I have 2 Pomskies. One is newly 2 years old and one will be 1 year old in 2 days. They have eaten Royal Canin dry food since the breeders. I have been using Dr. Marty’s raw for about a month. I mix it half and half with Royal Canin. After a week (and they were on a 1/3 Dr. Marty’s and 2/3 Royal Canin), they both stopped rubbing their muzzles and scratching their ears and licking their paws as much. The vet says they both have seasonal allergies and she said to give Zyrtec twice a day. After seeing how great Dr. Marty's food was helping with allergies, I cut Zyrtec to once a day when I increased food ratio to 50:50. Not only that, but both dogs are less likely to beg/steal food and they stopped eating grass and having occasional diarrhea! I bought bags for my daughter and Mom for their pooches I was so impressed!
My negative review is that the girls don’t eat with the gusto I read from other reviews. I admit it could be from where I am trying to avoid giving flea and heat worm Rx (my 2-year-old had a really bad reaction to one causing an emergency visit to the vet), so I ordered Dr. Bob Goldstein’s powder that I sprinkle on their morning meal. They don’t care for the morning meal much. Sometimes I have to throw out half of the morning meal (most days). Evening meal I crumble one sardine in meal, and once a week I add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. They really like the evening meal. So, their lack of eating desires for morning meal may be the powder to protect from fleas. I would appreciate any advice!
Otherwise, I am happy. I just ordered the probiotics and joint products. The younger one had a bad femur bruise a year ago (she escaped through our fence and got injured). I am trying to be proactive to help her bones and joints. (Yes, Houdini girl cannot escape anymore, we fixed her spot!)
My vet is not happy I am doing the raw diet. She told me to just go to the tractor supply store for food! I like her for her care of my girls, but like medical doctors, she wasn’t schooled much on nutrition, I think.
So, thank you, Dr. Marty, for helping pet patents who love their furry kids and want healthy and happy lives for them.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
