“Done some research, not too happy”

★★☆☆☆

written by lilyanne2502 on 25/02/2018

I thought Burns was a quality dog food and didn't do due diligence in checking the ingredients.69 percent rice for a carnivore is not a good ratio for good nutrition. I have changed to a 70/30 quality dog food which is basically the same price.

“Soft stools and frequently pooing”

★★★☆☆

written by dorrit2017 on 22/09/2017

Have been feeding my 9 month old cocker burns fish and brown rice not happy with it at all now. But it's driving me mad which other brand of dry food to feed ! My other cocker has been ill with Pancras/and hyperliperdiama so she had to come off burns and on a special royal canin food for her condition, although her health problem was not caused by burns it is not the right food to feed her with her health problems. My Dachshunds have been on the burns small bites and have been for some time they are fine on it.

“High grain low meat”

★★☆☆☆

written by supervet on 09/02/2016

How many wild carnivores do you see eating grain crops? Burns is 60 - 70% grain which offers little benefit to your dog. I feed my Boston Terriers Orijen, high meat content, high quality ingredients, they need less and I supplement with suitable fruit and veg occasionally NO GRAIN (especially corn, which has no digestible benefit to a dog). Such grains are just used as fillers. I would recommend you research your pets needs before selecting a suitable food.

“YES”

★★★★★

written by on 20/09/2013

hi I have a Japanese Akita. when she was a puppy,but she was not progressing in growth, so i did a Google search and found this great Burns. so I put her on the Adult senior she is doing great. and looks fab and dosnt loose weight she is nice and chunky with a lovely shiny coat and bright clear eyes. as the james contains suger beat which made her too hyper. now she is a happy balanced dog she has been on Burns for two years now and I wouldnt go for any thing else. also the pouches farm land is very good, I am going to try the Burns mixer with the Burns wet food pouches for a change.as I have tried other brands , all contain some sort of yeast,Burns is a great Hypoallergenic Holistic pet food and is very good for dogs with sensitive systems and since she has been on the Burns no problem what so ever. it seems OK for a short while then after two weeks my dog was scratching so I new what it was so took her off them all. and I only give my best friend the very Best. ant that is all of the BURNS RANGE. she is a happy dog

“Burns Penlan range moist dog food”

★★★★★

written by Val740 on 01/08/2013

This food has been an absolute life saver for our elderly Jack Russell who suffers from pancreatitis. We have struggled to find a low fat food which does not upset her digestive system and produces normal solid poo and we were so pleased to find this really works. It is good quality food and, whilst quite expensive, worth every penny to us. Would recommend it to anyone whose dog has digestive problems. Thank you Burns.

“The Best!!!”

★★★★★

written by MandySherwin on 27/05/2013

I feed my 9 year old weimeraner with the hypo allergenic mixer and naturediet. She loves these biscuits and this is the best food you can give to your dog. Bit pricey, but then again, you only get what you pay for.

We use lamb and brown rice dog food but she has an allergy to flea saliva which causes severe itching mainly around base of tail and all four feet.

Are we using the most appropriate food for her or do you recommend a better one?

“burns high oats dry dog food”

★★★★★

written by on 13/10/2012

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. Disaster. My poor dog grew thinner and more sickly until at last I knew I had to fix her or have her suffering ended. I tried all the Burns foods and still not what I was looking for, in the end I threw my hands up in the air , stopped all her medication and opted for the Burns high oats . With some trepidation as to the wording on the package telling me it was for overweight dogs I just kept thinking that the extra fibre might help. Within 4 days of being off the meds and on the high oats my dog started to rapidly improve. She is now 10 and still on the high oats, her weight is spot on and her tummy troubles are resolved ( unless someone sneaks her a treat she shouldn't have) I am eternally grateful to Burns for saving my dog, I truly believe she would not be here today if I hadn't discovered this food. The Burns helpline is very helpful also for advise and the food actually works out cheaper than most tinned brands! Thank you Mr Burns

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.

“Burns Pork & Potato - change to recipe/manufacturer”

★★★★☆

written by on 13/06/2011

I have been using Burns for some time as 2 of my Chow Chows developed an intolerance to poultry based premium dry dog food. Burns Pork & Potato was the answer. I changed all my dogs (5) of them onto Burns, on likes the fish and the other 2 like the lamb variety. All was well until I purchased my last bag of Burns Pork & Potato. When I opened it I noticed it was much darked in colour, but didn't think anything of it, then when I soaked it for my oldie I noticed it was a lot firmer (it used to fall apart when soaked) so something has definately changed! Then within 48 hours of using the 'new' bad they both developed upset tummies! Usually I have be watch out for them being constipated! Has anyone else noticed this change? Burns has said that they have changed manufacturers but the recipe is the same? I seemes awfully coincidental that both my dogs developed the same reaction?

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!

“I have a Bichon frise who is 2 years old, when we got...”

★★★★★

written by on 06/04/2011

I have a Bichon frise who is 2 years old, when we got her she was being fed on pedigree and we wanted to change her on to better quality food, so I looked around and founds burns. It really is good not only is it the only dog food my dog can now eat as she has irritable bowel syndrome but it cleared up her tear stains. The only thing is it is more expensive then supermarket dog food but it is GREAT value for money.

★★★★★

written by on 16/03/2011

After trying various foods for my 14week cocker spaniel to try and get rid of constant liquid poo which was making it very difficult to train her i started her on burns puppy mini bites. After only three days we now have a happy puppy who no longer constantly needs to go out. Solid poo twice a
day and sleeps all night. Excellent value for money. Highly recommendable.

“This review is for the moist dog food as my dog...”

★★★★★

written by on 13/03/2011

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 dog, like mine, will finally eat.

“I recommend this to everyone. ”

★★★★★

written by on 21/01/2011

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! : )

“My rescue Springer is nine years old. Ever since I...”

★★★★★

written by on 15/01/2011

My rescue Springer is nine years old. Ever since I had him at eighteen months he has tended to have overly soft stools. Typically, his first poo of the day would be okay but thereafter they would be very soft or liquid. He was fed on Pro Plan dried food. A couple of years ago, I changed to Burns lamb and rice. Ever since then, he has lovely firm stools.

Many thanks for this review, extremely useful. We too have a Springer (6 month old puppy) who has the exact same tolieting as you've outlined and have been searching for an alternative since having him. Off to buy some Burns!
