Burns

[Linz13]

Well, I changed Maddi onto Burns after trawling the site, checking local stockists, reviews etc. 

She is thriving - she's put on a bit of weight (as recommended by the vet!) she's much calmer, but more active on walks, sniffing and doing stuff a cocker should. 

Also, the customer service at Burns is superb!  I went to the pet shop and they only had the massive bags, I have nowhere to store this, so I phoned Burns and got next day delivery for £3.50 - I'm just so pleased, long may it continue I say

I use Burns too and had a query and spoke to a nutritionist there, she was really helpful They have the thumbs up from me too

[LouiseAS]

I've used Burns too about Jakeys recurring cystitis and behavioural issues and found them really helpful.  I've even used them for my parents cat who has various health issues.

They get the thumbs up from me.

Just out of interest (as i may of missed the thread) but what was she fed before and what were her problems/reasons to change?

Just curious if diet could be anything to do with Ollie's minor problems we are having at the minute

Thanks in advance

She was on Winalot with Pedigree mixer, I was never happy with all the stuff in it, but her stomach settled when she was on it (we tried all sorts).  i can't put my finger on what it was about her, she'd be really in your face, and really excitable, her coat was dry, she would run about on walks but would sniff and follow scents like Murphy did - she does now.

Eek I've just bought a bag of Burns in the hope of getting Brodie to lose weight . I like the thought of her being more active on walks though

I think Burns is designed to maintain their optimum weight I know Jakey put weight on when he was on some horrible prescription food but back on Burns he's getting hsi waistline back again.  So don't panic

If it has the same effect on her that it did on Alfie then she will, he dropped so much condition he looked like a cruelty case on Burns and his coat was dreadful. Horses for courses, it suits some dogs but really doesn't suit others.

Oh dear . I'm only planning to do a trial period of a couple of months anyway to get that little bit of weight off - I'll just need to keep an eye on her....

I use Burns as Bella was a fussy eater, I found she loved fishy flavoured dry cat food, Burns do Fish and Maize so I got a small bag both dogs adore it. A big bag lasts me months so its very cost effective, they both have bundels of energy but not hyperactive. Their coats gleem. I tend to use less than the recommended quantity of Burns and mix in some tinned Butchers tripe, they have been fed this for a year now and both seem really healthy and are not overweight / underweight. I fed them James Wellbeloved before which I had no problems with other than Bella would eat it one day but not the next I ended up throwing a lot away. This food really suits my two and I dont have fussy eating problems anymore.

I've been feeding a little more than she should get in order for her to put on weight - now that she has put a bit on, I will reduce the amount she's getting

I had to take Jessie off the Burns, she was losing too much weight on it . Have since changed her food over the last few months and she has put on and her weight is now steady.

To be honest one of the reasons I like Burns is that it controls their weight, Belle is quite hefty and loves her food so I am hoping it will keep her weight down a bit, she is fat because she scavenges from the kids They know they shouldn't but they leave bits of food and she is like a Hoover, I spend a lot of my day trying to catch her as she has just spotted half a biscuit

same here, Jarv looked dreadful on Burns and had no interest in eating it either

I use the working dog burns, the vat free 18kg for 15. its got more oils or something in for active dogs and I mix it with stuff Im buying locally, chapel farm country champion for working dogs with salmon oil etc . and my dogs are tip top.
 they get the odd barf thing but TBH pepper can get the runs with some raw meat so its often easier to stick to what doesnt annoy her gut.
 shes lovely and  slim  compared to some other spaniels her age and very very active so its working for her. her teeth are amazing as well, very little tartar and shes 11 and a half. My dogs basically will eat anything I put down in front of them. single dogs can get fussy etc as theres no competition. if one leaves their bowl unattended here when they go back another will have scoffed it. they soon learn to eat the lot , quickly!
