Why Dog Owners Are Switching to Burns

by Burns Team Writer

Whether you’ve got a new pet, looking to move to a better quality food, or just fancy something new, there’s a whole heap of perks to making the switch to Burns Pet Nutrition.

Why Change to Burns Dog Food?

“We don’t know what causes the problem, we don’t know how to cure it but we can use drugs to relieve it until we really understand how to deal properly with the problem.” – John Burns BVMS MRCVS, 1972

As a veterinary surgeon, John Burns MBE found that he was treating symptoms more often than the cause, and set out to find a more direct solution. What if, instead of treating pets’ illnesses with drugs, there was a natural preventative measure that could be implemented instead?

Burns began his research into holistic dieting: using a balanced diet to improve mental and physical wellbeing. Having studied and practiced the holistic theory on his own diet for several years beforehand, John Burns founded Burns Pet Nutrition based on this same understanding in 1993.

Ever since, Burns has created healthy, easily digestible pet food that’s suitable for pets with sensitivities. We carefully consider all ingredients and amounts, and never include any nasties.

Reliable Value

Your pet relies on you, so we recognise the importance of being able to feed them without breaking the bank. That’s why Burns pet food is such good value for money – you only need to look at the daily feedings costs of Burns dog food to see it!

When you find a food that works well for your pet, we understand that the assurance of consistency is no small thing, so we always make sure to have plenty of stock availability.

We specialise in creating food for pet sensitivities. Whether your dog needs a hypoallergenic diet, specialist food for itchy skin, or needs gentler ingredients to help with their digestion, we’ll have something that caters to their personal doggy diet.

What are the Perks of Burns Pet Food?

Thanks to our balanced novelty ingredients and their balanced quantities, Burns pet food is:

  • Hypoallergenic
  • Made with natural ingredients
  • Highly digestible

Burns pet food is designed by a vet with the health of your animal companions at the forefront of their mind. The full list of ingredients for any of our dog or cat food mixes are clearly listed on each product page online, or on the product’s packaging, and we’ll always be clear about any changes that might be made so that your pet’s wellbeing is within your control.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our customers have to say.
