Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does Dr. Marty Healthy Digestion freeze-dried formula support digestive health?

Ans: This formula combines 86% premium meat with organic fermented prebiotics (cabbage, cauliflower, chicory root) that promote beneficial gut bacteria growth. The high-protein content and freeze-dried processing preserve natural enzymes, supporting nutrient absorption, consistent bowel movements, and reduced bloating or gas in sensitive dogs.

Q2: Is Healthy Digestion suitable for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities?

Ans: Yes, Healthy Digestion suits dogs with food sensitivities because it avoids common allergens and uses single-source animal proteins (turkey, whitefish). The whole-food ingredient list and fermented vegetables support anti-inflammatory gut function, ideal for dogs with suspected food intolerances.

Q3: How do I prepare freeze-dried Healthy Digestion food for my dog?

Ans: Rehydrate using 2:1 food-to-water ratio (1 cup food to 0.5 cup water), wait 3 minutes, stir, and serve when cooled. Alternatively, feed freeze-dried pieces directly without rehydration; both methods provide complete nutrition based on your dog’s preference.

Q4: What portion size should I feed my dog daily?

Ans: Portions vary by weight: 5 lb dogs need approximately 0.67 cups daily, 20 lb dogs need 2 cups, 50 lb dogs need 3.75 cups, and 90+ lb dogs need 5.75 cups daily. Adjust based on individual metabolism and activity level.

Q5: Can Healthy Digestion help with chronic diarrhea or loose stools?

Ans: Yes, Healthy Digestion may help manage chronic diarrhea because of its high digestibility, prebiotic fiber, and fermented vegetables that balance intestinal flora and support firmer, more regular stools in sensitive or dysbiotic dogs.

Q6: What is the difference between fermented prebiotics and added probiotics?

Ans: Fermented ingredients naturally introduce beneficial bacteria and enzymes while improving nutrient absorption and prebiotic diversity, leading to more stable gut flora. Added probiotics are isolated strains that may not survive processing or stomach acid.

Q7: How should I transition my dog from kibble to Healthy Digestion?

Ans: Gradually transition over 10 to 14 days: 25% new food days 1-3, 50% days 4-6, 75% days 7-9, then 100% by day 10. Add a probiotic supplement during the first 5 to 7 days to ease transition and optimize digestive adjustment.

Q8: What are the calorie and protein benefits for active dogs?

Ans: Healthy Digestion contains 45% protein and 181 kcal/cup, supporting lean muscle, sustained energy, and youthful vitality. The high protein content with omega-3 fatty acids promotes healthy skin, coat, joint mobility, and cognitive function in active adult dogs.

Q9: How should I store opened bags of Healthy Digestion freeze-dried food?

Ans: Seal opened bags immediately and store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. Use opened bags within 2 to 3 weeks for optimal freshness and nutritional quality. 

Q10: Can I mix Healthy Digestion with my dog's current food?

Ans: Yes, mixing is recommended during the gradual transition. Start with 25% Healthy Digestion mixed with 75% current food, gradually increasing over 10 days while monitoring stool consistency and digestive response.
