Ingredient Review

Our review of VICTOR Select Chicken Meal & Brown Rice Formula Dry Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Chicken Meal. In pet food, chicken meal is often listed as a source of protein. Chicken meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken meat and skin. As a dry form of animal protein, it is most often found in kibble and treats.

The second ingredient is Grain Sorghum. Grain sorghum is a gluten-free grain from the sorghum plant. In pet food, grain sorghum can serve as a source of dietary fiber, antioxidants, iron, zinc, and vitamins B1 and B2.

The third ingredient is Peas. Pea is a general term to describe whole, split, or milled peas, which are a grain-free, gluten-free source of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. In pet food, pea products serve as an energy source as well as a supplementary source of vitamins and minerals.

The fourth ingredient is Whole Grain Millet. Whole grain millet is a gluten-free cereal grain that finds its way into a variety of products ranging from baked goods to birdseed. In pet food, whole grain millet can be a source of carbohydrates, amino acids, fiber, B vitamins, and other nutrients.

The fifth ingredient is Whole Grain Brown Rice. Whole grain brown rice is rice that ha simply had its protective hull removed, but that has not been polished to remove the fibrous outer layer. The whole grain brown rice in pet food can be a source of carbohydrates and fiber. Brown rice also contains omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.

When we analyzed the ingredients in VICTOR Select Chicken Meal & Brown Rice Formula Dry Dog Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.

Nutritional Analysis

Your adult dog needs a balance of macro and micronutrients to thrive. A food formulated for adult maintenance or all life stages is made to meet these needs. While there can be a lot of variation in actual calorie density, adult dog foods are generally intended to provide for basic calorie needs of the average active dog. In addition to satisfying their energy needs, these foods provide the protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and other nutrients your adult dog needs to survive. Again, not all adult foods are the same, so you may have to search around for the right fit for your dog.
