Good Stuff
December 4, 2020

My Belgian Sheepdog was diagnosed earlier this year with Mast Cell Cancer at only 6 months old. I was desperate to try quality foods and reviewed Dr. Marty's ad and it appeared he has done extensive research finding the best possible ingredients. My dog has been on meds for 6 months as well as I feed her Victors dog food and a handful of your food mixed in. She loves your food and at times only eats Dr. Marty's and leaves her other food until she gets hungry again. The problem is as other customers have stated, it is very expensive to keep ordering and I am only giving her a handful twice a day and there is no way i could afford to only feed her Dr. Marty's. Belgians are extremely active, so i have no idea if the food helped her cancer or not. I wish they would sell much larger bags at discounted rates and I would only give her this food. Great stuff, dog loves it, but way to expensive, so i will probably start looking for a less expensive way to go. I don't have a photo, but i have purchased 9 bags so far.

I have a very picky eater who would rather get sick than eat something she doesn't like. Since feeding her with Dr. Marty's food, she licks the bowl clean and even checks around the bowl to make sure she's gotten it all. Since this, no more getting sick and no more worrying if she's getting all the nutrition she needs.

Like the food but...
December 3, 2020

I'm using this food as a topper and Ray (golden retriever) is doing really well on it. Unfortunately, since I live in Canada, with the exchange rate plus the custom fees (over 40.00) it is really out of my price range. Hoping you will soon have a Canadian distributor so I can think about buying this again without the added custom fees.

The best dog food ever
December 3, 2020

I have 2 dogs. A 19 year old chihuahua and 1 1/2 year old bulldog boxer mix dog. Both are very picky eaters but with this food they absolutely enjoy every bit of it. My older dog the chihuahua has arthritis and a sensitive stomach. This food has helped him so much that it feels like he's a puppy again. I highly recommend this food for your dogs. It's worth the price and wait.

My rescue pooch is a cockerpoodle. He saved me 4 years now. When his personality changed I took him to his vet. Turns out he has an inoperable mass inside. All his digestive system is pushed to one side. He loves this food, it's made it easy for him to eat and poop good.

I am using as a topper. Maya used to just let her food set, sometimes for a day. She now anxiously awaits evening goodtime and quickly empties her bowl. She seems to be happier, more playful and more affectionate. Maya is a 65 lb. female Akita.

Best food for a friend
December 2, 2020

Greetings everyone, my best friend Max 11years old
(Dachshund) tried Dr. Marty's food around 3 weeks ago and what a tremendous change in Max, as you said in your ad about your food, when you're dogs finished their food they kept checking their bowls for more and Max went back and forth looking for more food. He loves it, he has more energy, more alert, not begging, more spring in his step. Max had trouble 2x with his spine at 5 and 8 years old, I worked with him stretching and exercising his muscles along with 2 different medications after 2 months of rehabilitation he was able to walk again, both times, he developed a small curve when he walks, arthritis set in, but after eating this food he walks straight again the curve is gone and he runs around like a puppy again. Thank you so very much from Max and the Jastrzebski family ( stay safe)

Wagging tails
December 2, 2020

My dogs were so excited before I even had their meals prepared! They must have smelled it as I couldn't. LOL. They simply loved it and wanted more! They also seem to have more energy and look healthy! I have 3 Samoyed dogs. I wish I could afford to feed them this healthy diet instead of store bought food as they eat a lot between them and sometimes their sister which belongs to my daughter comes to play with her fur baby family. Thank you Marty for making this product possible for our precious pets! Much love, Shona Wright

Refused to cancel order
December 1, 2020

To start with, the ad doesn't tell you how big a serving size is. After I ordered I emailed customer service, for the extremely steep price, I was concerned about this. It turns out, if you have a medium sized dog, it's going to cost you well over $300/month to feed this regularly; and that's the promotion price. I asked them to cancel my order & they refused to do it. Now I'm going to have to pay the return shipping to get my refund back. The ad also says it is manufactured in small batches in Canada, but the reply email I got said be wise of the quantity they produce, they have to use different manufacturers. Kind of hard to have quality control with multiple manufacturers. There are so many other quality, raw dog foods to choose from gat won't make me have to get a second job to afford to buy it. Do your research; don't just buy it because Oprah used it.

Julie's response
December 2, 2020

Our companion (dog) Julie ( Siberian Husky/White German Shepherd mix about 50/50), is nine years old, and immediately took to the food. Love at first bite you might say. For subsequent meals I hydrated the mixture to various levels, and also mixed in some of her existing dry food initially( Blue Buffalo with the Wolf on the package, usually a salmon, venison mix). Positive responses.

Then I proceeded to use only the MartyMixture (M&M) The first few times she had difficulty getting all the M&M licked out of bowl pushing it all over the place to all the food out. Subsequently I mixed the M&M into small meatball/hamburger shapes. Suffice to say she wolfed them down with ease.

There have been some subtle changes in Julie's demeanour and other behavioural attributes. She does have a little more pep, so she is little less tired at the end of our daily walks. To say anything more at this time is presumptuous.

On another issue, I am trying to deal with Julie's foreleg gnawing. Just when I think things are on the up and up and significant scabbing has occurred if I miss bandaging the lg or putting a snow scone on her especially in the evening, the scabs disappear ( I don't consider this as all too unusual as I have picked at my own scabs when they felt too itchy, however, only at the last stages, I digress). I am sure there are some underlying issues here and I am obtain a copy of Dr. Marty's book on holistic tic approached to animal self healing.

In summary, I will be ordering more M&M as the initial response has been positive.

Sincerely,

JP Ratusz

Diamond My
December 1, 2020

Unbelievable, I've changed my dog food 4 to 5 different times and it took her a while to want to eat it this Dr Marty's dog food is amazing in the sense that I changed it right away as I added warm water to it she was so excited and she scarfed it all down and she loves it. Thank you so much Dr Marty for inventing this dog food to give in my dog the best nutrition that she could possibly have because as a dog owner I love my dog Diamond like she's my own daughter thank you so much Jimmy Warner

I thought I would try this food but really didn't think I would switch my two toy poodles food. They have been on the same food for almost 14 years! From the very first time they ate Dr. Marty's they have loved it! Not only is it good for them I have never seen them like something as much as they do this food. I would recommend this to anyone who loves their fur babies.

Picky no more!
November 30, 2020

We have two rescue dogs, a Husky Cross, Pitbull mix. We have been experimenting with additives to make their current food more appealing because of the Pitbull's allergies. Until we tried this product, dinner times were stress full for us all. The husky eats anything however the Pitbull is quite high-maintenance. When I read up on your product (which I must say came at a perfect time) it seemed like an excellent, healthy change for both dogs.
They only get a 1/2 cup with their meal but it's gone in moments and their patience have improved greatly as they await the 'slaking' period.
Thanks Doc, you've made a couple of dogs in Canada true believers.
Can I just say Dennis F, you're a moron. Why did your folks buy thousands of dollars of food for a 12 year old dog?
Cheers
Rudy, Canada.

Best dog food
November 30, 2020

Our dog loves her new Dr Marty's food, she sits and waits right there while I prepare it, and then it only takes a minute for her to clean the whole bowl. I've never had a food that my dog would wait for until it's set down!

Our 14 year old Maltese Has never eaten table scraps because she is very picky. We usually mix the dry blue buffalo life protection formula for senior dogs with the wet Blue New York strip flavored gravy delight, BUT we added the Dr. Marty premium freeze dried raw dog and she immediately loved it. She now eats all of her food and has gained a healthy weight.

My very picky Husky who often skips meals, turns his snout up at treats other dogs slobber after, and typically tires of a new brand of kibble after a couple of months, really seems to love Dr. Marty's freeze dried dog food so far. We've just finished two bags using Dr. Marty's as a topper, really hoping my dog will continue to love it. The food looks, smells, and feels fresh and like it would be so much tastier than just regular old dry kibble alone. Thanks, Dr. Marty!

Miracle dog food!
November 29, 2020

We have three dogs at home. They all enjoy Nature's Blend a lot. They can't wait everyday (twice a day) to savor their new Dr. Marty's recipe. Charlie, our golden doodle, does not hesitate anymore to eat his new recipe. Once the three dogs are fed, their bowls are perfectly cleaned up with no leftover marks of any sorts, lol. They don't eat canned food anymore. We are still mixing it with a bit of regular dried food. All is great, thank you Dr. Marty.
