Dr. Tim's Kinesis Dog Food 30-Day Challenge, Day 30: chewy.com Product Review

For the last 30 days, Chewy has been eating Dr. Tim's Kinesis Dog Food.



He still thinks it's delicious and hasn't gotten bored of it, chomping it up with lots of gusto. Chewy has gotten bored of some kibbles in the past and refused to eat them, so this one must taste pretty good!

You want me to wait?? But I'm hungry!
Om nom nom nom

His fur is nice and shiny and possibly softer than ever, probably thanks to all the fish oils in the food. His energy level is also excellent. We brought the kibble with us on a week-long beach vacation, and Chewy had the energy to swim and run along the shore every morning, happy as a clam. He never wanted to leave! And even after all the swimming, rinsing off, and bath-time, his fur was still very soft and healthy.

After trying this food for a month, I would definitely consider purchasing it in the future and adding it to Chewy's rotation of kibbles. The 44-lb bag option is a great value, especially at chewy.com's price of $64.49. I would recommend Dr. Tim's Kinesis for the regular house dog - it provides fuel for the daily dog agendas of walkies, snuggling, playing, napping, and zoomies, with the benefit of healthy skin, coat, weight, and poops.

Searching for more goodies in the chewy box!

Dr. Tim's Kinesis Dog Food 30-Day Challenge, Day 16: chewy.com Product Review

So far, Chewy is really enjoying his new Dr. Tim's food. The kibbles are a nice, small size: perfect for the dog that hoovers kibble without chewing all that much.


Chewy's morning routine used to be: go out for walkies, go home and run upstairs, solicit pettings from people still in bed, then lurk around at the top of the stairs waiting for breakfast to be served. Now, he skips the soliciting pettings part, because he is SO ready for breakfast! He runs to his bowl the moment he hears those first clickity-clacks of his kibbles hitting the stainless steel.

Dr. Tim's kibble time!

Om nom nom

After he's finished his kibbles, he picks up some water with his tongue and then washes out the empty food bowl. It must be super yummy if he wants to get every bit of flavor!


It was Chewy's birthday yesterday and I used some kibble to top off his frozen yogurt cake, and he ate all the kibbles before digging into the yogurt. Chewy is the type of dog that eats the best stuff first, so that says a lot for this kibble!



On Dr. Tim's Kinesis, Chewy's energy level has been good: playful but not crazy hyper, content to lounge around for a few hours at a time, yet with enough energy for hiking. His poops have been regular and firm, which is a necessity when you have to pick them all up! 

I think it is still too soon to tell if this food has had any effect on his skin/coat, weight and other health aspects, so those updates will have to wait for Day 30.

Dr. Tim's Kinesis Dog Food 30-day challenge, Day 1 - chewy.com Product Review

This month we will be doing a 30-day challenge with chewy.com: Chewy will be eating Dr. Tim's Kinesis All Life Stages Formula Dog Food, and we will share our thoughts and experiences along the way.

Food? I like food...challenge accepted!

The Dr. Tim's line of pet food products are formulated to provide all-natural, quality nutrition. They offer diets for varying degrees of activity, from dogs that compete in sports to those that "prefer to scale the couch," as well as grain-free and weight management formulas. Dr. Tim's dog foods contain probiotics, prebiotics and natural antioxidants for healthy immune systems, are made with mostly animal-derived proteins, and are slow-cooked in small batches in the USA. They are free of corn and soy products.

First ingredient: chicken meal
The Kinesis All Life Stages Formula is min. 26% crude protein, for the average not-super-active dog. While Chewy does like to run around and feel the wind in his fur, he also likes to be a couch potato for most of the day. The protein sources in this kibble are mostly chicken meal, eggs, and various fish meals, suggesting high digestibility. 

Dr. Tim's Kinesis comes in 5-lb, 15-lb, 30-lb, and 44-lb bags. Have you ever seen a 44-lb bag of kibble? It's humongous! But a better value, of course.

*sniffff*
Our 44-lb bag ripped a little on its journey to our house. I bet it got thrown around a bit between truck rides. Chewy found it to be a perfect hole for sniff-vestigating the contents, and was also pleasantly surprised to find a few loose kibbles at the bottom of the box. He quickly cleaned those up, of course.

Edit: Because of the ripped packaging, chewy.com speedily sent us a brand new bag of Dr. Tim's at our request, because their customer service is truly stellar!

Don't mind if I do!

The food looks and smells like regular kibble, with the same stinky oily smell that Chewy is fond of.


Chewy seems to like his new kibble, but only time will tell if it's a good fit for him! We will post an update in another 2 weeks to share how it's going.
