Made to John Burns’ original recipe, the Original Dog range contains everything an adult dog needs for lifelong health and vitality. It is low in fat and when used as a general maintenance diet, it can help to maintain healthy skin, coat and digestion. As with all the Burns diet,s it has a simple recipe and avoids artificial colourings, flavourings and preservatives. It's just personal opinion but two months in, the glossy coats of our labs seems to have dulled and their poos are also softer and lighter (we have weighed the new food to make sure we're not over feeding). One of our dogs has also started shedding massively - to a greater degree than we have seen before – and he does not normally shed at this time of year.

Analytical Constituents: Crude Protein 18.5%, Crude Fat 7.5%, Crude Fibre 2.2%, Crude Ash 6%, Copper 21mg/kg, Sodium 0.26%, Calcium 1.1%, Phosphorus 0.9%, Magnesium 0.14%, Potassium 0.6%, Omega-6 fatty acids 1.6%, Omega-3 fatty acids 0.16%As a result we've decided to switch products. Once our current bags run out (we can't afford to waste them - this stuff is not cheap) we have decided to give the Markus Muhle a try and in the meantime we are mixing in a little Wolfworthy to up the meat content (which I have to say in just a few days has firmed up the poos - thankfully!)

Burns Original diets naturally maintain healthy skin, coat and digestion and can help manage dietary related health problems by caring for the body as a whole. Made in the UK While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.Crude Protein 18.5%, Crude Oil & Fats 7.5%, Crude Fibre 2.2%, Crude Ash 6.0%, Moisture 8.0%, Copper 18mg/kg, Sodium 0.13%, Calcium 1.15%, Phosphorus 0.70%, Magnesium 0.10%, Potassium 0.32%, Chloride 0.20%, Sulphur 0.27%, Essential Fatty Acid 2.09% Burns is a British company that produces simple, high quality diets developed by Veterinary Surgeon John Burns.

Vitamin A 25,000 iu/kg, Vitamin D3 2,000 iu/Kg, Vitamin E 100 iu/Kg, Calcium Iodate Anhydrous 1.5mg/kg, Cupric Sulphate Pentahydrate 55mg/kg, Sodium Selenite 0.6 mg/kg, Ferrous Sulphate Monohydrate 160mg/kg, Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate 100mg/kg, Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate 130mg/kg for only 20% meat is pretty ridiculous, at that point you might as well just buy a cheapo brand and save money. All about the branding/marketing for this one. Pedigree small breed has the same meat content, the only difference here is you are paying for named ingredients. Just get something like Skinners, Autarky, or Red Mills Engage for higher meat content at half the price.

Containing only the finest quality ingredients Burns Original is highly digestible therefore feeding amounts are lower meaning that daily feeding costs are significantly lower than those of other premium brands. The Holistic Approach For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product. Obviously this could all be coincidental, but the change has prompted us to revisit what we're feeding the dogs and review whether we're providing the best that's available for what we can afford to spend. Considering the low NV rating here, the grain/meat ratio, the absence of a diverse range of nutrients and the alternatives now available (and the way these are processed), the Burns is now starting to look very expensive for what it is (which is almost three quarters brown rice). Hypo-Allergenic: Burns Original is hypo-allergenic, so it is suitable for even the most sensitive dog. It is formulated without ingredients such as wheat, soya, dairy, artificial colourings and artificial preservatives which are known to cause symptoms of food intolerance including itchy skin, excessive moulting, full anal glands and waxy ears.
