What we lead with
Every Timberwolf recipe starts with real, named animal proteins. Dogs and cats are built to use amino acids from meat with ease, so we set meaningful protein targets rather than “just enough.”

How that shows up in the bowl

Dog recipes deliver about 34 to 40 percent protein. Fat runs about 16 to 18 percent to fuel work and play.

Cat recipes reach up to 50 percent protein, with about 85 to 93 percent of those proteins coming from animal sources.

We use dominant primary proteins and offer novel options to support rotation and preference.

Meals and fresh meats are used for a strong amino acid profile and consistent digestibility.

Why it matters

Supports lean muscle, focus, and healthy appetite.

Helps picky eaters stay engaged because meat tastes and smells like food to them.

Enables rotation across proteins to keep meals interesting.

Gives you clear labels with named sources.

Tip
Start with one primary protein if your pet is sensitive, then rotate once settled.

Fuel that shines through the coat
Fats carry energy and essential fatty acids that the body cannot make on its own. We balance animal fats with omega rich sources so pets get steady fuel and a glossy coat.

What we use and why

Animal fats from named sources provide energy and help absorption of fat soluble vitamins.

Fish sources supply DHA and EPA omega 3s that support skin, coat, and overall wellness.

Plant sources like flax may be used for additional alpha linolenic acid where appropriate.

Natural mixed tocopherols protect freshness without artificial colors or flavors.

Why it matters

Stable energy for active days.

Skin and coat support that you can see and feel.

Palatability that brings picky pets to the bowl.

Tip
If you see seasonal dry skin, try a fish forward formula for a few weeks and watch the difference.

Purpose over filler
Carbohydrates play a role in kibble structure and energy, but not all carbs are equal. We choose digestible sources that support the recipe rather than bulk it up.

Our approach

Select carbs for function, digestibility, and texture.

Balance starch for kibble integrity so pieces do not crumble in the bag.

Pair with the right fibers to support stool quality and a healthy microbiome.

Why it matters

Steady energy without a heavy feel.

Consistent kibble that keeps freshness and crunch.

Labels you can read with purposeful ingredients.

Tip
Transition over seven to ten days when changing formulas so the gut has time to adjust.

Small amounts that do big jobs
The right fibers help feed beneficial gut bacteria and support firm, easy to pick up stools.

What we rely on

Prebiotic fibers such as beet pulp or chicory root to nourish good microbes.

Soluble and insoluble fibers in balance for stool quality and regularity.

Thoughtful levels so fiber supports digestion rather than crowding the bowl.

Why it matters

Better stool quality and easier clean up.

A healthy gut that can make the most of every meal.

For cats, fiber can also help move hair through the system.

Tip
Water matters. Make sure fresh water is always available, especially as fiber does its work.

Support for a thriving gut
Select Timberwolf recipes include added probiotics as listed on the label. These beneficial bacteria are chosen for stability and are added after cooking so they can do their job.

Our guardrails

Only strains that are appropriate for pet food use.

Added at the right point in the process for viability.

Backed by our internal release checks before the batch ships.

Why it matters

Helps maintain a healthy balance in the gut.

Supports digestion and overall wellness alongside prebiotic fibers.

Can be helpful during transitions, travel, or times of stress.

Tip
If your formula includes probiotics, store the bag in a cool, dry place and keep it sealed between uses.
