Feeding The Correct Amount
It is important to remember however that these figures are guidelines only, and there are several factors to be taken into account when assessing your pet's nutritional requirements : -
- Activity level
- Temperament (stressed animals burn off more calories than relaxed ones)
- Metabolism (every animal is an individual with his or her own speed of metabolism; this means that 2 dogs of the same age, breed and weight could have different daily calorie requirements)
In order to provide the correct portions when feeding your dog or cat, it is also helpful to assess your pet's appetite, visual appearance and stools. Whilst poo watching does not sound particularly pleasant, it is one of the best indicators of health. Increased frequency of passing faeces, production of large quantities of stools of loose motions are often frequent signs that an animal is receiving more food than he or she requires.
It is important to obtain an accurate weight for your cat or dog, and also to weigh out the food. Guessing on both accounts gives a large margin of error.
Changing Food Brands
For a successful diet change, we recommend following the feeding pattern below. The daily feeding amount should be split into two equal amounts and the proportions of new food increased over the first week as illustrated.
TOP TIPS: For those dogs who do not make eating a priority, here are some additional points:
- Reduce the number of tit-bits given during the introductory period
- If your dog has been used to eating wet food, moisten with warm water.

Dogs like it and have shiny coatsNot tried Burns before and the jury is out at the moment. Dogs like it, coats look good, smells of fish oils, but a little concerned about the rice to meat ratio. Poos are firm but look as if they've been eating sand.
-
Always a good choiceGreat quality food. My two Labradors can’t wait for next delivery!
-
Superb dog food at good priceI have been using this food for my two dogs for years now and find it excellent quality; good food and ethically sourced. It does not contain many of the undesirable 'bits' that lots of dog foods do.
-
GoodUnfortunately had to buy small 2kg bag as out of stock of the 6kg size. It is a good feed.
-
Excellent good all round foodBoth my Collies even though there is a large age difference between them, 1 is almost 8 years and the youngster just coming up to 12 months are doing really well on this food and enjoy it. Bowls licked clean. Shiny coats and happy tails.
