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.

Good serviceThis is a great product. It is ideal for a dog sensitive to other food. keeps his coat in great condition too.

Excellent FoodThis really is the best all round dog food out there! We have fed generations of dogs on Burns. They all live long, healthy active lives. You can't say more than that. Feed dry or moisten with a little warm water for a change.

Burns fish and riceMy dog has had this food for several years now. Excellent, she really loves it.

Excellent for sensitive stomachsI have had several deliveries of this excellent fish and brown rice. It suits my two dogs very well - one 11 year old labrador with arthritic elbows and an ex-racing greyhound age 4, retired owing to a leg injury. Both dogs are doing very well on this food. The labrador is moving with greater ease. I couldn't be more pleased.
