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.

Earlier in the year my 7 year old labs started to get really goopy eyes, so I have been on a journey to find a different food for them - I have done my own research and have gotten input from multiple Chewy experts. 5 foods later and I am still looking. Dr. Tim's took care of the goopy eyes but they have had really soft stools, diarrhea that is messy to clean up on our city walks. I contacted Dr. Tim's and Dr. Tim himself replied and recommended feedback them less. I did that but have not seen an improvement. The prior food I had tried was Avoderm's Grain Free Salmon Meal and Potato which was the only food that improved both the goopy eyes and the soft stools but right after I started feeding Earlier in the year my 7 year old labs started to get really goopy eyes, so I have been on a journey to find a different food for them - I have done my own research and have gotten input from multiple Chewy experts. 5 foods later and I am still looking.

The two weeks my labs were on the food, I did notice my chocolate lab seemed more lethargic so hesitant to continue with this one. So still on a mission to find one that addresses both issues. … more

I have two dogs, a Jack Russell (4 yrs) with food sensitivities and a Brittney Spaniel (1 1/2 yrs) who has a huge appetite. They are both high energy dogs. They both really like this food. They have been on this now for 6 weeks with no problems. My Jack has had nothing but issues with food for several years now. For the last 6 weeks he asks to be fed, runs to his crate with excitement for food. Their coats are soft and healthy. And their energy levels are endless. I would recommend Dr. Tim's food. There are many formulas. One may work for you. Worth the cost!!!!!!

While Dr. Tim's food comes highly recommended (5stars)by Dog Food Advisor.com, my dog eats it but not before making it clear he's less than enthusiastic about it. That being said, my dog turns his nose up at dog food in general, canned or dry. In order for him to eat his dog food, I must garnish it sufficiently with human grade chicken, fish, cheese or an assortment....sigh!

I have 8 dogs.... and it's like feeding 8 toddlers. Had such a hard time finding a food they all will eat until now!! Let me tell you, high protein and meat based kibble. 70.00 for 40lbs cannot beat it! All are eating it and I'm so happy!

My dog is a picky eater AND has several food allergies. After researching foods online, this dog food “appeared” to be safe but it’s hard to tell. When we got the bag and gave her a “tiny” bit, she gobbled it right down. This never happens. We usually have to coax her into eating. I was optimistic, but still hesitant. After transitioning her to the new food, I can honestly say Dr Tim’s has given us “a new dog”. She wakes up in the morning wanting to eat. This has never happened in the 4 years that we’ve had her. I am super excited for her! Thank you!

I have tried a lot of different foods, from the lowest quality, to the most expensive and highest quality, over many years of pet ownership, and I have never had a food that everyone loved so much. Our very picky cats even try to get into the bag! The ingredients aren't anything special, but they work well and must taste very good. My dogs look incredible, their stools are small, I get to feed less food, it's a win. My very hard to put weight on male Doberman is actually putting weight on while eating less than higher calorie Victor dog food. I'm so pleased.

They changed the packaging and the morsels are smaller now. That doesn't seem like a problem but my dog has been having digestive problems and bad breath ever since switching to this new version over a month ago. They used to use whole oat groats and now it's oat flour. Who knows what else is different.

My seven year old Llewelyn has been on Pursuit (and Momentum during bird hunting season) since she was brought home from her breeders. She has stayed at a perfect weight, is active and healthy and never turns her nose up at her bowl of food! Thank you for developing such a great food for my very active canine.

If you and your dog are both active you both need the proper diet to maintain top condition. Pursuit will help your dog have the energy to stay active and healthy with you while keeping lean muscle and proper nutrition.

Yet another different bag of Dr. Tim's food I've tried and the dogs love it. Never disappointed with this brand since my switch from Orijen.
