Dr. Marty Nature’s Blend

I have only been using Dr. Marty's food for almost two weeks.

My dog is 15 and very arthritic, so much so, that most of the time I was having to lift her up by her hind end as those two legs don't work very well. After the first week, I am pleased to say that she is now getting up on her own (albeit with some struggle) at least 75% of the time. Because of the expense and her being overweight anyway, I give her one cup of Marty food in the morning and one at night along with half a can of grain-free "stew" in beef, turkey, and chicken.

I also give her the Beef Liver treats about every third time when she comes in from her duties. She loves the food and will go to her bowl and look at me as if to say "Come on Mom, I want more good food!"

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

His "real meat" is not free-range nor grass-fed. He does not care about every animal from farm to table! I will not be purchasing this anymore until he changes his meat.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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.

Was quite surprised at how small a bag this was. You would have to be very wealthy in order to feed this as a whole food for your dog. My dog is 57 pounds and this bag definitely won't last very long. I was really hoping that this would replace the kibble that my dog gets but there isn't enough in each bag to last a month. One bag was torn upon receipt and I put it in a gallon-size plastic bag and the product doesn't even fill the bag it's 2/3 full. The bag is 16 oz. It might be a great product but very very expensive and not sure I could afford to continue to buy given the small amount in the bag. Very disappointed.

My 16-year-old Terrier is soooo picky about all foods! Sometimes she will go a day or two without eating! I was sooo nervous about getting her Dr. Marty's food but I bought the 3 bags because it would be cheaper than 1 at a time. Well, I discovered my girl LOVES the food and even though she wants more I can tell she isn't hungry and begging for treats or something else. She licks her bowl clean and now she looks forward to mealtime, which wasn't her usual behavior. I'm so happy for her that she now loves to eat and believe me I'VE TRIED many many high-end brands and continuously change her food that it upsets her tummy so. Thank you so much, Dr. Marty, for helping me and my girl find a food that she loves!

I have a 2-year-old Coton de Tulear who is 7.6 lbs. He has been on raw freeze-dried food for his whole life...high end only, no Petco, just boutique shops. He has NEVER responded to food like he did to this one! NEVER. He DEVOURS it...EVERY single time. I don't even have to put the raw broccoli or sliced baby carrots or anything else healthy that he loooooves. THIS FOOD IS AMAZING...he doesn't leave ANY of this in his bowl as he used to with the other top drawer food. MAN, though...given that, 16 ounces goes MUCH faster than I thought, so the price is a bit to consider. Please, I have to purchase $100 at a time to save shipping. Wish they would come into stores.

I saw this product advertised somewhere, can't remember where. I thought it seemed expensive, but I also knew that I could afford it, and it was at least worth a try for my 12-year-old best friend, my cat Steven.

Let me tell you. He is a longhair cat, and had recently had his fur shaved, and it wasn't coming in all that well, bald spots on the stomach, not very good. But the first couple of days when I introduced Dr. Marty Nature's Blend into his diet, his fur came in. Beautifully. Curled like he was taken to a Hollywood hairstylist! I couldn't believe my eyes. It has been a few months now. He seems to like it best when I add a small amount of water to the freeze-dried pellets and mash it up. I am still giving him some canned food as well from a different source. I guess I will eventually transition over, but I like to give him a little variety. We'll see.

But he is looking good, he seems happy and healthy, and his weight seems to have stabilized, as he is overweight. Not enough time yet on that. But I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Marty Nature's Blend!

I would recommend this food because it is the highest quality dog food you can buy. The only thing better would be if you hand-made your dog's food every day and used the same quality ingredients. Since I don't have that kind of time, I am so happy this is available! While it is expensive, so are health problems caused by poor diets!

I have never had any problems with the customer service on ordering or on deliveries but I have never tried to return anything. Bottom line...excellent quality product and the dogs like it!

My old girl, Flanny, loves this food. She consumes it with gusto. At first, I wasn’t sure how she was responding but I think she just had a couple of tired days coincidentally. Old doggies are allowed to do that. She seems less bloated, maybe a bit perkier, in general. We’ve only swapped out half her regular food for Dr. Marty’s food. I would without hesitation switch 100% to Nature’s Blend if it were less expensive. Maybe someday...

I have a Rot/Pit/Boxer mix, she has a bladder tumor so we thought this would be great to add to her food. She will NOT touch it but if we give her just her food she eats like nobody's business, so we know it's not something health-wise that's curving her apatite. Sadly she just hates this food and due to her having a tumor it's beyond important that she's eating and drinking regularly. We will have to send this all back. Very disappointing.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months
