61.4/100Good

Cold pressedPuppyAdult

A German cold-pressed food that sells one recipe and expects it to do everything, puppy to old age, toy breed to giant. It reads in our Good band. The animal side is more interesting than most bags manage, with game tripe and venison bone behind the poultry.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs of different ages under one roof
Large breed puppies, with calcium at 1.46% of dry matter
Dogs that bolt their dinner: the pellet crumbles when wet, where expanded kibble swells
A taste for game
Owners who like a vitamin and mineral panel printed line by line

Worth watching

Poultry meat meal names no bird, so a chicken-avoiding home cannot rule it in or out
Brown maize and brown rice, outside a grain-free routine
Sea fish meal and salmon oil, so not fish free
Herbs declared only as a mixture

The score, in context

Markus Muehle Natural Dog Food 61.4

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A strong animal side and a panel that shows its working carry it; the grain base and a lead meat that never names its bird keep it a little under the cold-pressed middle.

What's in it

Dried poultry meat meal28%Concentrated, so far more animal than the same figure of fresh meat. The bird is never named.
Brown maize meal, brown rice mealGrains named outright.

Venison bone meal5%Doing the calcium work.
Maize germs, Jerusalem artichoke meal, beet root mealThe artichoke brings inulin for the gut bacteria.
Sea fish meal5%
Linseed oil, cold-pressed rapeseed oilThe plant fats.
Fruit powder, herbs, dried herb mixtureNo individual herbs named.
Powdered egg yolk2%Rounds the amino acids out.
Dried peat, salmon oil, Mojave yucca, seaweed mealSalmon oil for marine omega 3, seaweed for iodine.

A full panel with a dose against every vitamin and trace element, choline included; the biotin and B12 figures carry a units typo from the German original.

Calcium converts to 1.46% of dry matter, a comfortable figure for a large-breed puppy.
