What is Dr. Marty?

Dr. Marty offers food, treats and health supplements for cats and dogs. Dr. Marty’s pet food is freeze-dried raw, which means no important nutrients are lost from cooking at high temperatures.

Dr. Marty’s supplements are available in either chewable or powdered forms. These can help with your pet’s:

  • Gut health
  • Skin irritation from allergies
  • Hip and joint mobility
  • Immune system

How does Dr. Marty work?

Dr. Marty’s products are available to purchase online or in-store. You can use Dr. Marty’s store locator to find your closest retailer.

Dr. Marty’s pet food can be ready to serve out of the bag, but the company recommends that you get your pet used to the new food by replacing portions of their regular food with Dr. Marty’s food over time. It’s also important to serve the recommended portion relevant to your pet’s weight and combine it with the recommended amount of water if your pet prefers wet food.

Some supplements also require time to introduce your pet to the formula. For example, Dr. Marty recommends starting with a small amount of Pro Power Plus formula and working up to a full serving over 10 days. Your pet may experience tummy trouble as bacteria is kicked out of their system, but this should only last two to three days. The cat version of this product, Feline Prime, also requires a transition period.

Be sure to read the instructions for each product label or download the product guide online from Dr. Marty’s website. If you don’t see an improvement in your pet’s health, you have 90 days to return the unused amounts of pet food or supplements. Consult with your vet if any problems persist.

    My dog is a senior dog and very picky. I ordered Dr. Marty's in the hope that he would like it. I crumbled a few pieces in his regular food to get him started. He ate quite a bit of his food for a change; so I guess he liked the flavor. HOWEVER, within 30 minutes he threw up all over the floor. There couldn't have been anything left in him. So, the food is going in the trash. Be warned; it's an expensive experiment for your dog.

    I purchased a sample bag of Dr. Marty's freeze dried dog food for my dog. My dog came down with a very severe case of diarrhea and required staying at our Vet's hospital on IVs & doing X-rays for 24 hours! Costing us over $1300.00 dollars!

      Wish I read reviews before I ordered from them on line. Worst customer service ever. I have 2 Chihuahua mixes and have tried almost every food on the market. One of my dogs has allergies that really affect his quality of life, skin itching, licking and hives. Would do anything for my dogs and when he responded positively to Dr. Marty's, that was all I was gonna buy. Went to the website. Started a subscription to be sent to monthly, I couldn't have been happier. But then for the next 9 months, EVERY MONTH, there was an issue. They would send me an email that there was a problem with my payment, I would call and they would have me give them another form of payment. There would be something wrong with that payment the very next day.

      Customer service when you called would just take more forms of payment. Never really resolved issue. So, now they had 4 or 5 of my credit card numbers and I still couldn't get the food. Was told twice to cancel & restart subscription, this didn't even help. Finally, just called and canceled subscription. Very disappointed that they really DON'T CARE. Hope no one ever uses website.

      Every shipment went to wrong address. Fortunately, there is photo evidence from their delivery service to prove my claim -- 3x in a row my shipment has ended up at a different address. For the amount of money this food costs, this is completely unacceptable. They just keep reshipping the order and it never gets here. Offering a reshipment is pointless if you can't guarantee it's going to get here. A refund is obvious but the company should be doing better, especially for the high cost of the food and the reputation of Dr. Marty himself.

      I have two large dogs. 65 and 75 pounds. To replace 1/4 cup for each the cost was over $60 a month. We tried to sustain this cost but can't do it. I tried to see if we could lower the costs, customer service said we had the best price, really tried to do the 'right' thing by our dogs. Such a shame.

      My dogs absolutely love this food.. but the customer service is awful. They constantly deliver to the wrong address and then weeks go by before they respond to any inquiries on your delivery. You have to chase them for service. It’s unfortunate but it’s that bad so beware not to order online from their site.

      I just today 12/06/2024 watched the Video regarding his pet food products for cats. I just read that he is deceased. How can these videos legally be advertised. Is it now his family's business? His video I think should be updated.

      The food is amazing, but I can’t recommend their service. Customer service has very little they can do if there’s a delivery problem, and will not contact the carrier to resolve it. My dog is now suffering from having to change her diet again. 14 days ago I placed an order, it’s still not here, tracking says allow 48 hours to process, for over a week after the original misdelivery on the 15th of this month, my dog is 15 years old and after improving dramatically from this diet, she is now rapidly going downhill. It’s over $50 a bag total cost at the local stores, one bag lasts 4-6 days. I’m in disbelief that nobody at Dr Marty will help me resolve this issue. I have two miracle stories, one a cat, and my dog. Both are in going in the wrong direction now, I had to take my dog to the vet as a result of suddenly having to change her diet, to a much less quality food.

      It’s such an easy issue to resolve so I don’t understand why they would allow this to happen. It feels like they really don’t care about my dog's health. My trust in them has dropped considerably. For me it’s hard to say it’s worth the risk of trusting this company with my dog's healthy diet. It’s like buying a super car, that came with used flat tires and a fuel tank full of water. I’ve waited 2 weeks, and they still won’t call me, or their carrier. Their customer service doesn’t even know who the carrier is, they given me several different incorrect stories and phone numbers that were supposed to be the carrier. None of the phone numbers provided are the carrier, which if I could just speak to, this issue would get resolved in less than 1 minute, so it does not make sense that they won’t help me resolve the issue.

      I listed my address with the exact location on line 2 of the address, but they do not provide that part to the carrier. It’s just unbelievable! It is a very high end expensive product, but it’s like words that are not supported by actions, pointless, meaningless, and potentially harmful. It’s not good to keep changing a very elderly dog's diet, and they know that!

      A year ago, I started my dog on Dr. Marty dog food. The ad said that it would help with the itchiness and his coat. However, this is not true. When I called the company, they said that I should put them on one of their supplements. The dog food is $100 a month. The supplement is another $42 a month. They do have some guarantees, but I’m not willing to sell out more money to find this out. There’s so many really good dog foods out there. I think I’ll try another brand.
