Converted to Burns

does it lose it's taste the longer the bag is open??   I've transferred it into a container, but I don't want to buy too big a bag if it does!!

Burns doesn't contain emulsifiers - so the fat will go rancid once exposed to air - when I checked with burns they suggested no longer than 6 weeks once opened.

Theo and Apollo have now started to have Burns introduced into their diet and are really enjoying it. They eat it very quickly but do seem to be hungry again quite soon. Is this normal?

I'm glad you've said this as I was about to embark on buying a big bag - does putting it in a container make it last any longer or is it 6 weeks regardless?

I checked with the Burns nutrition people this morning Rachel, i was told three months.
We fill an airtight container up, and always make sure the bag is tightly closed.

That does make a difference - I had stopped buying it as "standby food" because of the short shelf life - I might get another bag if it lasts that long

Thank you everyone re the Burns thread. Truffle was quite hyper, even allowing for the new environment, so we changed her to Burns over her first 5 days with us, rather than wait. She seems much better. Her coat is also so glossy, like a mirror! I feel happier knowing she is on healthier food.

Glad I found this site my pup seems to turn his nose up at anything!  He has weetabix with goats milk for breekie and turns his nose up at any form of dog food at dinner.  For tea we have been givin him mince which he woofs down.  But I feel hes not getting what he needs so to speak.  Never heard of burns till now and they is a supplier local il give it a try.  But may need to add bit of fish or meat to start with??

We converted Roxy to Burns over a week ago and i've really noticed an improvement. Her coat is shinier, Pooh's are alot nicer and not as smelly and best of all she seems to have calmed down quite a bit! Although she stiill has us wrapped around her little paws!

Our 3 are now totally on Burns and they have al improved in al sorts of ways.
Buffy seems calmer, and so does Josie and Josie does not suffer from wind like she used to
She also seems to be drinking less water now.
Suki also seems calmer.
We took Josie to training classes last night for the first time in quite a while and loads of people commente on shiny coat - you can almost see your face in it!  They all seem to love the food too which helps!
We have to buy 2 different types as Buffy is still on the puppy mix and the other two have the chicken one!
I can thoroughly recommend  Burns so far
