I am expecting a puppy later this summer and have been following this thread and investigating food.  I very much like the sound of John Burns set up.  However, although the staff in PAH were very helpful, they basically said everything under their own name brand was just as good.  They then went on to say, "but we don't know anything about Burns" - so how can they know theirs is just as good???!

Got home and googled Burns - brilliant website.  Rang them and they were incredibly helpful.  Even though I live in the middle of the Fens, with little or no amenities, they told me of a kennels less than 2 miles away that stocks it, or they (Burns) will deliver to me personally.  Very impressive policy and good business too!

It will definitely have my vote.

 ;) E mail Burns and they'll send you free samples and vouchers for money off your purchase and lots and lots of information. Very helpful people

I dont think that anybody else here does but Maudie loves it and has the most amazing coat.

I did use this

But Maudie had really fishy breath because of the fish content. But it has an amazing effect on the skin and coat!

Jersey loves the fish 4 dogs treat range and I noticed the other day that they now do a complete food. I think she'd love it but while she is eating her Royal Canin I am loathe to interfere  ;)  The boys all eat Arden Grange prestige

JWB is James Wellbeloved which is a good food but which some people won't use for ethical reasons as their parent company tests foods on permanently caged animals. Same goes for Iams/Eukanuba and anything made by Purina.


OMG I didn't know that either ph34r, my Newfs are on JWB and the Cockers are on Royal Canin, and that is on the list too.... Looks like my dogs will have to change to something else ph34r

We have tried Burns in the past but we've found that the dogs prefer meat based food rather than wheat based. ;)
Arden Grange, Pro-plan and Royal Canine are all great.
Ours are fed on Pro-plan. ;)

Burns contains rice and oats (and some of their products contain potato and/or maize), but no wheat  ;) Arden Grange has rice and maize, Pro-Plan use rice, oats, wheat or maize in their various products and Royal Canin has rice or maize in........

O right, I was rushed in my reply so didn't get chance to look it up. Didn't mean anyting against Burns in my reply.
What I meant about the other foods is that the main ingredient is usually meat. Ours obviously like their meat! ;)

Don't chane Bramble straight over though! LOL! Do it gradually!

We feed Arden Grange Premium and never had any problems with it, that's what the breeder fed chloe although we cut out the cheap Tripe wet food and water on recommendation from our trainer!

hi,
we`ve visited local supplier and he gave us some free samples & lots of leaflets with information about burns food,however i did end up buying a 15kg bag of chicken & rice for £34.99.we`ll gradually change bramble over to the burns food,he`s tried one feed tonight and he really did enjoy it.

it looks like he`ll be on 2 * 100 grams per day as he`s 12kg at the moment

just a shame our kids dont get the same concerns over what they eat  ;)

I buy Burns food straight from the website. Just type Burns and you will find it. Their delivery service is excellent and the advice line has been invaluable to me, a novice dog owner, as may I add have all you COLers! their range of treats is very good to. I find the training treats particullarly good for re- call probably because they smell ghastly! They are just slightly better in your pocket than bits of soggy sausage or cheese.
