalls. Despite this, Victor is still a lesser-known name in the pet food industry. Today, we want to spotlight this Texas-based brand in our Victor Dog Food Review and tell you everything you need to know if you’re thinking about making a switch.

Victor Pet Food began as the Mid-America Pet Food company in 2007. Mid America is currently known as the manufacturer of Nature’s Logic pet foods.

A family-owned company, Mid America Pet Foods focused on supporting local businesses by sourcing around 80% of the ingredients they used in Victor from within a 200-mile radius of their East Texas facility. In 2014, Mid America Pet Foods were acquired by Trinity Hunt Partners equity firm. However, this had no effect on the production of their foods.

100% of Victor's dog food is manufactured in the Mid-America Pet Food plant in Mount Pleasant, Texas. In recent years, the manufacturing plant expanded to accommodate a second production line to keep up with increasing demand.

Victor dog food offers high-quality nutrition without many of the typical commercial fillers used by big-name companies. What is most surprising about Victor, however, is that even without filler ingredients, they manage to keep their prices well below average. As you'll learn in this Victor Dog Food review, their lines are all corn, wheat, gluten, and soy free, and most are also made with no GMO’s.

Pros and Cons of Victor Dog Food

Some of the benefits we want to be sure to mention in this Victor dog food review include:

No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
High protein food formulas.
High levels of omega fatty acids.
Prebiotics make Victor foods healthier for the digestive system.

Most formulas are GMO-free.

Con’s

Some of the drawbacks that should also be included in this Victor dog food review are:

Availability is not as widespread as some of the more inferior commercial pet food brands.
Tomato pomace in some of their dry foods is viewed as filler by many critics.
Peas and alfalfa meals in addition to animal meat products contribute to the protein level of some of the dry foods. These are less desirable protein sources.
As of 2017, Victor does not offer any dehydrated, freeze-dried, or partial raw foods.

As previously mentioned, dog food recalls are important to pay attention to, and Victor brand dog food has had no recalls of their food. It should also be noted that Nature’s Logic (another brand manufactured by Mid America Pet Foods) has also never had a recall.

Victor brand dog food is sold via independent retailers and cannot be found on the shelves of most big-name pet superstores. Victor can be found in larger name feed stores, however, and specialty pet food stores as well as through online retailers.

We've listed the ingredients to all of the formulas noted in his Victor dog food review so that you can see exactly what is in each formula.

Although the multi-grain and select protein lines of Victor foods are slightly inferior to their grain-free and wet food lines, all of Victor’s dog food options offer high levels of nutrition and outrank most big-name commercial foods. While we have covered a lot in this Victor dog food review, you should do research on your own if you have any questions. Be sure to have a conversation with your veterinarian before switching your dog's diet.
