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.

wonderful service
By Herby 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!!!!!'

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 ELEANOR 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.

Great Food
By Dani on May 17, 2020
I’ve been using this food for a couple months on my hyper corgi pup and I’m really happy with it. My boy does great on it and LOVES the taste. His coat is shiny and his poops are firm. I recommend this for dogs who are fairly active or growing.

Softer coat, smaller stools
By puppylove on Apr 9, 2020
Within a few weeks on this new food, my dogs' coats are softer and shinier and their stools are a bit smaller, which is always great, right? I have an 85# Rhodesian ridgeback and a 90# Doberman mix to feed and it can be pricey! Great value for money as the price for a 40lb bag is comparable to similar high-quality brands' 25lb bag.

Great Dog Food
By BobThor on Jan 31, 2020
My two boys devour this stuff. Both are very active sportng dogs and when I feef them they both are done eating in about 2 minutes and licking their bowls. I used to feed them Wellness grain free food, but wanted to add some grain back into their diet because of the concern with DCM. This food has not only done that but also shown other benefits. Energy has increased, playfulness increased, and their coats look more shiney. Overall very happy with this food and the bag rolls down and stays rolled for a great seal. It's also micro perforated to keep the dog food from developing mold which is awesome. Highly recommend. I'll be sticking with this food. Plus it has a Brittany on the bag.

seems great so far!
By Shiney on Feb 9, 2020
I heard great things about this food, and I’ve been wanting to switch my girls food for a while. Before I even had the bag open, she was excited! While I was filling up the food bin, she kept trying to get into the bag! As soon as I turned my back her head was in the bin and she was munching away! As far as her liking it, it’s definitely an A+. Hopefully this food does good for her!

Fantastic food!
By AnimalPal23 on Jan 20, 2020
This food is really good for dogs. It is made by a veterinarian that is experienced in dog sports. It is great quality and my dog loves it as well (and he is picky). Good protein and fat levels for dogs that are more active compared to many foods on the market and the ingredients are really awesome too! So glad I made this purchase. Also, if you need to ask a question, Dr. Tim will often answer your personally, which is fantastic!
