Dr. Marty Nature’s Blend

I ordered online 3 bags and checked my email for a confirmation. 15 minutes later no confirmation so I resent the order and noted an immediate online confirmation. Next two email confirmations hit my email. I immediately sent an email canceling the second order (it was Memorial Day so I understand no one was available for a phone call). No response to my email. Next day I called the company and was told they could not cancel the duplicate order. I was very unhappy. The service person did not care at all and provided me a return form so I could carry their second order to the post office and pay return shipping.

Both orders arrived in one box. Now I determine that $30 worth of their dog food will only last my 35-pound dog 3 days. I'm letting Robby eat the first bag then will return it all and hope they honor their refund policy. I used Visa so expect no problem.

I would not recommend this company. Their sales video is materially misleading by not addressing the cost per day.

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.

I bought this product for my senior dog, he was beginning to put on some weight and was turning his nose up to his usual food so I began adding it as a topper. I mix it with a powdered raw food to mimic chunks and wet and he gobbled it up. I started using more Dr. Marty's and less dry kibble and now he is exclusively eating a raw/dehydrated/freeze-dried diet and thriving!

My husband and I adopted 2 10-year-old shelter cats. One is blind and has high blood pressure. The other is old but they needed to stay together. We were happy to step in and give them a home. I want these cats to have a good life. I tried Dr. Marty's food and they would not eat it. I mixed it with their other food. I tried for several days. I determined that this is not the best "fit" for these cats. It may be a great product for some pets. It was a hassle to return and I sent it back priority mail, insured. I hope it works for other pets. It just did not work for my new "senior cats."

Hi all,

I am feeling so worried about our dog, Morton. He’s our sweet, little, 3.5-year-old, 45lb Bassett/Dobbie mutt and we’ve never had any health issues in the past. He’s actually a bit of a tank, whom we loving joke is "our little trash goblin" due to his fondness for street finds (which we obviously then have to pry out of his mouth - yuck?). But never any health problems.

We were so excited to start him on Dr. Marty’s Nature’s Blend because we love our little goblin and want him to live forever. We were so excited yesterday morning when we began to introduce the food to his diet and he LOVED it.

We have only been giving him 3/4oz with each meal (roughly 50 pellets) in addition to his usual 1 cup of dry food (grain-free, etc).

We did this yesterday morning and evening for each of his meals, and then this morning, for his 3rd Dr. Marty meal, we added a 1/2 a scoop of the ProPower Plus Digestive Supplement.

After his breakfast, we took him for his morning walk and HORROR. Pitiful bouts of panting, trembling, and explosive liquid diarrhea. Sorry. It was too soon after his breakfast for it to be the ProPower Plus Digestive Supplement, so it must be the Nature’s Blend.

He needed to go out 3 hours later for round 2 of more diarrhea. My poor puppy! He’s so pitiful. What should we do?

Is it Salmonella? Listeria? Should we take him to the vet?

We will obviously not give him any tonight or tomorrow morning, but should we stop altogether?

I’m so disappointed - I was really excited about this food.

We have an older Labrador Retriever who was having trouble moving about or crawling up on the couch to sit with my grandkids. My son-in-law kept referring to how we will bury her when she goes and if we might want to put her down one day. When I took the time to listen to Dr. Marty's presentation about nutrition it made sense that most dog food starts out as that which is unfit to feed a human. Then fillers bulk it up, and the whole mixture is cooked to death and dried into brown kibble. So, I thought I would at least try it to see if I might give her improved health.

To my surprise, only a few days into using ProPower Plus sprinkled on her regular food and offering the Nature's Blend food as a treat (a couple of handfuls) each day, she changed from lying down while she ate to excitedly running to her bowl and eating with enthusiasm. She also went from barely able to crawl onto the couch to jumping on the couch to happily interact with family members again. I truly believe these two products have improved and hopefully extended her life.

My boxer is 9 years old and has suffered with a belly issue since she was a puppy. Every time she eats she was having a hard time digesting and the next day she would have diarrhea and a gurgling stomach, which caused her pain no matter what I fed her. Until I tried Dr. Marty's Nature Blend freeze-dried food. She has had the best belly since. It truly is a miracle. Thank you Dr. M.

The product is good, we are now on bag #3, I don't really see much of a difference, I have 2 dogs who are always happy...I won't be ordering anymore because 1) the bags are way too small, with 2 dogs it lasts less than a week, and 2) the cost to feed the 2 of them with this product is much too costly for anyone...I'm just being honest.

I read one review about a small Yorkie getting pancreatitis after eating this food. I have an 8-year-old Yorkie that has had pancreatitis for several years. I was told I could not feed her any human food and she was to eat only the vet prescribed healthy food. I tried their wet and dry and every brand they had and she would not eat it. All of it was expensive and she had hard stool. I do not want to starve my dog to the point they have to eat what my vet prescribed for them. Molly has been eating Dr. Marty’s Natural pet food without starving her. I give her only nine pieces twice a day. She has been on it for a week or so now. She has not had any stomach issues as yet and I am hoping she continues to do good. This food is no more expensive than the vet's brand of foods they recommend. Molly would still vomit eating their food. She so far has not vomited at all on Dr. Marty’s. I think some vets only recommend the brand of food their office promotes. Molly has her energy back already and doesn’t always want to chew on something like before. I really hope she continues to do good on this food.

I have emailed the customer service a couple of times now and they won’t reply. It’s very disappointing as my cat was throwing up the food. I am still trying to mix it in so she does not notice the new food as much. Also, I ordered one bag and they charged me for four. I guess I will have to chargeback my card as no one seems to work there. 100% money-back guarantee...I have yet to see that, unfortunately.
