What to Feed your Dog

What to Feed Your Dog
WHEN ANTOINE ALBIN decided he wanted a better dog food for his house dogs and his hunting dogs, he didn’t
have to go far to do some major research and development. As the president of a nearly 70-year-old “large
animal” nutrition company in Mount Pleasant, Texas, he put his crew of experienced nutritional scientists to
work gathering all the information available on new and proven advancements in canine nutrition. The result is today’s Victor Dog Food.“What’s special about Victor Dog Food?” Albin has been asked. “Well, for one thing, when we did our research in developing our dog food formulas, we carefully examined the main products of all the major dog food brands to see
what made them successful,” he recalls.
“We found several significant features of the best and most popular dog foods  and we followed their lead.”
For example, most all the major makers have increased the quality and quantity of protein in their products
by including more real meat as the main protein source. “So, we started with this by including real beef, chicken,
lamb, and ish as our own protein base,” Albin notes. “Then we went one step further by eliminating the popular
grains such as corn, soy, and wheat along with gluten.
“Next, we added our own special ‘pre-mix’ which is a combination of high potency vitamins and minerals
combined with our own special blend of selenium yeast, prebiotics, and probiotics, all of which combine to ensure
efficient metabolic functions, cellular regeneration, and a strong immune response.”

CORE INGREDIENTS
These components became the “core ingredients” that go into all the formulas of Victor dog
food. Victor’s “complex minerals” are easily absorbed by the canine digestive system into the bloodstream. These
essential complex minerals (zinc, manganese and iron) then work on the cellular level to promote efficient metabolic
function and support a healthy coat and skin, paw pad integrity, and a strong immune system. Complex minerals also
support wound healing, cell division, and synthesis functions all necessary for skeletal growth, joint cartilage health, and reproductive system integrity. Victor’s “selenium yeast” is easily absorbed, stored and used in the body and offers essential metabolism, cellularregeneration, and immune response support. All Victor formulas contain selenium yeast as their sole source of
selenium which can be absorbed in the bloodstream and is stored in cells for use during times of stress.
Victor’s blend of “prebiotics” (labeled as HydrolyzedYeast) promotes a healthy digestive system and works in concert
with other nutrients to support immune defense systems. Made from the rich outer layer of the yeast cell, pathogenic
bacteria act as prebiotics that naturally attracts and attach to the unique shape of yeast fractions floating in the digestive
systems. They are then harmlessly lushed through and out of a dog’s digestive system.
Victor’s blend of “probiotics” contain beneficial metabolites that directly feed good digestive bacteria and support a
healthy digestion as well as a strong immune system, both of which are vital for good health and longevity.
“Though these ‘core ingredients’ are in all our types of Victor dog foods, we do know that many dogs need special
nutritional components to satisfy vidual nutritional requirements.
Consequently, we have 17 unique ‘Formulas’ or recipes for canines of any breed, size, age, physical condition, and lifestyle,”
Albin says.
How does a dog owner decide what formula is best for an individual dog? “Well, there is complete information
on our website (victorpetfoods.com) for each of our products,” Albin says.
“And if there is a need for more insights, just call our team of experts who can supply more guidelines for making the
best choice. Our product information staff is available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. five days a week from Monday to Friday
at 888 428 7544.” How big is the Victor Dog Food Plant in Mount Pleasant, Texas? “We have a new building in which every phase of manufacturing our products takes place,
from processing to packaging to distributing,” Albin explains. “There are 120 full-time employees who work in
all levels of our operation.” How does a prospective customer in a Victor Dog Food retailer? “Look
