Why Freeze-Dried Raw?
Most commercial pet food is cooked at high temperatures — which destroys many of the nutrients.
Dr. Marty’s is gently freeze-dried. This helps protect the nutrients that help keep your pet trim, active, healthy and happy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Nature’s Blend — Essential Wellness and some other store-bought dog foods?
Nature’s Blend is:
- 81% REAL premium cuts of meat… because a high-protein diet can support your dog’s active playtime, vital organs, and healthy lifespan.
- FREE from artificial preservatives and synthetic vitamins and mineral powders… We naturally keep our food fresh — that way, your dog can easily absorb the nutrients from REAL meat, veggies, fruits, and seeds.
- Minimally processed, not blasted with high heat… We freeze-dry our food so it’s full of nutrients, bursting with savory flavor, and has a fresh, irresistible texture.
Is grain-free food ok for dogs?
Dogs need a diet rich in taurine, an amino acid found only in meat, to thrive.1
However many commercial foods are packed with ingredients like tapioca and white potatoes. These ingredients contain very little taurine.2
That’s why the first five ingredients in Nature’s Blend are premium cuts of real turkey, beef, salmon, duck, and organ meat. This supports your dog’s healthy heart and youthful vitality.
Of course, it’s always a good idea to talk to your veterinarian before starting your dog on a new diet.
Why is this formula freeze-dried?
Most dog food companies cook their food at high temperatures, which can destroy many of the nutrients.
Instead, we gently freeze-dry Nature’s Blend — Essential Wellness to help protect the nutrients your dog needs and the delicious flavor they love.
Does each dog breed need a different dog food?
Nope! We designed this formula to help dogs of all breeds live a long, healthy, happy life.
How do I serve Nature’s Blend — Essential Wellness to my dog?
If your dog likes dry food, Nature’s Blend is ready for them to enjoy the moment you scoop it from the bag.
But if your dog prefers wet food, it’s easy to prepare. Just combine 2 parts Nature’s Blend with 1 part water. Then let the food sit for 3 minutes before mixing it up and serving it to your eager pup.
Do I need to refrigerate Dr. Marty Nature’s Blend — Essential Wellness?
There’s no refrigeration necessary! Because Nature’s Blend is freeze-dried, a bag will keep for up to 3 months in the pantry after it’s been opened, so there’s no need to make space in the fridge.
Not to mention, the bags are extremely lightweight and they zip to seal, so they’re easy to store (and there’s no need for bulky food containers.)
What is the complete ingredient list for Nature’s Blend?
Turkey, Beef, Salmon, Duck, Beef Liver, Turkey Liver, Turkey Heart, Flaxseed, Sweet Potato, Egg, Pea Flour, Apple, Blueberry, Carrot, Cranberry, Pumpkin Seed, Spinach, Dried Kelp, Ginger, Salt, Sunflower Seed, Broccoli, Kale, Mixed Tocopherols (natural preservative)
What if Nature’s Blend doesn’t work for my dog? Is there a guarantee?
Absolutely. As a veterinarian, I take canine nutrition very seriously. So if you don’t see a noticeable improvement in your dog’s health and happiness, you can send back the unused portion of Nature’s Blend (or the empty bags) any time within 90 days and I’ll return your purchase price.

Connie Shaw–
All three of our large dogs love love love Dr. Marty’s dog food. Sophie is our picky eater but she can’t seem to get enough of it! They no longer have any digestive or elimination issues. So glad we tried it. I just wish it were a little less expensive though – we use it to supplement their other dog food along with cooked chicken and occassional tuna…

5 out of 5 They go crazy for this food
Audra–
By far the most visible, positive results I have ever seen with a dog food. Not only do the dogs go absolutely mad for it, wet or dry, but their coats and energy levels are improved. The evidence of their digestion is very positive too. Their systems tolerate the food very well, their waste is regular, looks healthy. Even my vets have asked about the food after seeing my dogs coat improvement.

5 out of 5 A true Blessing for our “Very Picky” Dog Children!!!
Bella & Joey–
We have tried almost ALL of the Big Name Brand dog foods and our -Very Spoiled Dog Children – could care less !! Finally, we read Dr Marty’s Book and then tried his food. Well, you could almost see the difference immediately – like Night & Day. Our Dog Children Loved it !!! Especially when we started mashing it up in Hot water so there was also a broth for them!! According to our Dog Children, this is the Very Best food we have ever given them – except for the infrequent times we break down and give them a few pieces of meat done on the grill!!!!

My dog loves it but because of his size, I will not be able to afford to feed him this food exclusively. I am using it now as an add in. He also loves the Joey treats

Gradually easing into this as only food. Having to use up other food. Using 2/3 to 1/3 ratio. Sugar definitely gets excited about eating now and vet was very impressed with how her coat shined now

4 out of 5 The dogs love it
Jerry Bradam–
We use this to supplement our current dig food which has become difficult to get. So we chose your product based on the variety of meats used and organ meats. Changing over to this new mixture went very well and the dogs ( 6 Frenchies and Bostons) never knew the difference. This has saved us money and we know that we will have a reliable supply of dog food. The only draw back is after they started eating this they all developed huge amounts of gas. Most people’s dogs do this but in all of the years of breeding and showing Frenchies and Bostons this was a total change from their past. I guess its something we will have to get use to. Other than that was are satisfied with the product and will continue with our standing order.

Susan–
Our almost 2 year old Australian Labradoodle is rather picky. She started out loving this food and eating it up quickly. Then she’d leave it all day (I would pick it up and put it in the refrigerator several times so it wasn’t sitting out all day). Did I mention she’s picky??? Now I add it to her KONG toys with some chicken breast or other meat and she’ll eat it that way. She prefers to eat it dry. I also add in a small amount other foods that we are eating that day before seasoning them, if they’re appropriate for her. My goal is to get her all of the proper nutrients that are in this food. I chose this food after watching Dr. Marty’s informational video, researching, checking ratings on Dogfood Advisor, etc. So far she is quite healthy and her coat is so shiny and thick. I think we have a good routine for her and we are on your monthly auto ship plan.

Judy Moran–
My dogs love this food. My only complaint is the size of the bag and the price. Have decided to just add to their regular food. I have two large dogs and we go through one back in two days.

Tara R Forrest–
I think it smells good and my husband actually took a bite, but the dogs. The dogs love this food. They patiently wait as it hydrates and all know as soon as I go into the fridge to pull the bag out. You see, we have 4 dogs and 3 were picky eaters. They all love it and jump and prance in anticipation. My picky husky, he gobbles it up like there is no tomorrow. And both Chihuahuas eat so fast that they are looking to push the pit mix off her bowl to her food. Happy dogs to say the least and their coats do seem to look better.

5 out of 5 Good Stuff !!
Carla Gilbert–
I have 3 dogs (toy fox terrier, min pin, long hair chihuahua) of which two are 15 years old. They love the food. They have scheduled of “eat” time and if I am late they let me know and dance and prance until food is put in front of them. Never any left overs in bowl. Toy Fox Terrier is on special kidney diet but gets Nature Blend as a topper.

I have noticed such a difference since switching. My puppy is excited for meal time & knows when he should be fed. He sits by his bowl patiently waiting for it. We ran out 1 day before our next order arrived & it didn’t go unnoticed. Great product.
