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.

Golden Retriever Success
By Micki on Sep 11, 2021
My Golden retriever has been battling the bulge ever since she was spayed. I cut treats, increased exercise, and drastically reduced her portions but she just kept gaining. She had a blood panel done to rule out certain health conditions. I tried various brands and types of food over the last 2 years that either didn’t result in weight loss or didn’t agree with her in one way or another. Happy to say she’s been on Dr Tim’s Metabolite for 5 months and looks fantastic. She continues to lose weight and while she doesn’t attack this food as ravenously as some others, she does eat it and it seems to satisfy her. It took about 2 months before we saw some significant weight loss. I definitely recommend My Golden retriever has been battling the bulge ever since she was spayed.

Dr. Tim's is the Best
By CrazyDogLover on Oct 27, 2021
Dr. Tim's dog food is excellent. I particularly look for food that does not have corn in it, since most cases of salmonella or tainted dog foods that are recalled are those with corn in them. My dogs eat Dr. Tim's dry food very eagerly.

Great Stuff!
By Kent on Oct 13, 2021
My dog, Jorge, is overweight and his appetite varies from day to day. He has always turned his nose up at dry dog food. Dry dog food has to be mixed in with wet dog food beforehand for him to eat it. Now with Dr Tim’s he actually eats it dry. Amazing!!!

My Corgi Roxy loves this food
By GloriaR on Aug 24, 2021
If anyone has a Corgi they know that food is their obsession, so when we noticed our girl was gaining weight we tried a couple different foods to get it under control. Most of the other weight management foods either made her more hungry (she started eating her poop) or they made her poop more because of the added fiber and she never lost any weight. We found Dr. Tim's and have never looked back; we had to find the right amount by adjusting their recommended servings and ended up giving her a rounded 1/2 cup twice a day which worked well. She loves this food and it has helped her lose and maintain her proper weight.

Pug low cal food
By Weight on Jul 15, 2021
My pug is about 4 # over weight. Been trying to find a low cal food for him. He is allergic to turkey and everyone I checked had turkey. I finally found Dr Tims. He loves it. And it has great ingredients. And Chewy gets it to us quickly. Hopefully this will do the trick.

This stuff works!
By philly88 on Jun 3, 2021
My 7 yr old Chiweenie needed to drop 4 pds and had just been diagnosed with a heart murmur and slightly enlarged heart. Thankfully not showing any signs of heart failure but needed to get his weight down. Within 2 weeks of starting him on Dr Tim's, (which he loved) he was losing weight. He's been at the maintenance stage for a year. He still likes the taste, his weight is perfect and at 8yrs old he has more energy then most puppies.
