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.

Great food
By Tyler on Mar 17, 2021
My dog has always had a hard time with a solid poop. This food made excellent poops and kept weight on my dog even in the middle of bird hunting season running 25 miles a day. It is totally worth it when you need a stick of butter in a bag. My dog eats every brand of food good for a week then becomes picky. This stuff was like a drug, he couldn’t get enough. I stopped feeding it because it’s a little extreme for the off season but he’ll definitely be on it again this fall.

Broken bag

Hi Hadley, sorry about the broken bag and I am sure it was replaced once you notified Chewy it was broke in transit. Hopefully your dog enjoyed the food.

Ben hates it!
By BenW1219 on Dec 8, 2019
Purchased this food for an active GSD hoping he'd like it and put some weight on him. No go! He hates it and will bypass a meal if this food is in it.

3 dogs, have been searching for a perfect new food
By Atlasandfam on Aug 3, 2019
I have been looking for that perfect food after not being satisfied with certain companies and other foods changing formulas. I wanted high calories, high protein and fat content, and high percentage of protein from animal products. I also wanted grain inclusive with highly digestible grains. This product checks every box and the dogs love it. I changed over cold turkey and stools were solid and small with no digestive upset. It must be highly palatable because all three dogs eat this without question. AWESOME FOOD!

Perfect food for any active husky or malamute breed
By Frankster on Feb 6, 2019
My Siberians love this brand. I mix some of this into the Dr. Tim's grain free Kinesis food to help them keep some muscle mass. Their coats are in gorgeous condition from this brand. I receive compliments no matter wherever I bring them. Soft, silky, and most importantly not oily.

Rich food high in Calories
By xtremelysassy on Oct 31, 2017
I bought this food as the Great Life Dr E's buffalo food was out of stock.. I have 2 German Shorthair Pointers who are quite active and fit. They LOVED this food but the calorie content in this food 533 calories per cup vs the other was 429 calories a cup caused one of my dogs to gain weight QUICKLY. I didn't pay attention to the calorie count and kept serving them the same portions. All the sudden the weight started to pack on the dogs. Once I returned to the other food their weight went back to wear it should be for their age, size and breed. High quality food but just high in calories. So be careful if you have dogs over the age of 6. They don't burn the calories as much as the younger I bought this food as the Great Life Dr E's buffalo food was out of stock..
