Dr. Marty Nature’s Blend

They don’t sell their product, they shove it down your throat. The system is designed to promote more and more bags at the checkout. If you buy 3 bags, it pops up that "make it six and you will pay less". However, your order would be 9 bags and you’ll be charged for 3 bags separately and 6 bags on top of those three.

THEY WON’T PAY FOR YOUR RETURN SHIPPING.

There are too many other companies with better product and customer service. I’m sorry to give Dr. Marty business!

My dog is a strong 110lb lab mix. Called Dr. Marty's and explained the cost per month would be $700 and thus, not practical. They suggested I include it as a supplement to his already highly regarded dry food. Great idea. There is no doubt it has improved his already great energy and health. So, I appreciate their understanding and advice. It’s working and annually it will be within my budget.

I was sent a whole box, almost $300.00 I never ordered, beware of fraudulent advertising. My German Shepherd and Shih Tzu won’t touch it. The money-back guarantees are a joke, it costs so much to send back, it’s not worth it. Extremely expensive to return and they tried to offer me 40% off instead of sending it back. Very poor advertising and do not buy. You can buy raw foods at many places, even start at the store, but the mixing with purified water and waiting is a joke, on top of the price. My suggestion is don’t buy, your dog will hate it. Dr. Marty says you can use it as a topper over food but there are no directions on making different amounts. All I can say is I feel I was lied to. And deliberately fraudulent advertising, no cheap way to return, you’ll be stuck with food your dog won’t eat. I tried for weeks to mix with food or as a topper as he says, gradually introduce the dry mix.

My 2 pugs seem to like the food, however, it's not organic and I only feed them organic foods. At these prices, it should be certified organic and furthermore, I can't stand the smell when having to smash it up in the hot water first thing in the morning. I believe the food is made in these hollow pellets to take up space in the bag and make it look like you are actually getting something for your money. What a gimmick! There is a new food on the market called Merrrick and it's supposed to be the next real deal and organic and available in pet stores. I can't recommend Dr. Marty's food to anyone who wants their dogs to live a long healthy life.

Even though my dog, Annie, is suffering from debilitating health issues (cancer) and recently, blindness and inability to smell, I feel she is doing so much better since I started feeding her Dr. Marty Nature's Blend. Before starting her on the Dr. Marty food, she wouldn't eat and lost an extreme amount of weight. She now eats readily and has gained weight. Some people might think it's not fair to keep Annie alive, but she is so happy. She's on tramadol for her pain and since I don't see evidence of her suffering (which she was before I started her on the Dr. Marty food), I think she would want to stick around a while longer. Her vet had given up on her when she was losing so much weight. She's now even started to put on muscle weight.

We had been feeding our dog LOUIE a preservative-free supplement...then altering different meats each week. He first loved it, then began to turn his nose up? We read about Dr. Marty’s and decided to give it a try. We ordered 3 bags without commitment. Our dog has chowed each and every bowl down to licking the bowl! His coat looks healthier, his arthritis (although still there) is better! He has a lot more energy, and seems happy! We are now on regular shipments! This is an awesome food, so easy to prepare!

And we aren’t cooking for him anymore!

Thanks Dr. Marty.

Sparky liked the food just fine but there were no visible improvements to his life. I fed him this diet for over half a year and don't feel it is worth the cost I was paying. Going back to his old brand.

My dog loves the food! She ignores any dry food I leave out as I am supplementing part of her feedings due to the cost of feeding a bigger dog. A full feeding makes 1 bag last only about a week and a half as she is approx 50 lbs. I did take advantage of the membership price but it's still an expensive option. I am only choosing to stay with it because she loves it and I do see some improvement in her. I also understand such high-quality food is expensive to produce so I understand you may not be able to offer it at an even lower price.

We got this 3 days ago and have introduced slowly as a '"topping" on regular food for our 3 mini schnauzers. They loved it, even my picky eater. However, my 14-year-old dog had very soft bowel movements and then diarrhea within an hour. This is a dog who has never had an accident in the house in her life and had 3 in one night. Tried it again and the same result. I will be returning. I'm sure it is a quality product but my senior dog cannot tolerate it.

Thank you for your reply. I was contacted by another person from your company and I was issued a refund. I appreciate that and I am just so sad that I will no longer be able to use the product because of the formula change. I don't know what was changed, but as soon as we got the new shipment, I noticed that the food looked different than before and the first dog was sick that evening. The following two days, 2 more were sick and wouldn't eat and one of them was so severe that he was hospitalized at the ER vet. The only thing they had to eat was Dr. Marty's, and I was just stunned because I have had such great results for the past year that I have been feeding it to them. I have a 501c3 dog rescue and I am rehabilitating dogs that have conditions due to poor feeding habits, so I was thrilled with the results I got after starting them on Dr. Marty's. I am just so disappointed that it has changed and I am now trying to find another product. As a rescue, I cannot afford to have a lot of unnecessary vet bills because there are so many other things that the dogs need. Although I truly appreciate the refund and the customer care that you have extended, I believe the only real solution for me would be to have the previous formula restored. Thank you.

The first time I ordered this food for my dog, they charged my credit card for a second order for twice the amount. They eventually resolved the issue. Two days ago I placed another order for 3 bags and called them because I checked my card and they placed a second order for 6 bags. I called them and they told me that the $160 charge would come off because it was pending. Today I checked my card and both charges of $90 and $160 were posted. They need to be investigated about fraudulent charges.
