Always feed to maintain ideal body condition. Adjust individual amount as needed considering activity level, environment and age. It’s best to feed Pursuit twice daily, so give half the following amounts per feeding. Always have fresh water available. Not for human consumption.
Dr. Tim's Pursuit Active Dog Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages except for growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult).
Based on their metabolism and activity levels, puppies, pregnant and lactating bitches may need up to 75% more and senior dogs may need 25% less than the guidelines.
Start out by feeding 25% Best Breed the first three days 50% the next four days and 75% the remaining three days. If you do not have enough of the old food left to do a full 10 days, just shorten the duration down to whatever you can do.
Premium All-Natural Pet Foods and Treats
Dr. Tim's offers honest, nutritionally sound kibble, wet foods, dietary supplements and freeze-dried treats designed for every life stage. The high-quality ingredients include low-ash protein along with the right blend of carbohydrates, fats and fibers to allow your pet to lead a healthy life.
Foods Made to Match Your Pet
When shopping for Dr. Tim's pet foods, you'll notice the labeling indicates an activity level. That's because they're made to complement your pet's lifestyle, with ideal ratios of protein, fat, carbohydrates and fibers to help her thrive. You'll find recipes that are specially formulated for active pets, low-key pets, extreme athletes and those in need of weight management.
ACTIVE: This food is designed for the sporting dog that's active more days than not—dogs who hunt or jog every day, herding dogs, police dogs and the like. It's made for maximum digestion, an important consideration for these dogs that's often overlooked. Protein types and levels, fat types and levels, and fiber sources are formulated to maximize performance and recovery.
CASUAL LIFESTYLE: This is a diet intended for the dog who lives a normal lifestyle—sleeping on the couch, running around the backyard or going on car rides, walks or hikes and basically just living the good life. The only regular exercise she might get is tail wagging when she sees you at the end of the day, or some loving nose nudges.
EXTREME ATHLETES: This food is for dogs who are serious about working nearly every day for long periods of time, such as sled dogs and dogs who hunt most days of the season. It's extremely high in fat, high in protein and low in carbs, with the highest levels of essential omega-3 fatty acids and loads of antioxidants. Performance, endurance and recovery are all enhanced.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT: This diet is intended for the dog who has put on some extra weight. High protein allows your overweight dog to be more active, and moderate fat allows her to feel satiated so she doesn't beg—an essential part of the equation. The omega-3 and antioxidant profiles help reduce the inflammatory stress that's prevalent in an overweight dog, too.
Treats That Deliver
Dr. Tim's freeze-dried treats are formulated for both cats and dogs—perfect for multipet households. They're made from 100% real, USDA-inspected meats from Wisconsin. And since they're freeze-dried, you can give your pet all the nutrition and flavor of raw meat without any of the mess or inconvenience.
Top It Off With Nutrition
Dr. Tim's Flavor Booster is made of 100% real, USDA-inspected beef liver powder from Wisconsin that is freeze-dried to maintain more nutrients. It's perfect for use as a food topper to encourage pets to eat and enjoy their meals, which makes it a great choice for finicky dogs or those who are ill or tired of the same formula.
About Dr. Tim's
As a veterinarian and accomplished musher, Dr. Tim Hunt understood his dogs' need for a food that promotes stamina, endurance and performance through proper digestion. Armed with a cement mixer, a cache of ideas, and an aversion for other diets on the market, Dr. Tim took to his Michigan garage on a mission to formulate a food that replicated a natural, wild diet for his Alaskan Huskies. Today, Dr. Tim's focus has since expanded to bring an honest, nutritionally sound food—sourced only from North America's highest quality ingredients—to every dog.

HuskyJax and possible overfeeding
By DrTim on Jan 25, 2021
HuskyJax, you had mentioned in your 1 star review your dog had soft stools close to almost being diarrhea. In my experience with change overs from other foods it can be very easy to overfeed the Pursuit if you are using the same volume of food versus the weight. Pursuit is denser and has more calories than some foods so using equal volumes can easily lead to overfeeding and the dogs cannot digest too much kibble. They will eat it but often it will escape the digestive process because too much food speeds up the transit time of the food through the intestinal tract and is then sent to the colon. There, this undigested food will pull water and lead to diarrhea and/or soft stools. So, what HuskyJax, you had mentioned in your 1 star review your dog had soft stools close to almost being diarrhea.

There, this undigested food will pull water and lead to diarrhea and/or soft stools. So, what I try to convey is to go easy when transitioning and feed less than you have been and slowly increase the amount fed to maintain solid stools and good weight. Sorry the food didn't work out for you. I think the food smells good, personally. Dr Tim … more

dogs Love it
By Jen1971 on Feb 2, 2021
I bought this food because of the 5 star recommendation on Dog Food Advisor. I also like that it incorporates whole grain. I believe dogs need grain as well as meat in their diet! I used Nulo Raw as a topper and they both absolutely loved it!

Great pet food
By Gemma on Jan 19, 2021
My English setter, a Llewelyn has been on Dr. Tim’s Pursuit dog food since she was a puppy, over ten years ago. She is a very active dog and thrives on this food. She has been very healthy. Her white and spotted fur coat is shiny!! I highly recommend this product.

wonderful service
By Kris on Oct 19, 2020
I received a bag of Dr Tim's in my auto ship that was set to expire in two weeks, which would not work for my small, picky eater :) I contacted Chewy and asked for a resolution, and offered to donate the bag to a local rescue/spca... within two days, I received another bag with a good long expiration... shows such wonderful customer service, and I felt so happy to help out a local rescue with the other bag too.. thank you so much Chewy staff!!!!!'

Love the food
By Edward on Nov 14, 2020
We have 2 Brittany’s and about a year ago we switched to Dr Tim’s Pursuit and they love it. Before they would be a little picky about the food and now they can’t wait for it. Very happy with the dog food and I would highly recommend it.

cheap bag? Not sure if dogs like.
By deew on May 31, 2020
I bought this twice, assuming dogs liked. Recently, I did a test with three kinds of kibble and this was not their favorite. But what will also cause me never to buy again is that I bought these very large bags and this second time (don't recall with first), the seams to the bag opened up in two places (sides, not top), meaning any manipulation of bag caused kibble to fall out all over. With the expense, would think this wouldn't be the case. I gave 3 stars because can't say it's not good food but I won't buy it again.

Dr. Tim's Active Dog Pursuit Formula Dry Dog Food
By EllenP on Jul 2, 2020
My dogs seem to like the taste but as they are small, I have to smash this kibble into smaller pieces. It would be nice to have this food in a smaller kibble for small dogs and also a variety of weights.

Disappointed
By HuskyJax on May 11, 2020
I had my dog on the All Life Stages dog food and he was doing really well with it from the beginning. I decided to switch it up a bit since he is a pretty active dog and he barely gets near the food. He only eats once a day and not twice. His stools are super loose and close to diarrhea. And my god the smell of the actual dog food makes me nauseous.
