Severe skin issues, the itching/scratching/chewing until bloody then, continuing while crying in pain, the hair loss were ALL a result of additives, preservatives, fillers, chemicals and food coloring. Grains (wheat, rye, barley, etc) also contributed. Having Celiac Disease I recognized the fowl body waste smells and daily progressive stages of diarrhea. My dogs have always been Purina dogs, until 3 years ago and 4 different rescues with skin issues that meds did not help. I began introducing Purina’s Grain Free with slightest improvement. I then researched every item listed past “salt” in description (nothing so-called “natural” after “salt) and spoke with my Vets. I then, began researching all brands dry dog food and snack products. I began a 6 month transition to ‘Orijen’ (as I slowly introduced for system adjustment each of their four products, I now have mixed all together, cautious for ill effects). Within the first two weeks, skin issues were healing and dissipating and coats began to grow back in (as my kids were picking out the ‘Orijen’ to eat). Bowels normalized, bloating stopped, dogs became more active and playful even at ages 11-14 years, coats are healthy, shed less, they are maintaining perfect weight and they no longer have to eat more to be satisfied, drinking more water due to less moisture content of other foods. As healthy as my Vets have said of all my critters, they have been very pleased with increased health particularly with the new healing of old injuries of damaged/dislocated joints and broken bones. All 12 of my dogs, some now age 15-17 years get annual X-rays, dental, full lab work ups for organ, glands, etc. function. All have just recently been given clean bills of health and are happy. Even the Pug, Peggy Sue, I took in at age 6-1/2 months old, cruely abused (owners blinded, dislocated both hips, broke and splintered her femur on the diagonal and developed Congestive Heart Failure) and who Vets tentative thought may have to be put down by age 2-3 years old will be 11 years old this October 2020. She gives both the younger and larger dogs a run for their money and you wouldn’t know she is blind. Bottom line is “All Natural” is not all natural nor healthy if “salt is a main ingredient and there are “ingredients listed after salt. The further down the list-the less there is of an item. Label may state includes Blueberries, but listed far down,1 single Blueberry deceptively validates the Label. ‘Orijen’ is not inexpensive for 12 dogs, but healthy dogs save on Vet bills and providing for my kids on my Social Security, a little extra spent here saves a whole lot there., Dr. Marty's premium pet food is grain free, with multiple protein sources and essential vitamins and minerals to keep your pet healthy and happy., Dr. Marty’s Nature’s Blend is made by Dr. Martin Goldstein, one of America’s most popular and well-known veterinarians.
