The most suitable diet for a Timber dog and any other dog for that matter is a raw diet. As dogs descend from wolves, they thrive on a species appropriate diet of raw meat, meaty bones and offal. Raw food is fresher and more natural and it is what they would have eaten in the wild before being domesticated.

There are many benefits of raw feeding which are; healthier skin, shinier coats, cleaner teeth and fresher breath, smaller stools, less health issues and many more.

For those owners who do not wish to feed raw, a good quality kibble should be provided instead.

Exercise

Timber dogs are happy to be couch potatoes or go hiking up hills with you. They bond very closely with their owners and want to be with them at all times, so it doesn’t matter what you’re doing - your Timber will want to be a part of it. They see your family as their pack and want to be by your side.

The more exercise you give to your Timber dog, the more exercise they will then require. You can easily turn them into an athlete.
