Re: Working Dog Food?!?!?!?!

I'm a big fan of Burns Alert (I use raw and wet food as well but with a large dog it can't be done all the time)
I used to use SuperGreyhound when he was younger but it has a tendency to add weight unless your dogs are worked very hard; Burns Alert is great for seniors and show dogs too

Burns Alert Lamb and Rice Dog Food is formulated for working dogs but with a difference. Foods for working dogs are traditionally formulated using high levels of fat and protein to meet the energy demands of heavy physical activity. For many, if not most working dogs, work requires mental alertness and low or moderate physical activity, they must also be calm, well behaved and attentive. For example this would apply to sight, hearing or PAT dogs. Even police or military dogs, farm or sporting dogs have prolonged periods of reduced physical activity punctuated by short episodes of vigorous activity. For them, a low energy diet is indicated most of the time.

Burns Canine Alert is formulated to meet those demands. Protein and fat levels are controlled. This promotes excellent health, both physical and mental. Levels of antioxidants and omega 3 fats are increased. This helps to neutralise free radicals which can inhibit brain function. Burns Alert is an all natural product free from chemical additives.
Working dog foods also tend to use low quality ingredients to keep the cost down. Burns believe that high quality ingredients promote good health, both physical and mental which ensures optimum performance and is more economical in the long run.

Burns Alert comes in two varieties, Chicken and Brown Rice and Lamb and Brown Rice. These are hypo allergenic and are made with the same quality ingredients as Burns standard adult foods but with a higher level of anti oxidants. Alert is actually cheaper because it is VAT free.
