Dr. Marty Reviews

I bought a small bag of Nature's Blend for my picky senior dog and she loved it. I have not seen her eat like this in a long time. I was going to buy again for a second try to be sure this result was real and not just a new food favorite but my dog is on a special diet for urinary health due to crystals. I would like to see a Dr. Marty version for dogs with urinary issues in the future. I will be watching for it. Until then, it was good to see my dog enjoy her food even just the one time. Thank you.

Our dog eats it with no issues. It’s pricy but if it keeps her healthy it’s worth it. I feed Radiant Select.

Have been using for 2 years with my 80 lb mixed border collie and greyhound. He absolutely loves the food. Energy level is very high. We hike and he lives to run.

Buyer please beware!!! I had been feeding my toy poodle for one week came home and he had vomit and bloody diarrhea all over his crate. Brought him to vet and he had gastroenteritis. He has been having bloody diarrhea for five days now. Vet said if he doesn't get better in a few days to bring him back in for more tests. That was the only thing he ate that was different. In the garbage it goes.

I have not received my dog food. It was supposed to be here Sat. It's Tuesday. I emailed Dr. Marty's and asked for a refund. I never heard back from them. They could at least mail me a coupon or check. I will not buy from this man again. The company they used for shipping can't track it.

I bought Dr. Marty's cat food and followed the feeding instructions to the letter. Contrary to his claims, my cats both hated the food and wouldn't touch it. I tried mixing it with other foods, to no avail. I eventually wound up throwing away the remaining bags of food. Don't buy this product!

We have been a long time user of Dr Marty's and so we trust what we read...bad mistake. Their advertised policy has always been satisfaction guaranteed with either a 60 day or 90 day return period. So we ordered their doggie chews to help your dog's teeth (NOT MENTIONING IT WAS NOT THEIR PRODUCT!! SOME PHONY COMPANY NAMED HONEST PAWS) and after 3 tries we gave up and asked for a refund and their comment was, we only refund sealed containers...NOT DR MARTY'S POLICY...turns out it's a scam using Dr Marty's as a cover

Purchased at Pet Supplies so I could use a coupon due to expense, 2 Chi puppies would not touch it at first, then after eating just a little of the puppy food they both have runny, mucusy and bloody stool. Backed off and tried again. The same happened. Waiting to hear from the company for a refund but from what I have read here it looks like I will be *hit out of luck with the terrible customer service that has been reported.

I have three dogs, a Teacup Maltipoo (5lbs), a Pot Hound 28 lbs and a 55 lbs Pitt/Boxer/Border Collie Mix. The littlest one and the biggest one have had a lot of allergies and skin problems. I’ve tried the allergy injections (** I think it’s called) and oatmeal baths, all the sensitive skin brands of kibble like Purina Pro Plan and all the other fancy vet recommended ones. But my little dog was losing hair and lethargic all day, I’ve only been using this food for her by itself for about 2.5 weeks maybe 3 and she already has more energy and her skin and hair looks better and growing in thicker. My large dog is already scratching less and no longer licking her paws obsessively. My middle sized is just an old gal and I want to keep her healthy. But it was a whole vibe I’ve never seen before, 1 sec after the first bag was open they almost looked crazed like they had never seen food before.

I'll fall back. I ordered Dr Marty's food for my cats and they loved it.. I stopped ordering it and it's not a good thing. I really need to go back to ordering more. They do give me a good deal and I just at the time lost my hours at work so hopefully they'll give me a great deal again but my cats really, really liked it.. And when I called they were so nice to me explain everything and I'm just not had an experience like that with anybody so I'm going to make a call pretty soon and order some more food for my cats. I really love them very much. I just want them to be healthy. After all they are your pets that you love and want to take care of because really they have nobody else.. Thank you Dr Marty and staff ❤️💯

My 42 lb Australian Shepherd working dog loves Dr. Marty's but I can not get the company to stop sending me unrequested dog food that I did not order in spite of numerous emails and phone calls. This has gotten totally out of hand as I now have over 9 bags that I was charged for and did not request and I CANNOT get them to stop. Too bad because my dog likes their food. Now I have to find another food for him. This is unfortunate as he like the food.

My cat keeps vomiting from the Dr Marty poultry, and I'm not happy. We pay so much for this food, and it's not worth it.

My cats won’t eat Dr. Marty’s cat food. I tried to put it in their regular wet & dry food. They delivered 4 bags of different flavors but my cats wouldn’t eat any of them.

My 12 year old Yorkie liked this food one time. Now only eats late in the day if nothing else is available. But to be fair only been giving her 5 days.

I have been ordering Dr. Marty's dog food for years and the last two orders have not even been sent. No reason, no offer to replace the order for free, nothing! The food is good but for some reason the company can not get the orders delivered. Meanwhile, my dog has to eat another kind of food and get sick. The company doesn't care! Just offers to send out a new order that may not get delivered either. The food is VERY high priced so you would think they could at least get it delivered! But again, the company DOESN'T CARE!

Beware, if your dog doesn’t like the food, throws up as soon as he eats it and he really doesn’t like the smell, to return cost as much as the food. I was told rates to return were between $249-$50. And a doctor who’s made his money already, can even cover the return, that tells you something! A big waste of money, it already cost a lot, then you're out big bucks to return it!

I’ve recently seen adds for Yak chews on Dr. Marty’s website and emails that his site sends to me. Dr Marty recommends Yak Chews. Yak chews are the worst thing you can give your dogs. They are so hard and fracture, it’s like having your dogs chew on glass or concrete. Pieces can break off and splinter causing sharp pieces to cut the inside of their mouth and throat. The experience we have had is it also breaks their teeth. We have had 2 of our dogs actually break a tooth that had to be extracted while chewing on the concrete hard yak chews. Their tooth fractured and exposed the pulp.

So very expensive! I am a senior citizen on a fixed income. I am currently feeding eight cats, four of my own and four that were abandoned by neighbors who up and moved out and left them to starve. Unfortunately, due to the extremely high cost, I cannot possibly afford to keep feeding this cat food to my animals. And the streets that I have taken in. There must be something that could lower the cost of this. Somehow. It is just so overpriced.

I’m very disappointed with my experience, I purchased dog food from this company for $96, and unfortunately, my dog did not like it. She only ate about half of the first bag and refused to eat the rest, leaving two and a half bags unused. When I contacted the company, they gave me two options: either return the remaining food at my own expense or accept only a 30% refund. I chose to return the product, but it cost me $50 out of pocket just for shipping. In the end, I paid a significant amount just to return a product that didn’t work for my dog, while the company keeps the food and issues a refund. This feels unfair and not customer-friendly.

Murphy loves this food. He stopped eating his regular food if I didn't top it with Dr. Marty's Nature's Blend...now he eats his normal food as long as it's mixed with Dr.Marty's. I do not wet it..I just put it on top of his regular food. Scarfs up every morsel...Tilly's treats are the bomb.com....thank you Dr Marty...Murphy and I love love, love you.

First customer service is horrible, they all try to convince you to keep it and keep trying, our 13 year old poodle ended up with pancreatitis, she loves to eat anything. Now she is on a very strict and expensive diet, Our doodle will not even eat her food if I crush Dr Marty's and put it on. It's been over 39 days and I just want to return it. They do not cover the return fee but will offer 30% of what you paid for the food. It's not healthy for your babies as it contains fat. I would not recommend. My daughter is a vet tech and scolded me for buying this for our babies. They both are now on prescription food. :-(

My dogs had bad breath and bad digestion when using Dr. Marty’s Nature's Blend. It helped them get the nutrients they need. I could only afford to use this as a topper, but even a topper makes a difference. Both our 4 month old and 11 year old have no digestion issues or bad breath. Thank you.

I bought this based on a recommendation from Cesar Millan, and then from my friend who uses it. The bag of Essential Wellness is 33% crude fat!!! Unless your dog is a working dog or high energy, just way too much crude fat. I have an 8 lb Shih Tzu, and my research on this tells me that food is very bad for him. Even the small breed is 27%. For perspective, it should be as low as 15%, but maximum 20%. It makes me question whether Dr. Marty is actually a veterinarian, or if he just doesn't care. How could a legitimate veterinarian who cares about animals produce such an unhealthy product that can potentially make animals sick? And shame on Cesar Millan for promoting this.

The Nature’s Blend product is decent, and I would still consider purchasing it for him. However, the dental chews caused a very negative reaction - he became quite sick, was vomiting pieces, and stayed unwell for several days.

Recently, within the last couple days Dr Marty's has declined to accept Costco Visa cards for payment. After days of trying to renew my subscription I have had for over a year now, credit card charges used the Cost card have been declined. A Dr Marty representative confirms that this policy is in effect. So if you order with Dr Martys has been paid with a Costco Visa card and been declined, this is why.

Very expensive. And predatory company. So expensive for the amount of food you get. It's better to get a pack of chicken and boil it for your own dog food much cheaper. This company has no idea what it workers are doing. Mix boiled chicken rice and carrots for your dog cost you 12$ for 2 weeks and you as your love for your dog into it. Trust me Dr. Marty could care less about your pets. They only care about profit. Please stay away for your pet's health.

I bought Dr. Mary Nature's Feast Cat Food as I thought it might be healthier, as my cats are getting older, and are slightly plump. 1 cat ate a little, and will not touch it anymore. The other cat ate some, then threw up for about 15 minutes, the little she had eaten. I feed some stray cats and backyard wildlife as well: skunks, squirrels, possums, etc. They have eaten the other cat food I put out for them, will not touch this food. It is all that is left in the bowl. Have other experienced this same disappointment?

My Maltipoo Gidget was almost 14 when I started feeding her Dr. Marty’s Nature’s Blend dog food. I was feeding her Fresh Pet, but going to Colorado and was doubtful I was going to be able to find a refrierated food in the Rockies, so started transitioning her over to Dr. Marty’s about 3 weeks before my trip. Fresh Pet turned out to be available there, but Nature’s Blend was an unexpected godsend. Yes, it’s expensive, but oh, what a transformation in my dog. She had started to look old, but Dr. Marty’s began visibly turning the clock back within weeks. She started to look younger and healthier and, not a barker, would start to bark at me and jump up and down if I didn’t have her breakfast or dinner ready promptly at 9 am and 5 pm. She LOVED it.

I gave this review a 1 because I bought around $70 worth of cat food and my cat would not eat it so when I went to send it all back, found out they will not pay for the shipping. Therefore, it was going to cost me $50 to ship it back. Now I am stuck with it and out all that money. I got screwed and am a very pissed off consumer. 🤬

I have been so happy with the food. My dog absolutely loved it. He has passed and had to cancel my subscription. The agent was so empathetic and kind. I would recommend this to anyone with pets. Try it. They will love it!

We bought this thinking it would benefit our mix chihuahua’s diet and overall health. We were so wrong. My dog didn’t love it and after some time he was very reluctant to eat it. Then, he had a blood work done showing he was staying having kidney problems. This dog food was the only new thing we introduced to his diet, so we knew it was the culprit. I called to customer service. A very annoyed agent answered my call and didn’t care at all about what I had to say.

Sort of a ripoff because they sent $95 of product even though I had only ordered $35. I had to cover shipping to return - with signature that cost me $35 so I am out $35 and got nothing! Really disappointed because Cesar Milan pitched this on TV so I expected good faith. Return was easy but again, I'm out $35.

Poor communication, inaccurate and misleading website. For an expensive product, the service and customer experience is horrible. Not only that I never buy from them. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.

Don’t be misled. If Dr. Marty's dog food doesn’t agree with your dog they will only refund 30% of your money back if you choose to keep it. You pay shipping for a full refund. I should have known better than to order something so expensive thru Instagram. Read reviews.

I’ve been using Dr. Marty products for a little over three years now. The price just seems to keep going higher and higher. Today I went to order food and it was $67 for a 16 ounce bag of dog food. Unfortunately, I can no longer afford to buy Dr. Marty products. Choice filet mignon don’t cost $67 a pound. Fresh Atlantic salmon, does not cost $67 a pound about half of that. The pricing is just become ridiculous.

My dogs love! It's not so expensive if you order 6 bags at a time. I tried to go back to kibble but my dogs won't touch it after having Dr Marty's... so now I mix a little kibble in but they tend to just eat round the kibble unless they are super hungry.

At first I thought this product might be great. So I ignored my instincts and bought the introductory package of six bags. When they arrived, my dog, a miniature schnauzer, refused to eat it. He wouldn't take it in any form wet dry or as a treat. I kept trying all the different methods the company recommended to introduce the dog to this product. I finally gave up… However it was after the 90 day moneyback guarantee window. When I contacted Customer Service at Dr. Marty's, they flat out refused any kind of refund even if I agreed to return all the unused product. In retrospect, I would never ever recommend this product. It's a gimmick. And it's outrageously high priced. You can get healthy balanced dog food for 1/10 the price. Do not, I repeat do not be led by this schmaltzy come on by Dr. Marty himself. He's making millions, and his product is not worth that price!

I’m sorry I introduced my Golden Retriever to Dr. Marty’s dog food. She absolutely loves it! Numerous times during the day she will go up to the bag indicating she wants more! The downside for me is I know I can’t keep feeding her this food, due to the expense. I thought I would order it as a treat not expecting her reaction. I’m on a fixed budget relying on Social Security. My heart hurts seeing her enjoying something so much. If I could afford this she would get this food for the rest of her life!❤️

We've feed our pup Dr. Marty's for 4 years. He loves it. We feed half Dr. Marty and half Farmer's Dog. He could not be healthier. I don't understand the negative comments. Not all dogs like the same food. I also would like to know why Consumer Affairs listed "Only sells foods for dogs and cats" as a CON on the Dr. Marty's profile. How is that a negative? Is it a CON if a tire store does not sell cars?

The product itself is very good and my dog liked it. She suffers from multiple food allergies so it is tough to find one that works for her. The price is daunting and I can only feed a half portion each meal. What I really didn't like was the strong arm sales pitch you get from them. Telling you they could run out of product unless you become a member and subscribe. They also want you to sign up for their other services with the promise of additional discounts on the food. I don't debate the quality of the food but if you are a quality company this kind of behavior seems off to me. I will be looking elsewhere.
