Burns Sensitive Adult/Senior Dry Dog Food - Duck & Brown Rice
Product details
This simple recipe with natural ingredients makes it ideal for sensitive dogs. The wholegrain brown rice is important for healthy digestion. Duck is a novel protein source; this means that if your dog has never eaten it before they will be less likely to have a reaction. It is a particularly good option for dogs with food allergies or intolerances. It is low in fat and highly digestible.

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.

Loving our Burns dog foodMy 11 year old dogs whole attitude and body seem improved since changing to Burns dry duck and rice food. Her eyes don’t weep as much, her poos are more solid and she’s just so much more 'perky'. Following the feeding guide for a senior dog she’s also losing weight

Sensitive foodBoth my dogs (golden retrievers) have been on this for almost a year. My one girl has Icthyosis and this stops her skin from flaking.
