Not published by Victor
Victor does not publish an ingredient list for this recipe in a form we can capture. We do not transcribe ingredient lists from retailers or third-party databases: they go stale silently when a recipe changes, and a stale ingredient list is worse than none.
“VICTOR Grain Free Yukon River Canine for Dogs is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages, including growth of large size dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult).”
Quoted verbatim from Victor's published label data, and not scored.
The two wordings are different claims. Formulated to meet means the recipe was matched to an AAFCO nutrient profile on paper. Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate means the finished food was fed to dogs under a defined protocol — a minimum of eight dogs over twenty-six weeks. Both are legal standards of adequacy; only one involved dogs, and neither is a statement about ingredient quality. We quote whichever appears verbatim, and weight it in the score above: 20 points for a feeding trial, 12 for a formulation claim.
The feeding calculator turns this food's published calorie density into a daily portion for a given weight. The cost tool converts whatever you actually pay into a cost per 1,000 kcal, which is the only way to compare a subscription box against a bag.
Same format, nearest protein on a dry-matter basis. One food per brand, and this recipe's own brand is held back so the comparison actually crosses a brand line.

Victor: owner, recall record and every food we track
Everything above, as one square you can save or send. It is generated from this page's own figures, so it cannot drift from them, and it is ours to publish — no manufacturer supplied it and none can withdraw it.
Manufacturers reformulate without announcing it, and a website can lag a bag by months. The panel on the pack in your hand outranks this page; where the two disagree, the pack is right and we want to know.
