Why Freeze-Dried Raw?

Most commercial pet food is cooked at high temperatures — which can destroy 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.

Where do I buy Nature's Blend?

Right here on our website! It’s the best place to stock up on your dog’s food or subscribe to automatic monthly shipments.

Or if you prefer, you can also shop in stores! Nature’s Blend is now available in more than 3,000 retail stores in the US. Use our store locator to find a store in your local area.

    This food is something my dog really likes. She’s a very picky eater. I have a difficult time getting her to eat an entire bowl of dog food. I could only afford to use this food as a topper, she loved it & would finish her whole bowl of food. Its just too expensive to use all of the time.

    Nancy Beaton

    My 3 year old shitzu is the a very picky posh. Loves treats doesn’t like much food. Have tried several brands of kibble, frozen food was good for awhile, then would only eat with goodies on top. Seems to love Nature’s Blend. Out of the last month there has only one day that he did not eat within minutes of serving. So far very happy with the product. Just add hot water and your done. No defrosting or taking up room in your freezer. If you are looking for a food for your picky pup give Nature’s Blend a try.

    Dianne Wagner Robak

    My dogs love it -I soften it in warm water and mix into their dry food. One of my Anatolian’s is a lazy eater for breakfast. When I put this on her food she cleans her bowl.

    I have a male Toy Poodle named Ringo. When I feed him Dr. Marty’s dog food he LOVED it. Every day when I open the bag he jumps up and down and can hardly wait to get the food. I have mixed it with a bit of water and raw hearts and liver. He eats all up at once. He seems satisfied with his meal and runs around playing with his toys and then settles down, lays on his mat and takes a nap. His coat has gotten better and his breath has improved drasticly. His poop is much easier. I am happy with this food and look forward to see more results in the future. Thank you for this amazing pet food.

  11. 5 out of 5 Great topper for big dogs too

    George Fregone

    Frankly, my golden would eat a plate full of dirt. But, it’s not very nutritious. So, I use it as about 1/3 and 2/3 regular food. I also use it for training treats. She loves the taste but to be fair, she’s a golden and eats everything she can fit in her mouth.

    Our dog, Shorty, which was dropped at our home, is doing well with Nature’s Blend. I ordered a different product several months back that had few of the same ingredients but he would not eat it so I sent it back. That product wasn’t near as healthy as Nature’s Blend! Thank you for making such a healthy product for Shorty.
