Markus Mühle dog food has been praised for improving dogs' coats and overall health, making it a favorite for many years. However, recent recipe changes have caused digestive issues for some dogs, leading to dissatisfaction among long-term customers. Despite these concerns, many still appreciate the food's quality and benefits, especially for sensitive dogs, although the kibble's hardness and size have posed challenges for smaller breeds.

Fab food
I have 3 dogs - 8 yr old Staffy, 4 yr old Jack Russell and a 2 yr old Chorkie. At last I've found something for my Staffys' terrible wind problem! My Jack Russell has actually put some healthy weight on (he is long legged and more of a whippet build!) You don't need to feed so much of this as it has better ingredients which are digested far better, meaning less poo. They have been on it for a few months now and look foward to meal times - you'd think they were getting a steak!!

Very happy so far
My 2 dogs love it (1 medium sized crossbreed with a sensitive stomach and 1 lurcher). As the food weighs in heavy, they get a lot less in quantity than what they were getting with their old food, so sometimes they're looking for more.
They're loving it though and there have been no digestive issues.

No more squitty pooh - hurray !!!
Our 8 week old Wirehaired Vizsla pup came home with us on 27/12/13 with a 20kg bag of Royal Canin Maxi Junior Active kibble as highly recommended by the breeder.
Despite his appetite for the stuff we never once got anything like a firm stool from him for the 6 weeks or so he was on it - pretty grim to say the least, especially overnight in the kitchen!
Our puppy training centre recommended MM NaturNah so after some extensive research (into various alternatives) we decided to give it a go. The results were almost immediate and now we have lovely, big firm poohs.
It has also transformed the dog's coat from 'dry and dusty' to 'soft and glossy' and he seems more relaxed and contented generally.
As a new dog owner I've found it a nightmare trying to navigate the minefield of vested interests within the dog food industry - even the local vets appear to be 'incentivised'.
I am confident, however, that I've found the ideal nutrition (for my dog, at least) with Markus Muhle.
The cost savings of this excellent value food are an added bonus but were never a factor in the decision making process - we just wanted what was best for the dog...

Good for one, bad for the other.
Our dogs have been on grain free food for some time (Nutrivet/Purizon)but thought I'd give this a go as it gets excellent reviews and also has good ingredients/better value. My dogs both love the taste so eating it is not a problem, and my Shepherd has had no trouble digesting it but my Inuit has had runs every day (as in we've walked in the kitchen to it every morning for 10 days!) so there's something in there that just doesn't agree with him, but we'd have stuck with it otherwise. Just bought some Purizon today for splatter-free mornings.

Calmer Cockerpoo
Our cockerpoo puppy was on JWB , she was very hyper running around like a crazy girl till 10 pm at night. Took a few days looking into her feed and what to feed. Started to introduce this new feed . Just 3 days later she is like a differant dog, much calmer is listening to what we say. Not chewing as much . So happy we changed her feed to this and she loves it .

Very impressed
I was on the look out for a quality cold pressed food for my Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, ordered a small bag of this for him to try and I'm very impressed. Just ordered a 15kg sack. Feed a lot less than most dry foods so the bag lasts longer.
Nice big pieces means he doesn't eat his dinner as quick.

Dogs Love it
Our 2 cross Staffie's love this dog food mixed in with a little Rocco wet meat, much better than supermarket biscuits, for a few more Pounds and so much healthier for them... Fab

7 alaskan malamutes cant be wrong,
my 7 Alaskan malamutes are thriving on this food, the large chewable kibble is great, they range in age from 6 months to 10 years, and it suits them all, nice firm poo to pick up,and its so reasonabley priced, so we all love it,

Great quality product at a great price
My dogs love it, they have been on this food for about 6 weeks, their coats shine again, they always clear their bowls and i can give it as treats too, i have never had a food that my boys would just eat out of your hand. I am so pleased i have found such a good quality food at a great price, i was paying more for a big name that contains rubbish, i would recommend this to everyone. I have 2 Newfoundlands aged 6 years and 19 months and a Saint Bernard aged 7 months and can all have the same food, Yayyyy.

Markus's marvellous morsels
The pack arrived within 2 days and my boys couldn't wait for me to open the box! I have an 18 month old VERY fussy staffy who obviously thinks I'm trying to poison him when I try him on other makes. Basically, I wanted to swap him from his puppy/junior dry to adult food. I've tried 4 other brands (burns, wainwrights, natures choice and a "specialised" staffy food) and he gave one sniff and turned away, then ate very reluctantly. However, with this food, he tucked in straight away (eating it as treats at first before the mix in).
The convenience of quick and free delivery, plus the saving of buying 2 bags, means I will definitely be swapping over and ordering 2 more bags soon.
I read a lot of reviews, but you never know until you actually try- so I took a chance and thank goodness it worked out for me and my pooch. I got 5% off first order, then was sent another code for 5% off next purchase too. Excellent company to deal with. Owner and pooch very pleased :-)

Great Food
Started using this food with our rescue dog who came to us with a bit of a suspect tummy.
He loves this food and it's firmed his stool up well. He never turns his nose up or leaves any for later which is always a good sign in my book.
For me this is as good a dry food as many of the more expensive brands.

Great food, great value
Been feeding it to our labradoodle for over 1.5 years now, he never turns it down, and stools are solid and pick- up able. A hard working, high quality food that dogs seem to love and not as expensive as other "premium" brands.

3 years later
I have been feeding my highly active Papillon this food for three years now and am still as delighted as I was the first week. At eight years she still works hard and with as much enthusiasm as my 9 month old pup who has also started on MM, both tiny dogs cope well with the largest pieces of kibble and neither has turned her dainty nose up at this food a major problem with all other brands tried, both have beautiful clean smelling coats and are little power packs of energy. I also use MM as treats for my bigger breed oldies both currently on prescription diets. Oh and no more baby wipes carried for dirty tails either!

Very good for my fussy dogs
After reading the other review I went ahead and purchased a bag. Like others have said my dogs, ages 3 and 12 when mad when the box arrived and tried to rip it open, Good news I thought.
Well this food is good, you can use it as treats, dry on its own or mix with a bit of water and a bit of meat so they like it even more.
The only down side is that my younger dogs coat smells, this may not be the food, but could however be the firework or the illness of Addison's that she has, while her body gets used to the new food. Oh and the stools are in good shape too!
I am on going to buy another bag right now.

excellent food
Both love of my dogs love it . my boy had skin problems on other big brand food, his skin is not as sensitive and he looks fab. My young girl was very fussy on other brands of food and was very skinny as a pup, I was starting to despair when I found this food and now 7 months on she piled on the wait and has grown into a healthy, rambunctious teenager.
The price is reasonable and delivered quickly so thank you to mm and zooplus.

Good quality at a reasonable price, but note the kibble size!
I have a 6 month old Cavalier x toy poodle, and had to find him a decent quality food, which doesn't stink, on a budget. This food almost fits my criteria, however the kibble chunks are a bit too large for my dog. I would really advise supervising any dog whilst they eat this food, since the chunk size does present a choking risk. The size and irregularity of the chunks means that it cannot be used in conjunction with most Kong toys, unless maybe you have the extra large versions . This food has two states; solid or textureless mush if you soak it; it might be good for toothless dogs. Aside from the size of the kibble, there is another downside...it, ummmm... makes your dogs' poops massive. In future I'll be looking at Skinner's Duck and Rice, or Vitalin Maintenance rather than using Markus Muhle.

Great Stuff!!!
I bought this primarily for my 3 year old Lab who had been on JWB since a pup. She had always done ok on JWB but recently had been scratching quite a lot and was all of a sudden suffering from dandruff. After reading a lot online and seeing the excellent reviews for MM on here I decided to give it a go. She has been on MM for about 3 weeks now and is loving it, he coat is shiny again, isnt scratching anywhere near as much and there is a visible decrease in the amount of dandruff.
I have been so impressed with MM I have started my 8 week old puppy on it straight away (soaked in cold water), she was being fed on Beta Puppy which is smelly garbage! She also appears to love the MM.
One final point about Zooplus, great price, £59.90 for 30kg of MM makes this cheaper than I was paying for JWB. I also cannot fault the delivery service, delivered within 5 days of placing my order.
Overall delighted with the product, the price and the service from Zooplus! Will definitely buy again.

Best out there
My 6 month old puppy is thriving on this food, have tried other premium brands that are more expensive but not this good. Price per kg you wont get a better dog food.
