Dr. Marty Nature’s Blend

My sister recommended Dr. Marty's dog food. It was hard to determine on the site how long a bag of food would last. I impulsively ordered 3 bags and was quickly upsold to 12 bags with an enticing one-time savings offer. The bill was over $500.

After the purchase, I did some more digging and discovered that for my 70 lb shepherd, ONE BAG would last ONE DAY. That translates to about $42.00 per day/$21.00 per meal! I do love my dog, but that is extreme.

I tried to cancel the order within 5 minutes but the big box still arrived. I was able to return the food, but it cost me $57.00 in shipping.

I'm sure it's fantastic food - just be aware that it will cost over $1200 per month to feed a dog over 60 pounds!

30 bucks for 16 oz? This is ridiculously high! They should be ashamed of themselves! I have a small dog, but he would finish one bag in 2 days. I can’t imagine if I had a big dog. This company claims it cuts out the middle man to keep the price down, yet is way more expensive than just about every dog food on the market. Even as a topper, it’s too much!

Consumer beware, be careful when you sign up to try this dog food. You will get on the hook for $80+ a month for 3lbs of food (your dog's food will become much more expensive than yours per pound, if you really love your pet, just buy them steak at $7 a pound or blueberries at $4 etc.) Companies that truly believe in their products do not need to force their clients to buy, their clients will do it willingly.

I gave them a 3 star because the dog liked the food. Of course he likes turkey, beef, salmon, sweet potatoes, egg, peas, etc., same food we eat, though our real food is much cheaper.

Suggestion, if you care about pets, for real, make food that real people (not just Beverly Hill people) can and should responsibly afford. Then those people will happily buy that food every month on their own, without needing to be coerced.

Given to us by a friend whose dog hated it, we tried it. Sorry but I cannot justify a house payment per month in dog food. I love my pets but there is no reason this food needs to be so cost-prohibitive. Would love to use it but with 2 big dogs I can’t do $1000+ a month for dog food. My family doesn’t spend that on human food.

I was sent a whole box, almost $300.00 I never ordered, beware of fraudulent advertising. My German Shepherd and Shih Tzu won’t touch it. The money-back guarantees are a joke, it costs so much to send back, it’s not worth it. Extremely expensive to return and they tried to offer me 40% off instead of sending it back. Very poor advertising and do not buy. You can buy raw foods at many places, even start at the store, but the mixing with purified water and waiting is a joke, on top of the price. My suggestion is don’t buy, your dog will hate it. Dr. Marty says you can use it as a topper over food but there are no directions on making different amounts. All I can say is I feel I was lied to. And deliberately fraudulent advertising, no cheap way to return, you’ll be stuck with food your dog won’t eat. I tried for weeks to mix with food or as a topper as he says, gradually introduce the dry mix.

My Aussie loves it...when I brought the box in and took a bag out she was very eager to have what was inside before the bag was open. She gobbles it up and gets excited now when I say, “Do you want your Dr. Marty’s now.” I feed her kibble in the morning and Dr. Marty’s for the evening meal.

My dog absolutely devours this! She hates kibble and was so happy and obsessed with this food. She got used to cooked food because of how picky she was so I didn’t expect her to go crazy for this but she sure did.

Great dog food, the best I have ever found. My Australian Kelpie is more alert, more in tune, and his coat has a beautiful shine. We don't use only Dr. Marty's but we cut it with other dog food otherwise we want to go broke, lol.

We got this 3 days ago and have introduced slowly as a '"topping" on regular food for our 3 mini schnauzers. They loved it, even my picky eater. However, my 14-year-old dog had very soft bowel movements and then diarrhea within an hour. This is a dog who has never had an accident in the house in her life and had 3 in one night. Tried it again and the same result. I will be returning. I'm sure it is a quality product but my senior dog cannot tolerate it.

I bought this product for my senior dog, he was beginning to put on some weight and was turning his nose up to his usual food so I began adding it as a topper. I mix it with a powdered raw food to mimic chunks and wet and he gobbled it up. I started using more Dr. Marty's and less dry kibble and now he is exclusively eating a raw/dehydrated/freeze-dried diet and thriving!

My 2 Yorkies simply love it. I've tried numerous brands with no luck. It smells good, easy to serve, and they are both in the best of health. If you can afford it, it's the way to go, you won't be disappointed!
