Help (please) dry dog food advice

[KittieCat]

I'm a new owner. Ddog has been with us for a couple of months. She's a rescue we brought back from a bad situation on holiday as she tugged too hard on our heart strings! We think she's about a year and was hit by a car and left so is taking Yumove to help her leg/hip.

She's a lovely mix breed, weighs just under 10kg and is spayed.

I have decided to dry feed (am almost convinced by raw but I'm newbie dog person and an taking on step at a time, so at the moment dry feeding works for us).

She currently having Royal Canin mini. I'm looking for the best dry food I can give her. I'm almost convinced by MN's fans of Markus Muhle but worry that the kibble will be too big and I can't find anywhere that will sell/send a sample, so I'm reluctant to dive in and order a big bag.

I also like the sound of Canagan but I need help from the MN knowledge banks.

Please tell me about dry food and help me to decide.

We feed Burns Alert (working formula) but previously used Barking Heads and would recommend both. DCat is on Canagan which I rate very highly, it's just too pricey to keep two working dogs in good condition on :(

Oscar's do home visits and offer a 'free meal' for you to try out different types of food.

(My gluten intolerant LabXCollie has never looked better than when he's been on his Oscar's)

I feed raw and am a huge fan of Markus Muhle, it's excellent. Don't worry about the size of the kibble, it's cold pressed so its easy for them to eat.

Well, an update. Ddog has tried lots of samples of late and I've ordered a bag of Markus Muehle as HotPink was absolutely right, while the kibble is bigger it's still hard but a more chewy hard texture.

She also loved Luath kibble but they seemed to be 'over promising' on some of health claims, which put me off.

I'm awaiting a couple of others to come through but keen to get her off Royal Canin soonest.

Thank you wise MN'ers.
