How to Use

Dosage & Administration Instructions

• Dry Serving: Offer freeze-dried pieces directly from the bag; most dogs find the naturally high palatability makes dry serving convenient and quick with no prep required.
• Rehydrated Gravy: Mix freeze-dried food with warm water using a 2:1 food-to-water ratio; let soak 3-5 minutes for a softer texture ideal for puppies, seniors, or dogs with dental sensitivity.
• Mixer Option: Use Nature's Blend Premium Origin as a nutritional booster; reduce daily kibble amount by 20-50% and replace with equivalent premium freeze-dried portions for dietary enhancement.
• Transition Protocol: Days 1-3 replace 25% of current food; Days 4-6 replace 50%; Days 7-9 replace 75%; Day 10 serve 100% to prevent digestive upset during dietary change.

Recommended Feeding Chart

Adjust portions based on individual metabolism, activity level, age, and body condition. Highly active dogs may require 10-15% more; senior or sedentary dogs may require 10–15% less.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes Premium Origin different from other Nature's Blend formulas?

Ans: Premium Origin combines grass-fed lamb and venison with wild-caught mackerel and superfood vegetables in premium combinations not found in standard Nature's Blend recipes. The formula emphasizes antioxidant richness and diverse protein sources for enhanced nutritional complexity.

Q2: Can I feed Premium Origin as the complete diet or only as a mixer?

Ans: Nature's Blend Premium Origin is formulated as a complete, balanced adult dog diet and may be fed exclusively as primary nutrition. Alternatively, use as a mixer, reducing kibble portions by equivalent calorie amounts while maintaining complete, balanced nutrition profiles.

Q3: How long does a 16-oz bag last for a typical adult dog?

Ans: A 16 oz bag provides approximately 7-10 days of complete nutrition for a 25-50 lb dog at recommended portions. For 51-75 lb dogs, expect 5-7 days; for smaller dogs (5-15 lb), expect 14-21 days.

Q4: Is Premium Origin suitable for puppies, seniors, or dogs with medical conditions?

Ans: Premium Origin is formulated for healthy adult dogs only. Puppies, seniors, and dogs with kidney disease, liver conditions, or restricted-protein requirements need veterinary-approved formulas specific to their life stage and health status.

Q5: How does freeze-drying preserve nutrients better than traditional dehydration?

Ans: Freeze-drying removes moisture at low temperatures, preserving heat-sensitive vitamins, enzymes, and amino acids without oxidative damage. Traditional high-heat dehydration destroys beneficial compounds and creates harmful Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs).

Q6: Does Premium Origin contain any artificial preservatives or fillers?

Ans: No. Premium Origin contains zero artificial preservatives, fillers, grains, or synthetic additives. Only natural mixed tocopherols preserve freshness; all ingredients are whole-food sourced without by-products or meal fillers.

Q7: Can I use Premium Origin with supplements or other Dr. Marty products?

Ans: Yes, Nature's Blend Premium Origin works excellently with Dr. Marty supplements like ProPower Plus probiotics, Better Life Booster toppers, and Better Life Bites. Monitor total daily calories to prevent overfeeding when combining products.

Q8: What if my dog has allergies to specific meats or vegetables?

Ans: Premium Origin contains lamb, venison, beef, and mackerel. If your dog has allergies to any protein or vegetable component, consult your veterinarian; other Nature's Blend formulas with different protein sources may be suitable alternatives.

Q9: How should I transition my dog from kibble to Premium Origin?

Ans: Introduce gradually over 10 days: Days 1-3 replace 25% of kibble with Premium Origin; Days 4-6 replace 50%; Days 7-9 replace 75%; Day 10 serve 100%. Extend the transition to 14-21 days if the dog has sensitive digestion.

Q10: Is Premium Origin food-safety tested and certified?

Ans: Yes, Premium Origin is manufactured in FDA-audited, BRC-certified facilities using High Pressure Processing (HPP) to eliminate pathogens. Each lot undergoes independent testing for E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella before release to ensure safety.
