My dog loves the Cod crisps. I also got the 4 in 1 dental care but those give him loose stools. Not sure if I need to give him regularly to get used to but I felt daily was too much. Overall I am happy with the products as he likes them all.

Annie likes Cod Crispies just fine but haven't given her much lately since we are going heavy on Tillies Treats which she is absolutely hooked on. Still have part of a bag of the cod so will shift gears for a little bit for the time being to give her some variety. But she wolfs the cods right down as with everything else we get from you.

My title goes with the song "Who Let the Dogs Out". I started singing it after my babies devoured their first bag of Dr. Marty's dog food. I tried one and immediately had to order another bag, then I subscribed. My girl is so finicky that I can't get her to eat EVEN roast beef most of the time. My boy just lost his eye and was very lethargic and sad. I didn't even think they would look at it but, I just put it down like I would a treat and didn't say anything, when I looked back it was ALL gone. I'm so grateful for your help because I was at my wits' end trying to get her to eat. I was so afraid they wouldn't get the vitamins required for them. I just wish you would make a bigger bag that's in between the size. I could afford it. My dogs are now in your capable hands, thank you so so much, and thank you for making it affordable. I have peace of mind now.

Our 8 1/2 fully grown 2-year-old poodle enjoys eating the Nature's Blend biologically balanced nutrition dog food for small breeds. This is a new food for our dog so we introduced it slowly over a three-week period so her stomach and digestive system would have the chance to properly get used (adjusted) to it. This particular food can be given and prepared in three different ways, so it gives the dog some variety (wet or dry). It can be used as a starter as well. My wife and I are very glad that we went ahead and made our original purchase of 3 bags of the Nature's Blend for small breeds.

My rescue dog is extremely picky & literally will not eat dry dog food, but he will eat the whole bowl of cat food in a second. He will only eat if I have Dr. Marty's food. Unfortunately, I can not afford to only feed him Dr. Marty's only so He gets half of Dr. Marty's & half of a high-quality dry food with freeze-dried salmon pieces in it & of course grain-free... Before Dr. Marty's food, I was feeding him raw food, but he changes his mind too often about what he will eat & what he won't eat. I do still have to cook up a piece of Cod or shrimp, scallops or something like that in order for him to eat his food. But he will only eat the seafood I cooked for him if I run out of Dr. Marty's food. I love this food.

Dr Marty's dog food is amazing. My finicky pooch gobbles it up. She's older now and had lost interest in eating until we tried Dr Marty's. She loves it and is now back to eating again.

I have very finicky kitties. I ordered all three flavors of food and treats. They love them all! My fat kitty is satisfied and has lost weight! I hear kitty's will eat more if they aren't getting the proper nutrients. Both kitties are happier and not always bugging me for more food or treats! My female has lost over a pound She was so fat she would fall over backwards with hind legs in the air.. She was a big fluff ball She was sooo cute but I worried all the time because I knew she was too fat and it was going to kill her!
I can't express how relieved I am knowing my kitties are healthier and happier. The old store bought stuff often made them sick and since switching they have not been sick~ Also they play a little more! I feed them the food dry most of the time but I also add water and make gravy for them when I feel like they want a change. They have not gotten tired of the food or treats so we are happy. I do wish they had Trout flavor food or treats that used to be their favorite! I don't think they miss it because they are loving what we have now but it would be nice having another go to. As happy as I am with Dr. Marty's and always telling everyone I know how great this stuff is I don't know why more don't switch. Out of everyone I have told only two have tried it... Their kitties loved it too and they are having same results from their kitties.

I let my dog try a friend’s dog food from your company. She would not even try it. I would even give it another try, however the price is outrageous high. You talk about how you care about animals, etc. what about the class of pet owners who would love it but cannot afford it. Pets live for years eating grocery bought dog food. Why can’t you make it affordable to everyone?? Mamie

I started with Nature's Blend as a topper to my dog's regular food... In part to see how she'd like it, and in part because it is quite costly. She had been experiencing some allergic type behaviors, which seem to have calmed down quite a bit since I've been increasing the quantity of Nature's Blend. I now give her 1 cup of Nature's Blend with 2 cups of her regular food, and she is enjoying her meal time. One thing I have noticed as an aside, is that she does seem to poop on more of our walks than before starting with Nature's Blend. Not a problem, just an observation. I do recommend Nature's Blend, but for financial reasons alone, I will continue to combine it with her other natural food.

My pup has suffered with paw licking and hair loss and developing sores on his paws since before he was 2 years old. At first it seemed seasonal. As each year has passed the problem was becoming constant. He is now 6+ years old. We started cooking his food at home using human foods when he was around 3 years old. Attempting to stay away from commercial dog food because of all the horrible and unknown things in it and hoping to eliminate the cause. We cooked ground turkey added fruit, veggies and fruits. Yet the problem continued. Monthly vet visits, steroid shots and oral steroid pills, creams, shampoos...you name it, we have tried it! It has been Very expensive monthly, and terribly hard to watch our fur baby suffer.
Fearful of the damage of constant use of medications on him and he was getting fat. We became concerned that possibly cooking for our pup that he may be missing needed nutrients and not getting a balanced healthy diet. He really looked like he didn't feel well at all. He was still getting commercial dog treats and such. Frustrated, exhausted and fearful of losing my beloved pup I opted for expensive allergy testing at the same time I ordered Dr. Marty's Dog food. I wanted to make sure I wasn't feeding him something he was allergic to.
I had watched the Dr. Marty video several times and decided to give it a shot. My pup is only allergic to rag weed per the blood work testing. He is not allergic to any foods. The Dr. Marty food arrived quickly. My dog was excited before I got the bags out of box. It was like he could smell the goodness. He was so excited when I gave him a cup dry just to try it out. Barking and dancing around and practically grabbing the food bowl from my hand. I was excited that he was excited. He loved it, a lot! His paws are clearing up. His energy levels are increased. He looks happier and healthier. He has a sparkle in his eyes. He is losing the excess weight!
We are going to continue with Dr. Marty's food. We give him a cup for breakfast and top his home cooked meal with a cup of it. Our pup is 70 pounds. (Recommended 3 -3.5 cups per day for his weight) Doing it this way I am able to make 6 bags of Dr. Marty's food last a month and ensure my dog is getting his much needed nutrients. We couldn't be happier with the results was are seeing and we are just finishing out 1st month's supply! I am impressed with this dog food and the changes I have seen in my dog in such a short time!! I feel so much better seeing my dog thrive and heal. I highly recommend Dr. Marty's freeze dried food! You won't regret it! Thank you Dr. Marty, for loving my pup as much as I do! (P.S. I do not usually write reviews)

My grand-cat is in Malaysia and yes, I bring Nature’s Feast (all 3 flavors) all the way from the US whenever I return to Malaysia. My Sushi loves his new food addition so, so much that I enjoy every moment of feeding him all the time. Although Nature’s Feast is not replacing his main meal, but it definitely adds significant taste and beneficial nutrition in every meal. The way I serve it, I crumble the pellets (the amount based on the recommended serving), and top it up with his wet food before mixing them together. He always licks his bowl and spoon clean! He loves his gourmet meals so much, he can’t stick to his 3 main meals a day; because he always asks for more! I believe in Dr Marty’s formula, thus, I have no hesitation to feed Sushi more than I used to. Thanks, Dr Marty!

Even though we kept cutting back on food in an effort to help my Rottweiler lose weight, she kept gaining. The vet was about to start testing her thyroid and possibly put her on meds. The weight also was hard on her joints and she wore out quickly at the park. Most people thought she was much older than she is. But after trying this food, she has more energy and is finally losing weight. She gets all excited for her dinner now like I am giving her treats instead. I am excited to see visible weight loss and she is much happier too.

Cookie is an 18 lb Boston Terrier I rescued three years ago. I changed her food to Dr. Marty as soon as she came home. But recently I noticed that her fur was not as shiny and seemed very dry. She always wanted her back scratched and the dander that produced was awful. So, I tried Shine and Luster as a last resort before taking her to the vet. In a week, I noticed a considerable difference. The dander seemed to be disappearing! And now, several weeks later, it is all but gone and her black coat is shiny, sleek, and soft! It’s hard to believe the difference. I am so pleased because I know she is much more comfortable!

My dogs love this food so much that we use it for training. We're a multi dog family with different sized dogs. For our smaller dogs, I felt it was important that their training treats also created a balanced diet.

The fact that they love this stuff is an even bigger bonus!

Glad this brand exists. We’ve had a string of experience with rescue cats and with the health effects that come from them having missed vaccinations and poor living conditions can play out for a lifetime. I try to help them build up reserves of good health to avoid the “typical” problems we’ve experienced with these cats as they get older: kidney issues, dental problems, and sadly lymphoma and other cancers. Some were exposed to diseases that caused dental problems early on and other digestive problems from illness caused by Giardia and the like. Feeding a higher quality food is a way to invest in their bodies' natural ability to heal itself. So I look at the expense of a better food as a kind of up front insurance policy.

I have 4 Australian shepherds, Harlee (8), Watson (7), Biscuit (2) and Jax (2). Since I got Biscuit and Jax at 9 weeks old their poops were always ploppy. I tried adding granual types of supplements that said it would help their gut which would also change the consistency of their poops. Everything I tried never made a difference. I changed can food and kibble too with either no change or making things worse. I was constantly looking on the internet at options when I came across Dr. Marty's Natures Blend Essentials.
Due to financial reasons I had to decide that I couldn't afford to use Dr. Marty's food for Harlee and Watson. Because Biscuit and Jax had the gut issues I wanted to try the food for them. I would love to use Dr. Marty's food as their main source of nutrition but again due to financial reasons my plan was to only use half of the suggested feeding amount. I supplemented the remaining calories and nutrition with fresh human grade food along with vitamins and supplements. The boys have been on this recipe for one month and their poops are now formed and firm. I saw a change around week 2 and it continued to get better each week thereafter. I would love to be able to feed this to my senior dogs, Harlee and Watson.
I can't say enough great things about Dr. Marty's food. All the ingredients are wholesome ingredients. Biscuit and Jax love meal time. I add the freeze dried food into their bowl with the other ingredients, add a little unsalted broth and stir. They love it!!! There isn't anything in the food that doesn't belong. As my husband says, "the dogs eat better than I do".

Purchased a bag of dog food 8 days ago on line. They advertise shipment in 24 hrs and delivery 2-7 days. They are also to notify when shipped via email. I've received NOTHING. Contacted them thru chat to cancel order and was told my order was not in a "closed" status so they could not cancel or refund my money. They offered a lousy 30% refund instead. One CS rep said they had no product in their warehouse due to high demand. Chat session rep said it's always in stock and will ship soon. Obviously these people are trained to lie to customers. Here we are 8 days after they took my money ($38 for smallest bag for a one time purchase) and it's still not shipped!
Consumers beware because you WILL be ripped off. And because I need a quality dog food (which I thought this was) I researched and found "Badlands," you can buy direct from them or thru Chewy. Ordered yesterday morning thru Chewy and it's delivering today! Excellent service! Avoid Dr Marty at all costs. My dog is more valuable to me than supporting companies that overcharge for a product they can't or don't care to deliver. So much for believing this guys' hype about a quality product.

My cat has eaten a variety of cat foods over the years from the cheapest discount store brands, to the expensive Vet recommended brand. I received Dr. Marty's cat food yesterday. I prepared a little and offered it to him, but he didn't even get near the bowl. Sort of sniffed and walked away. I decided it might be better to give him a nice fresh bowl for breakfast, first thing this morning, since he's always hungry at breakfast.
I followed the directions exactly. Pouring warm water over the food and stirring until it was absorbed. It smelled really weird. I let it sit for a bit to see if the texture and smell improved, then presented it to my cat in his usual bowl, in his regular eating spot. He completely rejected it. I decided to leave it, thinking he would get hungry enough to give it a try. He received no other food or treats throughout the day. He never touched it. Finally, he was crying so loudly that I gave in and poured him a bowl of his "old" food, which he immediately inhaled like he was starving. Dr. Marty's got 4 paws down here.
