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 and digestive issues.
• Mixer Option: Use Sensitivity Select as a nutritional booster for current limited-ingredient kibble; reduce daily kibble amount by 20-50% and replace with equivalent freeze-dried portions, maintaining allergen safety.
• 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; extend to 14-21 days for sensitive dogs.

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 Sensitivity Select different from regular Nature's Blend formulas?

Ans: Sensitivity Select is specifically formulated for dogs with food allergies and sensitivities. It eliminates common allergens (beef, pork, eggs, dairy, wheat, grains) and focuses exclusively on limited-ingredient proteins (duck and turkey) with hypoallergenic vegetables, unlike multi-protein standard blends.

Q2: Is Sensitivity Select safe for dogs with severe poultry allergies?

Ans: Sensitivity Select cannot accommodate severe poultry allergies, as duck and turkey are primary proteins. If your dog has documented poultry sensitivities, consult your veterinarian for alternative limited-ingredient formulas or single-protein options.

Q3: Can I feed Sensitivity Select as a complete diet or only for dogs with diagnosed allergies?

Ans: Sensitivity Select is formulated as a complete, balanced adult dog diet suitable for all dogs, not exclusively for allergic dogs. However, it's specifically designed to benefit dogs with food sensitivities while providing excellent nutrition for sensitive systems.

Q4: How long does a 16-oz bag last for a dog with sensitivity issues?

Ans: A 16 oz bag typically lasts 5-10 days for a 25-50 lb dog at recommended portions. Duration varies by dog size: 14-21 days for small dogs (5-15 lb) and 5-7 days for large dogs (51-75 lb).

Q5: Why does Sensitivity Select exclude beef and eggs when many dogs tolerate them?

Ans: Beef and eggs are among the most common food allergens for dogs, affecting approximately 30-40% of dogs with allergies. By eliminating these high-allergen proteins, Sensitivity Select reduces risk for dogs with unknown allergen sensitivities.

Q6: Can I use Sensitivity Select with supplements or other Dr. Marty products?

Ans: Yes, Sensitivity Select pairs with most Dr. Marty supplements, but verify ingredient lists for poultry derivatives or common allergens. Always consult labels and your veterinarian to ensure supplements don't introduce eliminated allergens.

Q7: How should I transition my dog from regular kibble to Sensitivity Select?

Ans: Introduce gradually over 10-14 days (extend to 21 days for severe sensitivity): Days 1-3 replace 25% of kibble with Sensitivity Select; Days 4-6 replace 50%; Days 7-9 replace 75%; Day 10 serve 100%.

Q8: Will Sensitivity Select help my dog's itching and skin problems caused by allergies?

Ans: Many dogs with food allergies experience improved skin health within 4-6 weeks of eliminating allergen triggers. Sensitivity Select's hypoallergenic formula supports this process, though severe skin conditions may require veterinary treatment beyond dietary change.

Q9: Does Sensitivity Select contain any corn, wheat, soy, or grain products?

Ans: No, Sensitivity Select is completely grain-free and excludes corn, wheat, soy, and all grains. The formula uses only limited vegetable ingredients like sweet potato and leafy greens, all hypoallergenic choices.

Q10: What if my dog has multiple food allergies beyond what Sensitivity Select addresses?

Ans: If your dog reacts to duck, turkey, or other Sensitivity Select ingredients, consult your veterinarian for elimination diet testing to identify specific allergens. Your vet may recommend single-protein diets or prescription limited-ingredient formulas tailored to your dog's unique needs.
