Dr Marty Dog Food
One of the foods you can trust to provide your dog with the nutritional benefits they need is one recommended or better still prepared by a veterinary doctor. This is because they know all about your dog’s make up- their digestive system, immune health, and more- and so put together the best ingredients to formulate a premium meal that will support your dog’s overall wellness.
Dr. Marty is a vet who has gained over 45 years of experience helping and looking after dogs and cats. During these years, he found out that artificial preservatives, heavy grains, low-quality proteins, and additives contained in many foods can accelerate the rate of aging and also contribute to serious health issues. Due to this discovery, he recommended diets with cuts of meats, fruits, and veggies to his clients and noticed some improvement in their overall health, activity, and age.
The drive to understand animal nutrition and care made him spend decades helping dogs thrive with his unique approach of giving them real food- one without artificial additions.
As a result, he helps pet parents provide their companions with the quality nutrition they deserve with his special freeze-dried raw foods, premium supplements, and treats to enhance skin, organ, joint, and muscle health and support their overall health. This is with respect to your dog’s stage, sensitivities, and size.

FAQs On Dr Marty Dog Food
1.What is the difference between Nature’s Blend – Active Vitality and some other store-bought dog foods?
- It’s made for dogs aged 7+ with superfoods, tart cherries, and New Zealand green mussels for the vital immune system and mobility support.
- 79% of the formula is REAL premium cuts of meat… because a high-protein diet can support your dog’s active playtime, vital organs, and healthy lifespan.
- It’s 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.
- It’s 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.
2. What if it doesn’t work for my dog? Is there a guarantee?
Absolutely. If you and your veterinarian don’t see a noticeable improvement in your dog’s health and happiness, please let us know. You can send back the unused portion any time within 90 days, and we’ll return your purchase price, hassle-free — guaranteed.
3. At what age should I give my dog Nature’s Blend — Active Vitality?
Generally, I designed Nature’s Blend — Active Vitality for ages 7 and up. That said, different-sized dogs and breeds can start to show signs of canine aging at different times.
Here are our recommendations based on your dog’s size:
Small breeds: 10 years and up
Medium breeds: 8 years and up
Large breeds: 7 years and up
4. 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 – Active Vitality to help protect the nutrients your dog needs and the delicious flavor they love.
5. Do you add water to Dr Marty’s dog food?
Yes, you can add water to Dr. Marty’s dog food, but it depends on whether you get the freeze-dried or fresh variety.
6. How long does Dr Marty’s food last?
Dr. Marty’s shelf life depends on the type of food and whether it’s opened:
- Unopened: Dr. Marty’s website states their freeze-dried raw dog food has a shelf life of at least 2 years.
- Opened: An opened bag of Dr. Marty’s freeze-dried food will stay good for up to 3 months if stored in the pantry. It does not require refrigeration because the freeze-drying process removes moisture which inhibits bacterial growth.
7. How much water do you add to Dr Marty’s dog food?
You only need to add water to Dr. Marty’s freeze-dried dog food, and adding water is completely optional. Dr. Marty’s freeze-dried food is safe for your dog to eat dry.
However, if you want to rehydrate the food to make it a wetter consistency, the recommended ratio is 2 parts Dr. Marty’s freeze-dried food to 1 part water. So, for example, if you add 1 cup of Dr. Marty’s food, you would add ½ cup of water.
