When I decided to make a serious comeback in distance racing, one of the important part was to find a commercial dry food that I could use without problems when training hard and racing. Because that better quality your dog food is, that less quantity you need to put in to your dogs to get enough energy for your team to do what you expect from them. And you avoid loose and blood stool as well.

After testing a couple of other brands which I was not totally satisfied with, I email Dr Tims and we agreed on me buying a test shipment of 7 pallets. That was early fall 2008. I found Momentum to be way better than any dry food I ever used before. Last summer we fed all our dogs ( + 160) with only Momentum with fresh, cold water. Now in winter( early December) and long runs, we have already +1200 miles on race dogs and 7-800 miles on tourist dogs and yearlings, we still feed less than 1/3 of total feeding with meat, over 2/3 is still dry food. I have never had a dry food that came even close to this. I look forward to this winters racing season, because with good food and serious training put in to my dogs I am as ready as anyone else for the big races. This summer I also started to sell Dr Tims to other mushers.

…I can honestly recommend the food – if you find something better, well, then use it!
