Dr. Marty Nature’s Blend

I have a 14-year-old female, long-haired, short-legged Jack Russell. She has cataracts and has been declared legally blind, which I agree is probably true. Her daily routine is, to wake up and scratch and lick, go out, continue to scratch and lick her private parts, have a pill, calm down and sleep until lunch. Go out, have a bit of lunch, scratch and chew a bit and go back to sleep. Wakes up for dinner, loves your food, goes out, starts scratching chewing an licking, has another pill, crashes until going out one last time and then going to bed. Some night she fine and some nights she scratches and chews herself to sleep. The pill she takes is Apoquel, I was hoping after switching her to your food I could ween her off of the Apoquel. The cost of her Apoquel and your food are roughly the same. Bella’s stool was firm before starting on Dr. Marty’s and after a month is still not as firm as it was prior to starting. Her coat looks thicker and better and the growths on her skin seem to be clearing up and going away. All in all, she does seem to be more calm and content, which I like. I’m going to give it a few more months, but the jury is still out on this one.

I read about Dr. Marty and the food products he developed online and thought maybe this would help my Buster. Buster is an active 9-year-old Boston Terrier. He is so active people have a hard time believing he is 9!

Buster has always had a skin problem and I have tried various foods, shampoos, skin treatments and of course, medications that my vet has prescribed. He seems to always get it bad in the early fall when the leaves start falling off the trees. He gets bumps and pimples, is itchy and starts to smell really bad.

So I started him on Dr. Marty's food, 1/4 cup as it is so expensive!

Buster loves it, however, after one bag of food I have not seen or smelled a difference in him.

So today I have gone to 1/2 cup and am hoping this will help. I have 1 and 1/2 bags remaining which I hope will be enough to see and smell a change. If it works I will be buying more.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

My dogs simply love this food, as soon as I open the bag they come running. I find it convenient, simply add water. Easy to bring along.

The only drawback is it's expensive getting it from California, with customs it gets to be almost as expensive as filet mignon.

In August my French Bulldog turned a year old, and I discovered your pet food about that time. She loves it. She returns to lick the bowl clean. I love the fact that it's all natural and I feel good feeding her that food versus the processed kibble.

About mid-June, I noticed she began licking her paws a LOT. They appear a little red between the pads. I've been treating her with some home remedies which don't seem to be helping yet. A couple of weeks ago I noticed some bumps appear under her fur, mostly on her torso. They have disappeared but then return. So, I suspect allergies and will take her to the vet if she doesn't clear up soon.

My sister wonders whether the change in dog food caused this. I do not think so, unless there is a possibility that she is allergic to one of the ingredients. I suspect something outside like pollen, and don't know for sure because I didn't have her during these hot summer months last year.

Izzy has dropped about half a pound since being on your dog food. She has an abundance of energy and is happy and playful. Thanks for what you do.

I originally bought Nature's Blend in August in hopes of helping my dog, Sirus, diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer called hemangiosarcoma, basically a cancer of the blood vessels, he was given 30 to 300 days life expectancy.

I also just recently (in June) lost one of my pack to severe pain and crippling from arthritis she was 16 and my 6-year-old, Daisy, was showing signs of degenerative arthritis as well, plus, she was diagnosed with borderline renal failure from NSAID use in an effort to manage her pain.

Needless to say, I was devastated at the thought of losing another pack member possibly 2 with only one dog, 4-year-old Willow, that so far is healthy.

All my dogs are rescues. All 3 dogs absolutely love Nature's Blend, including the liver treats.

Very quickly Sirus showed signs of increased energy, almost to the point of being obnoxious wanting to play ball (I forgot to mention he also fights a severe case of Valley Fever) very soon after starting Nature's Blend.

Daisy has more good than bad days and her renal function has improved to normal levels all without any pain meds.

Willow now hurries to her bowl to eat where in the past she would wait for the others to eat first, she is eager to get her share.

I cannot afford to feed them only Nature's Blend so I've been using it as a topper on their grain-free limited ingredient food as Sirus has multiple allergies and skin issues along with his other health problems. Nature's Blend seems to be helping decrease his itching.

Sirus is being treated for his cancer and Valley Fever, however, I'm sure what he eats has made a huge difference, even the sores on his nose are healing and he hasn't bled from the sores above his eyes since starting Nature's Blend.

I know we won't win this fight with cancer but I'm thankful for every day that passes with him enjoying life.

Thank you Dr. Marty.

We have just started introducing our girl, a 4-year-old border collie/blue heeler mix breed gradually to Nature's Blend dog food. We just started two weeks ago and we have already noticed how nice and soft her fur is. "Star" has more energy and more alert. Her stool is firm and looking better. She loves this new food and can't wait for my husband to feed her on time.

We will continue feeding her this new diet to help her to diminish her scratching and chewing on her fur which may be due to allergy.

We're glad we stumble upon Dr. Marty's Nature Blend on the internet. We are happy with the result so far and we're sure there will be more positive outcomes in the future.

Thank you, Dr. Marty.

I feel this is a good product, but Yorkies are finicky eaters and Teddy will turn his nose and walk away from this food at first and then with a little coaxing he then resigns himself to eating this. I wonder if it is the lack of smell.

I started using your product because Teddy was diagnosed with severe allergies and had breakouts on his skin like acne. He had to have antibiotics and Apoquel to get rid of the reaction on his skin. He also sneezes a lot. The vet had him use a hydrolized food for two months but he turned his nose to that food too.

He is allergic to every type of protein source (chicken, beef, fish, duck venison, turkey, etc.), the only protein source that worked for him was beef liver according to the allergy test. As well as his allergies include rice, yeast, flaxseed, potatoes, etc.

I was not sure your food would work but I have given him only this food for one month and he has had no outbreaks. I just am not sure how to get him to like eating it because he will walk away from it. Also, he only eats 1/4 cup twice a day so the bag lasts a long time.

I hope Teddy likes this and will stay eating this because I am running out of ideas of what to feed him besides cooking for him myself and then I am not sure he gets the nutrients he needs. He seems much healthier and his coat is shiny again and not dry his eyes are tearing less so I feel this is working.

After feeding Addy your food for about a week or so all of the diarrhea stopped and she has also quit eating grass. She also has more energy although she has slowed down because of her age. Thank you for your food.

Our two dogs, sisters who share an on-demand food station, took two days to renegotiate their eating etiquette after Dr. Marty's first bags arrived. Only when they realized this was not a temporary treat did the settled back into their routine.

The larger, with a history of incessant skin rashes exacerbated by two dogs licking at them, saw her hot spots clear in about 10 days of Marty's - both dogs are sparing of the kibble now.

Getting the water content right for our dogs' texture palate wasn't much of an issue, but affects the speed of ingestion.

From the first bowl my dog loved this food, I give it to her twice a day, morning and evening. I've never seen her eat dog food so fast.

She has been eating it for over a month or so and she seems healthier. I wish I could say she isn't as neurotic as she was, but maybe she always will be. She has PSD from being in the pound for 6 weeks.

My dog buddy really likes your dog food, he can't wait until mealtime and gobbles it right down. I have used it as a meal topper and a complete meal, he likes it either way, I will be back for more dog food and your products soon, wish you offered this food in a larger bags these small bags go pretty fast and the cost is pretty high for us. I have recommended your dog food to a couple of friends who have dogs that are real finicky about what they eat, they are curious to see if their dogs would like your food also.
