My border collie started suffering with constipation and diarrhoea when she was 3. Having tried every single thing I could think of I went to the vets because she was becoming so thin. After nearly £1,500 worth of surgery, biopsies and head scratching I was informed that they didn't actually know what was wrong with her other than 'yes, she does seem to have some sort of stomach agrivating aliment'. I was loaded down with drugs for her and told to feed her the Hills science diet.... (read more)

My Dog has IBD. She was doing fantastically well on Burns Pork and Potato untill the last bag which is aparently supplied by a new manufacturer.
The new Burns Pork and Potato makes her really constapatied. The advisor at burns said that they had not had any one call about the change to the food. She advised adding a small amount of veg oil and that I was feeding too much. Oil and cutting down the meal size has made no difference. I am stuck with two bags of the stuff!

My English Pointer has IBD too. He has been doing brilliantly on Burns pork and potato since they first started producing it (he was on a home cooked diet of pork and potato for a year before we found the Burns food). We started a new bag 2 weeks ago. He was OK for about a week, but then his IBD symptoms have started to return. I'm going to call Burns to talk to them about it, as this is the only food he has ever been able to tolerate. Don't know where we will go from here if this change is for good. Back to home cooking I suppose!

This review is for the moist dog food as my dog doesn't like the kibble but she loves the moist, especially the egg flavour. Although it's expensive, it's worth every penny for a dog who isn't fussed about food, she simply loves this. It looks much more like human food than other dog food. She's a 7 month old Shih Tzu and this food is okay for all dogs over 6 months. The only problem was the price but each pouch should last 2 days for a puppy at around £1.60 a pack, well worth it if your... (read more)

I recommend this to everyone.
Their food suits all types of dogs. We have an old lab and a youngish collie. The lab is on the senior working dog and the collie on the high energy working dog.
And the other thing is they don't use battery chickens which to me is very important as I don't see why another animal should suffer for mine.
Seems expensive when you first buy a sack but it lasts 3 times longer than Bakers : ) and there isn't as much poo! : )

Ever since then, he has lovely firm stools. (read more)

I bought this food after doing some research. We have a Lab puppy, who seemed to swing from being calm to hypo. He had been on Iams, so we tried Purina, but I still felt his mood changed too quickly. After being on Burns, he is now a lot calmer and does as he his told, although he still has is moments, which you would expect with a puppy. He doesn't need to go to the loo as often, which is a plus and no stinky wind. The food is well worth the extra cost. (read more)

I have a 10 year old Rottweiler bitch. By the time she was 18 months old she was usually on Metacam maybe three times a year. I changed to Burns Lamb and Brown Rice, and she hasn't been lame since. She is a very lively ten year old, and I attribute this to the Burns she has been fed on since being a young dog.
The only thing that maybe could be improved is its availability. It has to be ordered from Burns or a few veterinary clinics stock it.

Since she has been eating this her stools have been mostly loose, sometimes runny and only occasionally firm. I thought i was being sensible allowing time for her to settle and all the usual puppy uncertainties but enough is enough when it comes to her health. I have been researching various foods now for about a week and am becomming more angry with the rubbish that is passed as good food. I have now ordered some Burns.

I have been feeding my puppy the Bakers Complete which he did like. The vet now suspects he may have a food allergy so the E numbers you say are in that will definately aggravate his condition. Several people have mentioned Burns food but a while ago I heard bad reviews on how it upset the dogs where they were eating their own faecis and basically chewing their own skin because the food was not filling them enough. I am trying to find a suitable hypoallergenic food (my dog is 11 months old)and would be grateful of any comments on the bad reviews mentioned.

After much research we have changed our dog from Iams to Burns. He has been munching on this for a day or so now so it's still very early days, but we feel the difference is already noticible. He is fuller for much longer, his digestion seems better and he seems calmer, which for a springer spaniel not yet able to go for walkies (1 week and counting!!) is essential.

Thank you for your story. I have been going down the same root. I have started to put the fish and rice kibble in her prescription food to slowly take off vet food. If this doesn't work she has to have camera and biopsies done. My last dog was on burns and it stopped colitis, fingers crossed my new dog will get better on burns food. Fingers crossed.
