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.

Dr. Tims was the successful end to my pursuit for a healthy food for my field golden retriever. Like most, he ate Purine Pro Plan Sport because of the lack of good 30/20 foods on the market. Enter Dr Tim and his sled dogs. He too wanted better. Add a Vet nutritionist (Ph.D.) and a line of high powered foods is on the market today with known sources of protein, unique grains, vitamin packed and better yet-contains Taurine (deals with DMC Cardiomyopathy). In all, my golden looks great and has tons of energy. And I can sleep at night because I KNOW what he is eating good stuff. Not so with Pro Plan.

I have a police K9 that seemed to develop an allergy to his food (big corporate name food). On advice of vet decided to change foods. After quite a bit of research (mainly looking at unnecessary fillers) I started this food in January (4 months ago). I was afraid my department would have a problem with the price ($75 versus $45), but they haven't. Noted several things since starting this food- went from 6 cups a day to 4 cups and he gained 8 pounds in 3 months- so have backed off to 3 1/2 cups a day (40 lb bag versus 37 lb bag- not much price difference now when feeding 1/2 as much). Digestive problems have gone away!!! Fringe benefit- his coat is and smoother, softer, and shedding is practically I have a police K9 that seemed to develop an allergy to his food (big corporate name food).

I've heard advertisements of less shedding, never believed them, but it's true. I can hardly get anything out of him when brushing, even with the furminator immediately after a bath. Highly recommend trying this food- but watch your dogs weight!!! … more

This is the second variety I've tried from Dr. Tim's, and it is really great also. I have large dogs and their stool size is cut in half on this food compared to Victor. I love Dr. Tim's foods and I honestly can say I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't order it from chewy since its not available locally.

In my opinion this is one of the best dog foods out there, given the high quality ingredients and protein ratio. My Brittany loves it, and has developed a more muscular stature since I switched him to this.

This food has two different Dr Tim's Kibble. My guess is a blend of Momentum and one of the Kinesis or Pursuit varieties. I have always mixed my dog food to strive for the protein to fat ratio that best suits my dog. The 32/22 formula seems to be working well. I have a fussy Chessie who eats rather lightly for his size. He looks great, keeps his weight, and has plenty of reserve energy on this food. Hopefully this will be the end of purchasing two different varieties....so far..so good!

I have been training, hunting and competing in the field with retrievers for 30 + years, and have fed many of the top dog foods on the market. I can say my dogs have never looked or run better than they do now. I have been feeding Dr Tim's for two years now and believe it is the best thing I could feed.

I feed this formula to my young GSP who typically is not a good eater and therefore has trouble maintaining weight. She loves this food and for the first time in a year and a half, she looks great! I HIGHLY recommend!

If your Canine needs a performance food but don't want the typical chicken formula this is a great option.
