We use duralife for our 6 dogs , we used to feed them the loyal but they changed the formula and some of the dogs did not like it. So we started buying other brands trying to find one all the dogs would eat, and duralife was it. It made somewhere in Minnesota, that about all I know about it.

I feed Victor too! I feed the one in the purple bag, Victor Professional Formula.

" Like all super-premium Victor formulas, Professional Formula is free of corn, wheat, soy and gluten as well as processed grain by-products. The result is a highly digestible food that requires less food intake to meet energy demands and yields minimal stool volume."

It lasts my 2 dogs a good month or more. My older dog Blue is 10 this year. She gets around and acts much better since switching to this feed.
sounds like the low resdue food they no longer make I need to look in to Victor

My husband got to griping about the cost of the dog food, so we switched to the cheap stuff. The dogs liked it, ate it and pooped elephant turds. Big stinky piles of poop all over the place. Husband decided the Victor was the better buy. Little poop piles that maybe don't smell like roses, but they don't draw buzzards either. Since our Great Pyrenees marks everything that belongs to him-including our vehicles with a complimentary pile of poop, having a small poop pile at the driver's door is much preferred to a smelly poop pile the size of a #3 washtub. Yeah, I like the Victor dog food!

Chewy.com now carries Victor

I agree Bay. Also I find that the dogs don't need as much of the Victor as regular dog food. In fact, I have to keep an eye on Jack. Between the Victor and his snacks he catches, he'll get fat real quick!

I feed the cheapy stuff and never see these big piles of poop folks talk about. Just regular sized turds, not too big and no excessive smells. Maybe it's the amount fed that causes those giant poops?

I don't allow the dogs to poop just anywhere...they have to poop out in the woods or near the edge of the woods, so even if the piles WERE big, I wouldn't be stepping in them.

I must have had hillbilly dogs all my life...I never had a dog turn down ANY kind of food. If they did, they'd be mighty hungry by the time I'd switch up feed on them, as I offer no alternatives.

dogs are pack animals, will eat what the rest of the pack is eating (for humans replace "pack" with "culture" :) )... we hardly ever gave people food to pets (wasn't usually enough of it) and trained pets to never beg for food at the table or any other place.

I had a client that was shipping her dog food from Italy. It was the food her breeder told her to feed. I said your breeder thinks you have to much money. She is out of her mind if she can not find a food she likes in this country.
