While I was working as a veterinary surgeon, I often found the drugs prescribed to treat common pet health conditions only suppressed the symptoms and gave short-term relief. When the drugs stopped, the problem came back. I was convinced that there must be a more natural, long-term solution.

My research into this eventually led me to the conclusion that many of the pet health conditions I was seeing were brought about as a result of lifestyle – especially diet.

(You can read more about my experiences of managing health problems with diet in my Veterinary Health & Nutrition Handbook).

Having established the link between health and diet, I began advising pet owners to feed their pets a diet of simple home cooked food. This gave remarkable results, with owners seeing dramatic improvements in their pet’s health. Although most owners were delighted with the results, many found home cooking to be time consuming and inconvenient.

This motivated me to develop my �rst dry pet food, Burns Original Chicken & Brown Rice, a complete, ready-made diet but with all the bene�ts of a home cooked diet.

That was back in 1993. Since then, our product range has grown to include a number of di�erent high quality recipes and ranges for dogs, cats, rabbits and small animals.

How much should I feed my dog?It would be very convenient if we could read a chart to see how much food to give a pet. But life isn’t like that. Recommended feeding amounts should be treated as a basic starting point, not a �xed amount. (In my earlier life as a practising vet I would say to my clients, “Read what it says on the bag then ignore it!”) Every dog has its own individual needs and even that isn’t �xed. Pet owners have to think about this and perhaps make adjustments from time to time.Many pet owners worry that they are not giving their dog enough to eat but in reality, the major problem is overfeeding. Excessive weight is now epidemic in UK pets. On the other hand, many people think that they can’t be overfeeding as the dog is not overweight. My Veterinary Health and Nutrition Handbook (pages 6 – 8) lists fourteen (yes 14!) signs of developing health problems due to imbalance/excess in the system. This can happen even on Burns. Overfeeding can negate the bene�ts of feeding a good quality food.

Reasons to reduce:• Neutered• Senior• Less active• Ongoing health problem, including one of those listed in my Veterinary Health & Nutrition Handbook • Excessive weight• Warm weather or warm house• Fussy dog• Problematic barking or yapping

Reasons to increase:• Living in kennel • Working hard or extremely active • Later stages of pregnancy; nursing mothers• Growing

How much Burns to feed?The starting point for adult dogs and all Burns food is:

10g/kg of body weight.

This should be adjusted using the criteria shown opposite. Further adjustments may be necessary with the bene�t of experience and good judgement. If the dog exhibits any one of the symptoms I have listed on page 6 of my handbook when on Burns, this is likely to be due to either:

• Giving other food (pet or human)

• Overfeeding Burns food.
