FANTASTIC FOOD !!!
I have a Weimaraner with a very delicate tummy which makes her a very fussy eater. I have struggled since day 1 with her. Either she refuses to eat the food at first sniff or she eats is and it upsets her tummy and then she refuses to eat. I have tried so many foods I have lost count. Very stressful. Saw this food on the Which dog food TV program and decided I had nothing to loose trying it. My dog and I cannot recommend this food highly enough. She is very keen to eat breakfast and evening meal every day and her tummy is perfect. Poo is firm and small. It is so good that when I changed from her old food I had to do it immediately and not over a few days as she picked out the MM and left the old food in protest. MM was brilliant from the start. I would recommend this food to anybody for any breed or age. My dog is happy and healthy so I am happy.

Perfect
I have been giving my three dogs this for two months now.. Stools firmer and less.. shiny coats.. they love it.. I feel better knowing they are getting a top notch food. Did take a while to transition them had to lower it a little bit after one increase due to loose stools and sickness.. but once we were there they were fit and well and I can see the difference. One of my dogs was a rescue and badly scarred.. I went to show someone the other day were his scars were on his legs and I could no longer see them... Could be the food I dont know?!

Sadly the meal is far too big
My bullmastiff loved this food but was just hoovering it up, hence was taking ages to pass through her. I have had to stop feeding her it after talking to my vet, she recommends feeding her adult small breed, even though she is a large breed. She assures me if I do not exceed 25% protein it will be fine as dog is 11 months now.

Simply Fantastic Food !!!
Believe the reviews regarding this food !
I cannot rate it highly enough, the reason we changed food was due to getting a new puppy 11 months ago and I wanted a food for both my 13yr old dog and puppy to wean on, from he first time I put this food down both dogs have loved it and never had any type of reaction to it.
The ingredients on the back of the bag make GOOD reading, actual named ingredients not your generic "meat derivative" labels.
I have recommended this to numerous people and everyone who has tried it has stuck with it and have nothing but good feedback.
5 star dog food for sure.

Excellent food
When we collected our 8 week old Beagle, he was weaned onto this food by the breeder, so we continued feeding this to him for consistency. I am very pleased with the food, he loves this food and always cleans up his bowl. I checked out all the reviews before making the choice to continue using this and was pleased to find it was reccomended by almost everyone who has reviewed it. My dog is now 5 and half months old and the Vet has said hes growing well and in really good condition, this is in some way a credit to the feed he is on... The delivery options from zooplus were great, I am fortunate in that I can leave my job anytime during the day to recieve collections at home and the DPD option which gives you a 1 hour slot for delivery is really convenient for only a small increase in delivery cost (less than £1). I would reccomend :)

Dog Food Delivery
Great food for our Lab - loves it. However the delivery option i.e. you have to be in is rubbish, most people work and can't stay in waiting all day for dog food. Please sort this out i.e. deliver to neighbour put in a recycle bin etc., as the price and product is great but delivery is a great letdown.

Great food for sensitive tummy
I have a Vizsla and after spending many many months trialling different dry dog foods I was starting to give up hope. My dog has a sensitive tummy and nothing seemed to work. Ive always gone for high quality dog food and even tried raw (which was the best but inconvenient for us and our lifestyle)
I decided to give MM a go and I am so pleased with the results. Been using it now for around 4 months and have had no problems with it. My dog loves it, it agrees with her sensitive tummy and she is gaining weight which was a struggle in the past. If you have a dog with a sensitive tummy I'd definitely give this a go. I never thought I'd find anything that agreed with her but finally I have. Great price too compared to a lot of high quality foods. One happy dog and one happy owner.

Finally a Dry food that suits!!
After struggling to find a convenient, quality food for my Three Northern Inuit dogs (who all have sensitive tummies of varying degrees) my search led me to Markus Muhle NaturNah and I have to say I'm really impressed! No more dodgy tummies, smaller, firmer stools, less wind and generally happy, healthy,energetic dogs that are maintaining an ideal weight..what's more I'm feeding a lot less than I've had to on some other more expensive well known brands!
I've also swopped my working German Wirehaired pointer and 5 month labrador pup onto this food as well and they love it as much as my Inuits, they just can't get enough of it!
Yes,the packaging does look like some kind of gardening product and the kibble itself looks more like something I'd feed my horse! ..but My large dogs have no problems eating it and as it breaks up easily and soaks to a weetabix consistency (if desired) it is more than suitable for smaller dogs too. I'd expect this food would possibly be a good option for breeds susceptible to bloat as it doesn't swell to the vast degree of some kibble which is quite reassuring!
If your looking for the peace of mind that your feeding a good quality dog food at a price that doesn't break the bank then this food is well worth the try.....

Thriving nutrition
My dogs absolutely love this food. I changed over to it in january after adopting a praetorian mastiff. The amount of food he had to have to grow properly meant that the previous canin food was an absolute mound twice a day. Shortly after feeding he would drink and promptly throw it up. I discovered that this was because of the fillers put in classic dry dog foods. I did some research and found out about cold pressed kibble and i liked the sound of it not being cooked to within an inch of its life. I took a gamble and tried the markus muhle. No more throwing up as it doesnt swell in the stomach. I also put my choccy lab on it (used to have breed specific royal canin) very fussy dog and quite often would leave her food. She had also gotten a little rotund. She has never looked back on the Muhle - even her labrador dander has cleared up,meaning no more dandruffy looking dog. Her fur is softer and more lush as is the mastiff. She has lost her excess weight and she never ever says no at mealtimes. Both dogs are very healthy on it and I use it as a training aid for my mastiff which means i dont have to give him rubbish and i can properly control his specific calorie requirements. As it is of human quality food I tasted it myself and was quite impressed by the flavour. All in all a great food that doesnt break the bank!

Fantastic Quality At A Reasonable Price
As the proud owner of 7 fussy chihuahua's I have tried every dried food available. All of my chihuahuas love this food and I am very impressed by the quality for the super price. They prefer this to Eden and Millies Wolf Heart- other top quality foods. I have given a few friends samples and all their dogs love it too. Do not be put off by the appearance of the food- it looks like horse food and the chunks are quite big. The bag has a big sunflower on it so looks like fertiliser! My adult chihuahuas have no trouble eating it and you can chop it into smaller pieces for puppies. It can also be soaked for puppies and makes a porridge like mush, you have to keep adding water or it goes too thick. I free feed my dogs as chihuahuas can get low blood sugar if not fed regularly, a large bag lasts me a month. A cost of £1.20 per dog per week, excellent value. One of my dogs had itchy skin before starting on Markus Muhle and this has now got better on this food. It gets top marks on the which dog food site. Buy with confidence this is excellent top quality food. I think if smaller sample bags were available a lot more people would buy it.

A good alternative to raw?
After feeding my previous dog, a lab, on what I thought to be high end foods (JWB, Eukaneuba, Burns) I decided to do some more research before getting my GSP puppy. I read so much that my head was spinning - enough to convince me that many of these 'complete' foods are actually far from complete, low on nutrition and high on marketing hype.
The conclusion was that I was determined to feed my dog a raw meaty bones diet. However, I was a bit worried about making sure my growing puppy had all the vitamins etc needed to support his growth. I also knew that I wouldn't have the dedication to trawl round butchers or chicken processing plants in search of the best value and variety of bones. And I didn't really want to worry about the logistics of an RMB diet when travelling, camping or using kennels.
I came across MM and it seemed to be a happy medium - less processed and easily digestible - and have fed a combination of MM and RMB (separate meals, not together) to my GSP since the day I brought him home. He has MM for breakfast and a couple of chicken legs or some pork ribs for tea. I also throw in the odd meal of tinned sardines with rice, porridge with crushed veggies, raw eggs, cottage cheese and some organ meats. I use MM as training treats and my dog loves it.
I'm sure many will disagree with this combined approach, and one day I may go completely raw, but my puppy is now 6 and a half months old and a truly beautiful boy. He is lithe, glossy-coated (no scratching or odour), biddable and full of energy (although that is probably just a GSP thing!)I personally feel better about feeding my dog some variety but I reckon MM is about the best dried food at a price that won't make you bankrupt. My dog went into kennels for a week recently and was fed solely on MM. It was convenient and I still felt I was feeding him well.
One thing I would dispute is the claims that the bigger pieces provide your dog with more chewing activity. Maybe so for smaller dogs but I don't hear much chewing going on when Buzz has his breakfast! That's where I like to think the bones come into their own. However, when it comes to dried food, I won't be using anything other than MM.

Excellent high quality food
I've done a huge amount of research into pet food and have found this to tick the boxes. Its got great ingredients and it's a good budget food. Origen is very good but this is almost half the price and almost as good. Would def recommend. Don't be put off by the size - though may not be suitable for really small dogs. It's great for keeping their teeth clean!

amazing dry dog food
I have been feeding this to my Labrador for the past few days and she loves it, she eats it all up as soon as i put it in her bowl. I would highly recommend this dog food over the more conventional dry dog food available its a lot better quality and very affordable.

FINALLY the search is over
My 3 Pulis have been on this food for almost a year now and I won't be going back to their previous high end food, after years of trial and error with the 7 year old who we could never get any weight on (his massive coat hid his super skinny frame) prior to making the change to cold pressed food he was vomiting up undigested kibble several times a week and swinging between constipation to very watery stools, manually emptying impacted anal glands was a regular and unpleasant task, we had tried a grain free diet for him but his symptoms continued, as a last resort I purchased some Markus Muhle and after the initial switch over period I sceptically waited for the usual symptoms to flare up, they haven't, I now have a happy healthy boy who is now a mere 1kg under the ideal weight (since re-homing him as a pup we struggled to get his weight above 4kg under ideal), firm stools (no larger than the healthy stools of our other two) and no regurgitation - the price is excellent value it may take people new to cold pressed kibble a while to get used to feeding the much smaller recommended amount but we had no problems adjusting and splitting the RDA between their two meals and the improvement in the health and condition of our "sensitive" boy is proof of the benefits, a fabulous food with quality ingredients at a price that makes multi-dog households very happy

Great food, great price, very highly recommended.
Well I read many reviews on this food & I have to say all the positives are spot on.
I've had a number of dogs over the years feeding many different makes & varieties.
I've found the markus muhle food very very good.
Very little wind so that's a huge bonus although the poos are varied but not a problem at all.
My lab x gsd is now 8 months , has been on it since 9 weeks old & thriving.
Perfect weight & size.
We have a new little puppy now also & he will be going on it as soon as he gets a little bigger (pieces a little large for him at mo, could break it up but just going to wait a couple of months)
Markus muhle definitely gets a massive thumbs up from us

Really impressed
We changed over our pug x cavalier king 5 month old puppy to this food around a month ago from another high end brand. This food has made my little puppy considerably less windy and less prone to an upset stomach. Her coat has also dramatically improved in terms of shininess, less molting and it has became very silky. She appears to enjoy eating it and always cleans her bowl or food-ball up instantly. No noticed changes to temperament. Very pleased.

Great food - wallet friendly!
I have been really impressed with this food. I tried the 5kg bag first and now part way through one of the large bags. My dog loves it. Looking at the ingredients it seems comparable to other good quality foods but at a much lower price. Plus it is superior to some of the well know 'premium' brands. My dog is in good condition with good poops! The recommended feeding quantities seem about right too although I do feed my dog slightly more as he is still relatively young and fairly active. Great food at a wallet friendly price.

Marvellous Markus
Recently changed our lab to Markus Muhle and am over the moon with the results. Hudson is thriving on it, moulting less, no nasty wind and really firm (but larger) stools.
Thank you to those who have posted reviews - you were spot on!

Excellent
My three dogs a German short hair pointer and two Hungarian Vizslas love this food , they are all in excellent condition . The food is such a high quality I have been able to use it for the two adult dogs and for my Vizsla pup . He is now 8 months old and has been fed NaturahNah exclusively and has grown into a very strong athletic dog .

Swissy loves it
My 7 month old loves this and is thriving on it, her coat is shinning, her growth is spot on without massive weight gain. Zooplus delivery time is excellent too.
