It all started in a garage...
In 2004, Dr. Tim Hunt asked a simple question: What should we feed our animals if we want them to thrive?
His answer began in a garage in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and he had a unique vantage point for answering it.
A Michigan State–trained veterinarian (DVM, 1989), Dr. Tim opened Bayshore Veterinary Clinic in Marquette in 1993 and still practices there today. He has also raced Alaskan Huskies, including three Iditarods, and has volunteered as an Iditarod race veterinarian and judge. Between the exam room and the sled runners, he’s seen how food shows up in a dog’s energy, endurance, recovery, and digestion.
Today, Dr. Tim’s Pet Food continues to stand for what it always has: science-backed nutrition, uncompromising quality, and a deep belief in the difference a well-fed pet can make.
From the family couch to the toughest working conditions, we’re here to help dogs and cats live healthier, more active lives. Because they’re worth it.
For more than 20 years, we’ve held to one belief: pets deserve nutrition with a purpose.

Different Pets = Different Needs
A couch companion doesn’t need the same food as an athlete, a working dog, or a senior. That’s why we formulate for different activity levels and life stages.
