Old and happy

By Bonny L., Rancho Mirage, CA, Verified Reviewer

My dog Polly will be 19 years old next month. Her younger sister was 15 when she passed away last May. Polly started to not eat the food we had given her, her entire life and I thought, "oh no," she is on her way to join her sister in doggy heaven. That same day there was a pop up on my computer about Dr. Marty's food. I watched the entire video and almost did not order the food when he said, "the hardest part of your day will be the three minutes you have to wait to re-hydrate the food." I thought to myself, that is crazy! Well, I have to tell you that he was right. My 18-year-old dog screams at me to feed her! It is really true and absolutely amazing but I think my 18-year-old Polly may go another 18 years so she can continue to eat Dr. Marty's food.

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

Expensive

By Srtanley L., Pacifica, CA, Verified Reviewer

My 90lbs Shep/Lab mix LOVES the food. However, I find it's much too expensive to feed him on a daily basis.

Being retired, my budget is more in line with Purina Dog Chow!

But he does love the food!

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

Dr. Marty's food is NOT GOOD for all dogs!

By Michelle B., Illinois, Verified Reviewer

Dr. Marty's food is NOT for all dogs.

My 12.5 pound, 11-year-old Havanese got bladder stones from this food. She had been in the vet for constipation in March and had x-rays and my vet went back to see there was nothing in her bladder at that time. I started Dr. Marty's food in April 2019. On July 31st she kept squatting to urinate and could not stop the urge. I took her to the emergency vet. She was in distress. She had a bladder full of stones that were removed the next morning. This was close to $5000. She will be on urinary tract vet prescription diet for the rest of her life to avoid this happening again.

I put her on this food after listening to Dr. Marty's talk online about how this food can extend their lives. Lulu was a puppy mill mom for 8 years and has been with me for 3 years. I knew she was treated poorly in the puppy mill. I wanted to extend this sweet dog's life for as long as I could. Dr. Marty's high protein, raw diet almost killed her! The treats, freeze-dried organ meat/beef liver helped cause the stones to form.

I give this product zero stars.

The company was extremely polite. I was going to have to return the food and pay for the return. I asked to speak to a manager and he told me that I am credited for all of it and I can throw it away, I do not have to return it. I have 3 unopened bags from my auto order. My husband wanted me to donate the food to our local shelter and I decided I can not ever give this food to any dog. I am going to throw it all in the garbage, along with the bag of treats I have left.

This is another lesson for me to stop listening to what people/doctors say online.

I am writing this review to stop others from trying this diet and causing damage to their dog!

I give this food zero stars.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very small quantity of product for a lot of money, very disappointed.

By Shelley F., Pine, CO, Verified Reviewer

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.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Saved our sanity

By Rhonni M., Mount Pleasant, SC, Verified Reviewer

My year-old Cavachon puppy was making monthly trips to the vet. His stomach was very sensitive and he frequently would vomit and suffer with diarrhea for days, he would get listless and dehydrate. He was surviving on antibiotics and super probiotics. Then we discovered Dr. Marty's food. He didn't like it at first, we had to doctor it up with homemade bone broth and a bit of crumbled chopped meat. It was like an off switch. He is 2 years old now, he hasn't vomited in a year, he has puppy energy and his stool only gets soft if and when he gets into goose poo. He now loves his food, feels good all the time and (by the way) no longer chews his feet.

HORRID Customer Service!

By Donald W., Texas, Verified Reviewer

You will NOT get your money back if you don't like this product, or even if you don't want this product. I sent this company 3 emails to support@drmartypets.com and told them NOT to ship this product. They shipped the product anyway and charged my credit card. I am returning the product. I called their customer service line and was treated like I was stupid or less than by a RUDE woman. They are refusing to refund my money. I will not let this go. I want my money back.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Won’t stop throwing it up

By Jennifer H., New York, Verified Reviewer

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.

My girl loves it

By Debora S., Hollywood, FL, Verified Reviewer

My 80 lbs Doberman ruby love it and her skin is clearing up. But I live on Social Security and can't afford it. Even mixing half and half with her regular food a bag only last 5 days. It would get 5 stars if it was more affordable.

Don't think you'll get all your money back...YOU WON'T.

By Beki A., Illinois, Verified Reviewer

BUYER BEWARE.

I wasn’t sure if my 2 senior dogs could eat this food, especially when one is diabetic so I sent in a question to Dr. Marty’s email and I also asked if they had a lower cost for senior citizens or for disabled because the cost of this food is out there! But I wanted my picky babies to try it. I waited a few days and their answer was "ask your vet" and "no we do not have a lower cost for Senior citizens or the disabled." (That was a lot of help.) Next, I did ask my vet and she said the ingredients look good but we’d have to try it out. So I ordered it. I wanted 1 bag to start with but got caught up in the frequent pop-up offers of "get 3 more bags for $74.85" and "Get it now this is a 1-time offer." Well, after the constant pop-up I said, well, I'll get it...maybe the boys will love it.

I'm telling you, DON’T do it! If your fur babies like it and you sign up for updates, you’ll get offers via email for discounts.

Days went by...I emailed asking where my order was (my credit card was charged right away but no info on the food!). I finally got the order. Went to read instructions which stated mix with water and how much, but it didn’t say you have to wait x amount of minutes before serving. I was wondering about that because somewhere on the website (which needs A LOT OF WORK BTW!), I either read or heard on a video to wait 3 minutes but was looking for those instructions which were NOT ON THE BAG! (Don’t you think that’s important?)

Sorry to say after 4-5 tries, my 2 dogs DID NOT LIKE IT! So I looked up the process of sending it back...WELL, don't think you'll get all your money back...YOU WON’T!

I saw on the reviews (should have look at these beforehand) how many people were complaining about getting their money back or that they send the food back and were not getting their refund. So I called, explained the situation requested a refund.

Was informed of the amount I was getting back does not include the shipping I initially paid for! What?? (What was I thinking? Clearly this was not Amazon where you request a return…they email the box label for the return, you DO NOT PAY SHIPPING, you get your refund right away and you can even have UPS pick it up at your house.)

Not only was I not getting the shipping I paid for, but in addition, I would have to pay for the return shipping at my expense (more money lost!). And to top it off, they DO NOT EVEN EMAIL YOU A SHIPPING LABEL as a convenience. I was told in a tone I did not appreciate, "well, you have to write the address on your own, we do not send labels." By this time I was mad, not getting a refund on what I totally paid, then I have to pay to send the food back and no labels provided.

BUT GET THIS - I was offered only 40% back as a refund if I wanted to keep the food. All I said was NO! I can do the math on that and will lose more! 40%? What are they thinking?

BEWARE.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

2 and 1/2 pound Yorkie with pancreatitis

By Betty M., Versailles, IN, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

My rescue pup loves it.

By Becky T., Littleton, NC, Verified Reviewer

My Beagle-Chow mix came from a shelter and is incredibly independent. She's sweet and loving, but won't come in the house until she's good and ready - which is usually after full dark. If I try to catch her she laughs and runs away.

She's a smart dog, and treats do not entice her - she's wise to that trick. Well, she was. This food is the only thing that overrides her sense of self-preservation. No more whining and jumping away - if I toss a piece out to her and put a few more in the bowl she comes right in.

Meals are gobbled down, and extra tidbits ensure that I get to sleep when I'm ready, rather than when she finally runs out of critters to chase. Thanks Dr. Marty; my dog loves her nutritious food, and I love having something to lure her into the house with!

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