Pursuit Athletic Dog Food has been formulated to help facilitate the stamina, endurance and performance of canines. The food contains highly digestible proteins, fats and carbohydrates to power your dog down the trail. In addition, supplements are included to decrease the stresses that dogs' bodies undergo in highly competitive situations that may produce stress diarrhea. These supplements include prebiotics, probiotics and multiple fiber sources such as rice, psyllium, beet pulp, oatmeal and chicory root. Pursuit also contains chelated minerals, kelp, selenium, natural preservatives and L-carnitine.
To minimize allergic reactions, corn and soy products are not used in Pursuit. Pursuit Athletic Dog Food has been formulated through the combined efforts of a Ph.D. canine nutritionist and a veterinarian experienced in athletic and competitive dog sports.

 Chicken by-product meal
Chicken by-product meal is chicken flesh and skin, internal organs (including intestines) and bone that has been cleaned, dried, cooked and ground. Why include ground bones and internal organs and not just flesh? A little ground bone is a great source of calcium, internal organs are a wealth of minerals and proteins and fat and chicken skin increase palatability.
Rice
Dr. Tim's Premium Athletic Dog Foods uses rice as one of its primary carbohydrate sources. Rice 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 is simple, available and provides an immediate energy boost.
Chicken Fat or Pork Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherals and citric acid)
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 Meal
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
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.
Dried Egg Product
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
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.
Oatmeal
Dr. Tim's uses oatmeal as a primary carbohydrate source (along with rice). Oatmeal 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 oatmeal than with other carbohydrate sources.
Canola Oil
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.
Natural Flavor
Chicken liver digest is our natural flavor enhancer; it's "goopy" fermented chicken livers – sounds repulsive, but dogs love it.
Salmon Oil
Salmon oil enables the transport of all the balanced fatty acids your dog requires.
Dried Chicory Root (Inulin)
The root of the chicory plant contains a compound known as inulin - which is a prebiotic - and supplies fiber.
Salt
Sodium chloride, or "salt", is essential for bodily functions.
Potassium Chloride
Potassium chloride is another salt essential for aiding bodily functions.
Yucca Shidigera Extract
This plant-based flavor enhancer may exhibit some anti-inflammatory effects… and may even make your dog's feces less odiferous!
OVN™ Vitamin Premix
(Vitamin A, D3, E, K3(menadione), B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine), B12, C (L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate), Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folic acid and Biotin)
Our foods incorporate DSM Nutritional Product's OVN™ (Optimal Vitamin Nutrition) vitamin premix specifically formulated for Dr. Tim to support and maintain your dog's optimal skin, coat and paw pad health under high performance conditions. Our diets contain a Skin and Coat and Paw Pad nutrient system targeting a daily intake of biotin, specific omega fatty acids (like DHA) and zinc at scientifically proven levels. OVN™ is a trademark of DSM Nutritional Products.
Dried Microbial Fermentation Products
(Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium thermophilum)
These prebiotics and probiotics are strains of bacteria specifically grown to help the body fend off harmful bacteria and stimulate the immune system; think yogurt.
Kelp Meal
Kelp, a sea vegetable, keeps your dog's coat healthy and is loaded with amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
Minerals/Trace Minerals/Chelated Trace Minerals
Dr. Tim's Premium Athletic Dog Food includes iron sulfate, zinc oxide, zinc amino acid chelate, manganous oxide, manganese amino acid chelate, copper amino acid chelate, copper sulfate, cobalt carbonate, ethylenediamine dihydriodide and sodium selenite. Zinc deficiency is a known problem in northern breed dogs; Dr. Tim's includes two sources of zinc (zinc oxide and zinc amino acid chelate) to combat this.
L-Carnitine
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid that plays an essential role in the metabolism of fat.
Rosemary Extract
This extract is a natural preservative, anti-oxidant and tastes great, too.
