Low ash chicken meal consists of chicken meat and some accompanying bone, and “ash” denotes the amount of bone that's ground into the meal. A low ash content signifies a higher grade meal. The chicken is ground into a powder (meal) after the fat and water are removed, and the end result is a very concentrated, highly digestible protein, rich with amino acids, essential fatty acids and minerals (ash) that provide calcium and phosphorous.

Dr. Tim's Premium Athletic Dog Foods uses rice flour as one of its primary carbohydrate sources. Rice flour is highly digestible and a good source of energy and nutritional balance. Why include carbohydrates in the diet if fat is the important energy source? Although fats are a very concentrated energy source, carbohydrates are important for energy, too. Rice flour is simple, available and provides an immediate energy boost.

One of the fats used in Dr. Tim's Premium Athletic Dog Foods derives from either pork or chicken. We have two different varieties of Momentum; one made with pork fat and one made with chicken fat. Why use chicken or pork fat? These fats increase calories, are from animal origins (dogs are omnivores) and taste great!

Herring is a fish from the Atlantic Ocean. It's a great source of high quality protein, calcium and Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids - and dogs love the taste of it, too.

Beet pulp is a moderately fermentable fiber from sugar beets. After extracting the sugar from the sugar beet, the remaining material is beet pulp. This pulp is an excellent source of fiber and is also a prebiotic.

Eggs are the most balanced source of protein available, hands down. They are an excellent source of essential fatty acids, which give your dogs healthy coats and skin.

Flaxseed meal is the ground seed of the flax plant, which you may have seen in your local natural food store. It delivers many of the balanced fatty acids a body needs and is also a fiber source.

Dr. Tim's uses oat flour as a primary carbohydrate source (along with rice flour). Oat flour is highly digestible, a good source of energy and nutritional balance and used because of its impact on regulating blood glucose. There are less blood glucose fluctuations after a meal containing oat flour than with other carbohydrate sources.

Dr. Tim's uses canola oil, also known as rapeseed oil, as one of the vehicles used to deliver all the balanced fatty acids; canola oil helps maintain the proper ratios of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, may reduce inflammatory injuries, and improve your dog's skin, coat and kidneys.

Chicken liver digest is our natural flavor enhancer; it's "goopy" fermented chicken livers – sounds repulsive, but dogs love it.

Salmon oil enables the transport of all the balanced fatty acids your dog requires.

The root of the chicory plant contains a compound known as inulin - which is a prebiotic - and supplies fiber.

Sodium chloride, or "salt", is essential for bodily functions.

Rice bran is the protective outer coating removed from rice in the process of creating white rice. The bran layer is vitamin and antioxidant rich, flush with soluble and insoluble fibers and assures bulking in the gastrointestinal tract for a healthy colon and consistent stools.

Potassium chloride is another salt essential for aiding bodily functions.

This plant-based flavor enhancer may exhibit some anti-inflammatory effects… and may even make your dog's feces less odiferous!
