She is a beautiful looking girl [rehome] and a lovely character too [albeit a bit tinkish at times]. Great cuddler in bed. Still a nervous girl but getting better.

I feed my lot on a mixture of Royal Canin and raw. Sidney was getting bored of the Canin, but wasn't going to stop feeding him it, and try something else, as I did this once with one of my other dogs, and it was murder trying to get her to stick with a regular kibble.

Thanks. Previous owner dumped her off at the council pound claiming she didn't like his cats - i object to the view that a dog is considered second class in the animal kingdom to cats.

Here's a few more pix in an album

It's interesting you ask this question. I have a shop (Welcome | www.waggintailsonline.com) and we sell Science Plan and Burns. One day a woman came to the shop and bought a bag of Burns. She was explaining to me how she tried every food out there, even Vet prescribed food and she had never tried Burns and wanted to give it a go. After a few weeks, she returned to buy another bag and was beaming with joy that her dog's skin rash had finally gone away after years of trying other foods.

I always try and tell this story regarding Burns as my clients have had really great results. I've had many clients tell me that their dog's fur has become glossier after the switch and how their dogs breath doesn't smell anymore.

I feed my dog Burn's Minibites and I can tell you he has a beautiful glossy black coat. The nice thing about Burns is that it isn't expensive.

I wouldn't say Science Plan or any other brand is a bad one or not suitable; I've just had really great feedback about Burns. I hope this helps.

The previous poster said 'The nice thing about Burns is that it isn't expensive. '

I have to confess that to my way of thinking any food costing over £40 a bag is expensive. It is perfectly possible to buy a low protein/low fat food (which is basically what Burns is) for £10-£12 less than Burns which makes me think that Burns is vastly overpriced, even though I used to feed it myself in the past.

Burns works simply because it is a low protein/fat food, and therefore keeps a dog lean which is the healthy state for any dog. Most people overfeed their pets, and therefore feeding a light diet such as Burns helps ensure that not too much fat/protein is not being consumed.

There are any number of light diets out there. Check out the Pets at Home website to get an idea of what's there.

There's a lot of myth around Burns, but the truth is that it suits some dogs and not others - some end up very thin. The secret of healthy feeding is not so much the brand but the type of food being fed. As long as you are not overfeeding, and you are not feeding a lot of indigestible cheap ingredients, and you are excercising your dog regularly then you should have a healthy pet!

And to repeat, you don't have to buy expensive food to have a healthy dog!

It's interesting you refer to Burns as expensive. After owning a pet shop for a number of years, I find Burns to be the cheaper brand in comparison to the market leaders - Science Plan, James wellbeloved, royal canine, etc. I have never seen a bag of Burns retaisl for £40 + and even large 15kg bags don't go for that much. Perhaps you are buying Burns at an inflated price. I for sure have never sold Burns for so much money.
