After changing from burns kibble with duck due to all my dogs suddenly being very sick on to this rice one we have dreadful smelly loose poohs and this is not cheap food I’m at a loss

Suitable as a mixer only as mainly rice with a small amount of chicken and no description which parts of the chicken either. Cheap ingredients. Can’t believe a vet would formulate such a poor highly processed food as a complete.

If he's getting funding for being 'sustainable and ecofriendly' I can only guess as to what crap is being bagged for our dogs to eat. I see the rubbish they are trying to feed humans

Our labs have always looked really good on this but about two month's ago, I opened a new pack and noticed the food looked lighter in colour and chunkier. I wrote to Burns to ask what had changed. They confirmed that they had not changed the formulation but had changed the factory where it's produced. The new denser kibble would result in less dust and waste in the bag which I suppose is a good thing, but they also said "There will also be some natural variation as the raw ingredients will be sourced from a different supplier." It's just personal opinion but two months in, the glossy coats of our labs seems to have dulled and their poos are also softer and lighter (we have weighed the new food to make sure we're not over feeding). One of our dogs has also started shedding massively - to a greater degree than we have seen before – and he does not normally shed at this time of year. Obviously this could all be coincidental, but the change has prompted us to revisit what we're feeding the dogs and review whether we're providing the best that's available for what we can afford to spend. Considering the low NV rating here, the grain/meat ratio, the absence of a diverse range of nutrients and the alternatives now available (and the way these are processed), the Burns is now starting to look very expensive for what it is (which is almost three quarters brown rice). As a result we've decided to switch products. Once our current bags run out (we can't afford to waste them - this stuff is not cheap) we have decided to give the Markus Muhle a try and in the meantime we are mixing in a little Wolfworthy to up the meat content (which I have to say in just a few days has firmed up the poos - thankfully!)

This was interesting read. We have gone thro the same. I emailed them and got similar reply. Then I saw somebody else on FB page had same issues. I went back to Burns and asked how many had contacted them as they initially said others had not complained. I said well I’ve seen other dogs have been regurgitating food and having runny poops and coats are poor instead of shiny. The answer was that quite a few had contacted them regarding sickness and diarrhoea they had had new site checked and no issues showed up. Well they certainly do seem to have a problem Due to my boys allergies I’m really having issues finding replacement due to not wanting carrots or sweet potato. Eden and Platinum are too rich. At present he’s on Jolleys Lifestage and more settled, not the best food but he’s more settled for present time

Same with all dog food atm I think. They're trying to save money and be 'ecofriendly' and 'sustainable' which means unknown lab grown additives to me. I've seen a huge dip in the quality of human food so God even knows what they are getting away with feeding to our dogs

We met John by accident on a beautiful sunny day in Ferryside, he was very kind and having had a conversation about our very old spaniel, Bailey he gave us a voucher for a free pack of his senior food as Bailey is now 15 years old. We also have a 9 month old Spaniel called Rumpus. When we collected the trail pack, we thought how light the food seemed, however we were amazed that we could quite instantly see that both spaniels were firstly, taking longer to eat, and within a short while how perky the older spaniel was in the few short weeks of this food change. We therefore, champion Burns recipe for good dog food and find that the price is good considering what we would pay for much lesser quality food, not to mention- more often. We have now purchased the larger bags for our boys and think it is undeniable that there is quality and value for money. Thank you John, what a great chance meeting! Eloise & Derry

I have fed my dog this brand for 8 years. She's always suffered with dry itchy skin but thought nothing of it. I have recently read the book 'forever dog' and anyone who owns a dog should read this. Dog food companies are not made to tell you the full ingredients in complete pet food. Like how it's cooked 10 times over and cancer causing toxins develop in the cooking process is one of the horrible things found. By chapter 2 I'd thrown out her dry food and started her on fresh homemade food. This was a few months ago now and at nearly 9 years old she's never looked so good. Dry skin and itching is gone, her hair is shiny and she has so much energy. I would never go back to dry pet food and can't erge people enough to read that book.

I see the crap they are trying to force humans to eat, I can only imagine what our animals will be given. Im not surprised

My dog for a few years had problems with runny stools and suffered with colitis. After a talk with my local pet shop owner I changed him onto a mix of John Burns wet and dry food. He has never looked back. Firm stools twice a day and no more problems trying to coax him to eat.
