Dr. Marty is an American veterinarian, well-known for his ability to greatly improve the health of dogs through diet. Through decades of experience in his veterinary practice and with his own dogs, Dr. Marty has gained a strong understanding of canine nutrition.
He believes that some ingredients regularly found in commercial dog foods are the root cause of several common illnesses in dogs. In his video, he names “sickness”, “depression”, “poor digestion”, “joint pain”, and “canine cancer” as illnesses caused by these ingredients, which he calls “dog health destroyers”.
The three “dog health destroyers”, according to Dr. Marty are:
Preservatives
The following of which he recommends staying away from entirely:
- Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)
- Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA)
- Propylene Glycol
Fillers
Dr. Marty describes these as anything in the food that “doesn’t do GOOD for your dog.” The fillers he recommends avoiding are:
- Soy & soybean oil
- Corn & corn gluten
- Wheat
- Flour
- Artificial colouring
- Barleys
- Oatmeal
- White rice
Meat by-products
Dr. Marty states that ingredients such as “by-product meal”, “meat meal”, or “meat & bone meal” in dog food should be avoided. He explains why in his video, and you may be shocked to learn what these terms actually mean!
Conversely, Dr. Marty names three “super nutrients” that he believes should be included in every dog’s diet on a daily basis: organ meat, specifically beef liver, turkey liver and turkey hearts; omega 3 DHA; and prebiotics, such as flax, pea flour, carrots, and ginger.
Not surprisingly, he has created his own recipe for optimal dog health, which is available in an easy-to-feed freeze-dried food. Dr. Marty Nature Blend contains all of the “super nutrients” and none of the “dog health destroyers” noted above. As an added bonus: it’s made in Canada!
Nature Blend can be fed as a meal by simply adding water, or as a food topper for more budget-conscious dog lovers. Even a little a day can make a noticeable difference in your dog’s health.
