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

10 Customer Questions


Are the ingredients sourced from the USA?

Answer by ChewyJul 04, 2019
This food is sourced in the United States and made in Nebraska.

How do I determine how much to give my dog, do I use the chart based on her current weight or her recommended weight?

Answer by ChewyFeb 02, 2022
This recipe should be fed to maintain ideal body condition. Adjust individual amount as needed considering activity level, environment and age. The "Weight Loss" feeding chart should be followed based on your pet's ideal weight.

Is this food recommended for weight LOSS?

Answer by ChewyJan 14, 2020
This recipe features elevated levels of protein, a complementary fiber structure and moderate fat content that work in tandem with your pet’s natural metabolism to support weight loss.

I was going to ask the Taurine question and saw that it was already answered with a list of the ingredients. However, in the list of ingredients on the bag the taurine is not listed. Was this an error on the bag? This is an important ingredient for my dogs.

Answer by ChewySep 05, 2021
As the taurine content is naturally derived from within the meat of the recipe, it is not listed as a separate ingredient.

My girl was 15lbs over her healthy weight. I was recommended this food by a friend to help, and I was not disappointed. She dropped down to her health weight faster than I anticipated and she still loves it after 3 years. Easy on her tummy and keeps her at her best weight.

Healthy diet

My dog is very picky. He seems to eat this better than others. I do put it with water to help soften. That works. He won't eat regular soft food.

He likes it

I purchased this food because it was low in calories and had five star reviews. My sheltie needed to lose five pounds. He did it on a prescription diet kibble

I purchased this food because it was low in calories and had five star reviews. My sheltie needed to lose five pounds. He did it on a prescription diet kibble but I didn't like the food ingredients so as soon as he reached the goal I wanted to switch him to a weight management kibble. He has been on Dr. Tim's for two weeks. He likes it and has kept the weight off.

Great food!

I switched my dog to this food from another top tier dog food. I’m so glad I did! It’s low enough in fat content for his pancreatitis. He seems to have more energy

I switched my dog to this food from another top tier dog food. I’m so glad I did! It’s low enough in fat content for his pancreatitis. He seems to have more energy and I can tell he feels better on this food. Definitely recommend!!!
