      06/30/2025 Business did not sent email in a timely manner so that I could verify my email. When I contacted their chat system, the person replied that I needed to change my password which I hadnt initiated and then ended the conversation abruptly. I reconnected with chat and **** asked me for my address to see if I was still online and then also hung up. This was unprofessional or a problem with their chat system. I will not use their business.

      Order on 4/6 and shipping update from dr *********************** I have included the order and in this complaint, I emailed dr ********************** on 4/12 because the post office didn't show received still. No response to my email. I called dr ********************** and was told that it had not been long enough to wait a few more days. I called today and was told that my order would be delivered today & that there was a new shipping number. I did not think to ask for the new shipping number. I called back later and did not mention that I had been told that the order was supposed to be delivered and i was told that **** had returned the order to them and a new order would be sent. I told them i wanted a refund and was told a refund would be emailed to me today. What I got was an email with a new order.

      I purchased 3 packages of Dr. Marty's Poultry and Salmon dry cat food on 12/23/24. It clearly states 100% money back guarantee if not satisfied. My cat would not eat this food. It has a very strong odor. I called to return it and was advised to take a break and then taper back mixing the food with low sodium chicken broth which I did. My cat would still not go near it. Now I have to pay to ship this food back. This company is far from transparent in their big badge stating 100% money back return. I should not have to pay shipping for this inedible product.

      I visited their web site on the 132/20/2024 and noticed a 25% reduction on an order (EMAIL25) if I agreed to receive some marketing info. I did so and placed an email order for 12 packages of their dog food. After placing the order, I noticed that they did not give me the promised reduction. I emailed them for the reduction and received an answering email which stated that they were unable to change the price of the order. I guess they never heard about credit card credits as well. as debits. I emailed again and told them that, if I didn't get the reduction, I would return the dog food under their 90 days return policy. The dog arrived at the inflated price and I have since been able to contact them for the return. The web site is locked against my return attempts. Even while I am signed in, I am unable to navigate for the return , and they claim my sign in is incorrect and I need to sign out and then sign in again again. But the site won't allow me to sign out or in. In particular, I was unable to access my order history ; the little spinner just keeps going round-an-around. I then went to my computer history and recalled the file that occurred just prior to all the Mickey ***** games. I was finally able to access the return for, filled it out with my personal data ( including my email address) and the order number which I copied from the delivery box. I submitted the form, which was refused because they have no record of my email address (which I am signed in with) and that I have provided an unknown order number (which I copied from the order carton). Do these people really have BBB A+ rating as displayed on their web site?

      I bought $90 worth of dog food from Dr ******************** guaranteed to be healthy for me dogs and all it did was make my Yorkies vomit. I followed directions to a tee and without success. The food was just too strong for their bellies and they could no longer eat it. I returned the food and I had to pay $25 to shop back food that made my dogs sick. Not only did this venture cost me $25, it was a huge inconvenience on both of my puppies eating regiment. I called Dr ******************** for a credit on the $25 and was told no.

      I am rejecting this response because: it would have been one thing if my dogs simply did not like the food, but Dr ********************** food made my dogs extremely sick vomiting and fever. In good faith, I tried his healthy food and in the end I ended up with 2 AKC teacup Yorkies becoming very sick and a $25 bill to send this garbage back to where it came from. If I dont get my $25 back, Ill go public and show the cost of my vet bill for the care my dogs needed after trusting this Dr.
