16 reviews forMarkus Mühle TRUE NATURE

I bought this for my two dogs because I wanted to get a better quality food for my 6 yr old collie/spaniel cross who has developed a delicate stomach. This rated highly in independent reviews and I chose it above its competitors because it did not use lots of additives and preservatives in the manufacturing process and above all I liked the ethics behind only using free range chicken in its supply chain. The food is about a third more expensive than the brand I was previously using - which is fine - but it doesn't go as far and I find that I have to feed rather a lot of it for my dogs to maintain their weight. About 50% more than the recommended amount. Because of the large amount that I feed, I find my dogs will skip one or two meals a week just because they can't get through the quantity, meaning they miss the equivalent of a days calories a week, causing me to try and feed them more to make up! I can only assume that this is because the less expensive (lower quality?) food I fed before was more calorie dense? I should probably mention that my dogs are very high energy breeds and they get a lot of exercise. On the positive, they like the food well enough (they are not fussy eaters) and it seems to suit my spaniel/collie's digestion system. And I sleep well at night knowing that I am not supporting cruelty to chickens!
