Dr. Tim's Metabolite Grain Free Formula Dog Food is a grain-free weight loss and management formula for adult and senior dogs of all breeds.
The grain-free version of the original Metabolite formula is free of all grains and uses easy to digest tapioca and white potatoes to provide gentle fibers.
Dr. Tim took a different approach to weight loss but providing high levels of protein and complimentary levels of fiber with moderate fats to work with your dogs natural metabolism. This formula helps open your dogs metabolic routes to boost their natural ability to burn calories.
Metabolite also helps soothe dogs who are constantly hungry when on other diet type foods by having enough fiber for them to feel full.
These formula's are made without corn, wheat or soy and contain natural pre and probiotics to encourage your dogs immune system and gut bacteria to flourish, which in turn raises their overall health. With added Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), these foods can also help give your dog a mental boost!
Dr. Tim's foods are formulated through the efforts of a canine nutritionist who holds a Ph.D. and a practicing small animal veterinarian with extensive experience in dog sports.
