She broke her paw on March 3rd (don't know how), was set on March 5th. Took her back on March 11th, she was sick. Thay took off cast and found it infected. After 5 weeks of treatment, the bandages came off. Had to wear a cone for two more weeks. Ordered Nature's in the hope it would help with healing. I think it did as she no longer has the cone after 1 week.

I have had my two Maltese toy Poodles (both under 10 lbs) on Dr. Becker's protocol of lean food that I cook for them for quite a while but am leaning toward raw. I have started to transition them to Dr. Marty's very gradually by using it only as a topper. I do appreciate the healthy ingredients! I may continue to use it only as a topper because of what I am reading here about the fat content, which concerns me. I would like to hear more about that. Otherwise, I'm happy with it and the dogs seem to really like it. Yes, it is expensive so I will be watching for sales!

Hello Patti. I am Kat with Dr. Marty Pets. I am happy to read that your dogs enjoy our Nature’s Blend. It is very common for our customers to use Nature’s Blend as a topper in conjunction with their dog’s current feeding regimen. Your dogs will still receive nutritional benefits from this reduced serving size. Please reach out to me at kat@drmartypets.com so that we may be able to answer your questions about the ingredient contents of Nature’s Blend. Thank you for taking the time to review Dr. Marty Pets. I hope you have a wonderful day.

I have two Westies, both 11 years old. Over the years their allergies have gotten worse, so I have tried lots of different foods. I listened to Dr. Marty's whole thing on pet food and was impressed. I bought two bags of the dog food hoping this would be enough for a couple of weeks. My dogs loved the food. However, I went exactly by the weight measurements and in 8 days, both bags were gone. At roughly $30 each with tax and shipping, No freaking way was I going to spend $175 a month for my dogs to eat. That is just crazy. I love making sure my dogs get good healthy food, but that is insane for dog food. And he even says in his sales pitch, I wanted to make this food affordable. No wonder he is a vet to the stars...because they can afford his stuff.

Hello Alena. My name is Kat and I am with Dr. Marty Pets. I am happy to read that your dogs enjoyed our Nature’s Blend. Nature’s Blend’s ingredients are so nutrient-dense, the shipping cost skyrockets if it exceeds a certain weight. Our current bags are optimized to provide the most possible nutrition with the lowest cost of shipping. Additionally, since all dogs have different appetites, sizes, weight, and activity, we understand that serving sizes may vary. Many of our other customers also enjoy Nature’s Blend as a topper to provide nutrition, rather than the sole source of their dog’s food. Your pups will still benefit with this smaller dosage. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at kat@drmartypets.com. I would be happy to help.

My dog is raw fed but sometimes when he has an overnight stay with a relative when I’m out of town or I’m low on his food I will use a dehydrated raw food. I like Dr. Marty’s and my dog likes it as well but the cost is too high. Actually costs more than his meat. I would normally get a month's worth at a time but that would be close to $300 with this food. Just can’t substantiate such an expense on top of his already costly raw food. Lower the price and you’ll have a customer for life.

Hello Laura. My name is Kat and I am with Dr. Marty Pets. I am happy to read that your dog enjoys Nature’s Blend. We are aware that the cost of Nature’s Blend may be high, but since all dogs are different ranging from appetites, weight, and activity we understand servings and price per serving may vary. Your dogs are still receiving high-quality nutrition by mixing Nature’s Blend with other food if you wish to do so. Many satisfied customers use Nature’s Blend as a topper in addition to their daily feeding regimen. If you have any more comments or feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at kat@drmartypets.com. I hope you have a wonderful day.

I ordered the dog food on April 27th. Received an email stating I could cancel anytime. I called May 1st to cancel. She told me she could offer me two things! 40% of my money back and keep the dog food, or she could send me a shipping label and I pay the return shipping. I told her I have not received the food and she said it had been shipped. So I asked when I would receive the food, she said it’s coming in the mailbox. I asked where is it coming from. She acted like she did not know. Then after a long pause, she said California. I am very disappointed in the company that had such a great review on the internet. I would not recommend this company. I am still trying to get in touch with the company.

I have three dogs, Chihuahua and Chihuahua mixes. Two out of the three suffer from Pancreatitis, so I need to be cautious about what I feed them. In addition, one of them has bad allergies. When I purchased this food, I was a bit worried, because I purchased six bags, and wasn't sure if my dogs would like it. OMG, they LOVE this stuff! I have seen a major improvement in my dogs coat, their energy level and they seem happier, almost giddy. I am so pleased to finally find something I know works well for my dogs.

I received my 9 bags of Nature's Blend on Monday afternoon and did a mix of my dogs' current food 3-1, mixing the new food with some hot water for 3 minutes first. They ate it up. My nearly 9-year-old Scottish Terrier eats anything and everything and has never been picky. But itches and licks and scratches for no evident reason. My 7-month-old standard poodle can be finicky and even though she’s has been on an expensive no-grain kibble (for puppies), even adding a topper she would sometimes never finish her food. This is day two with a mix of 50/50 of their food with Nature's Blend and my poodle actually barks at me when it’s feeding time and I am not in the kitchen! It’s too early to see if the itching and scratching stops on my Scotty, bit both their stools have been firm and lots less! If I continue feeding half of their regular food and half of this, it will save me a ton and they will be getting a lot of the raw benefits. They will still get their apples and carrots when I feed the horses!

As many others have reported, my dogs absolutely loved this food, but after eating it per the recommended servings for about a month, both of them became ill, throwing up, and were in obvious pain. We took them to our vet and learned they both had pancreatitis. The vet stated that the crude fat level of 23% in the food was high, especially for little dogs. The treatment for pancreatitis is expensive, and our little guys are not out of the woods yet.

Rick, I am Kat from Dr. Marty Pets. I was really upset while reading your review as this is the first time I have heard of this reaction while a dog was trying Nature's Blend. Please e-mail me at kat@drmartypets.com with your full name so I can notify our Adverse Reactions Team right away. We take these reviews very seriously and we would like to look into this to ensure that this does not happen ever again. I would like to stress that we always ask our customers to consult their pet's veterinarians prior to beginning any new dog food to ensure that it is right for them. I also wanted to mention that we would never make a product that we did not wholeheartedly believe in. There are hundreds of happy customers whose dogs love Nature's Blend, so I would like to get to the bottom of your situation right away. Again, please e-mail me at Kat@drmartypets.com and I will be issuing you a full refund while getting more information from you so I can investigate further. Thank you.

My labradoodle, Toby, loves this food! The ingredients are so healthy and the amount to feed him will keep him healthy and also help him lose some weight. HOWEVER, the cost is extreme and leads me to evaluate if I will continue to buy this food. I wish the cost were more reasonable since Toby would love to continue eating this delicious dinner each evening.

Dogs seemed to like it very well, however, with two dogs, I can't see myself spending over $1000 monthly to feed them. I love my boys, but they're not eating better than me! I believe the grain free food I currently feed them will be fine.

Hi Duane. I’m Kat with Dr. Marty Pets. We understand that using Nature’s Blend as the sole source for your dogs’ nutrition may be difficult for some. Many of our customer’s experience great results using Nature’s Blend as a supplement topper used together with their dog’s daily feeding regimen. Used this way, your dogs may still experience benefits from the high-quality ingredients used in Nature’s Blend. We also have just come out with our new delicious and nutritious Tilly’s Treasures Raw Beef Liver Dog Treats that can be used a special reward or occasional snack in your dogs’ current diet. Feel free to reach out to me at kat@drmartypets.com if you have any more questions or comments.

I have finally hit on a food that my 14 lb senior pup, Gracie, will gobble down, "unadorned" by sprinkled treats, white meat chicken pieces, broth, and any other favorite temptation! I slowly eliminated both dry and wet food and delicacies over a period of two weeks and kept holding my breath to see when she would recognize the absence of additions and changes. It never happened! Now, feeding time takes 5 minutes of prep time instead of 20, and she licks the bowl clean and wants more! I LOVE this food!
The only caveat, it's a BIG monthly expense increase for me. Hoping Dr. M will try to lower the price if the product takes off!
