About Dr. Tim's Dog Food

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.

Questions & Answers

9 Customer Questions


Why do you show a 40lb bag in the photo, but only 5 and 15 lb. bags are available?

Answer by MickFeb 01, 2023
You are looking at the wrong photo. You are probably looking at the photo of the Kinesis line in the blue bag. The photo at the top of the page does not show the weights.

Is the kibble size suitable for toy and small breed dogs?

Answer by ChewyJan 12, 2020
This food is formulated for dog breeds of all sizes.

Is this grain free?

Answer by ChewyOct 18, 2021
This recipe contains grain. Though technically a seed, Quinoa is classified as a whole grain and is a good source of plant protein and fiber. For a complete list of ingredients and the guaranteed analysis, click the “Nutritional Info” tab on the product page.

Will my dog require less of this food than she gets of her current food in order to maintain her current weight considering the higher protein and Kcals?

Answer by ChewyFeb 18, 2021
Since this is a nutrient-rich kibble, the amount required to feed your pet per Dr. Tim's feeding instructions is often less than what you were feeding. We recommend you consult with your veterinarian on your pet(s) individual needs. Always feed to maintain ideal body condition. Adjust individual amount as needed considering activity level, environment and age. It’s best to feed Heirloom Ancient Grains Fish Formula twice daily, so give half the following amounts per feeding.

Great product

This food is great, but I have found it several times to be out of stock. Probably because of the very limited ingredients for dogs prone to allergies, like MINE!!

This food is great, but I have found it several times to be out of stock. Probably because of the very limited ingredients for dogs prone to allergies, like MINE!! So I like to flip flop dog food with another brand that is limited ingredients. That way my dogs are adjusted to both brands.

No Oats

This seems like a quality product. That is fortunate because it’s one of the few complete foods (foods with grains) that doesn’t have oats. With my pal being allergic

This seems like a quality product. That is fortunate because it’s one of the few complete foods (foods with grains) that doesn’t have oats. With my pal being allergic to oats food was challenging. Cooking for him was ok, but not always convenient. In my absence I doubt pet sitters would cook. Very glad we found this and he likes it

love this dog food!

I’ve been using Dr. Tim’s dog food for my toy poodle since I got him. He’s a healthy 4 1/2 yr old & haven’t had any problems with recalls. I use this dog food brand

I’ve been using Dr. Tim’s dog food for my toy poodle since I got him. He’s a healthy 4 1/2 yr old & haven’t had any problems with recalls. I use this dog food brand because they use a very long clean track record facility that’s had zero recalls since it’s production began. High quality standard practices & good quality ingredients make a happy, healthy fur baby.

great food

BUT not worth the problems getting it. Ive used this food for years and at least 5 times it was unavailable and I had to switch my sensitive stomach dog to another

One happy pup

We switched to this due to some food allergies and he absolutely loves it. During the transition he would root around to eat Dr Tims and leave the other food behind

Dogs were not impressed. Kibble is kibble no matter what ingredients you make it with.
