The BVA told us: 'We don't recommend a raw food diet, at least without a vet's guidance. This is for two main reasons: the nutritional deficiencies that often come with feeding raw food (eg low taurine in cats or high vitamin A) and the risks associated with handling raw food – both for the pets and the household.' Healthy Digestion, Skin and Coat: Burns Original can help manage many dietary related health issues including bad breath, wind, itchy skin and excessive moulting. Crude protein (18.5%), crude fat (7.5%), crude fibre (7.5%), crude ash (6.5%), total sugar (0.7%), starch (40.6%), copper (17mg/kg), sodium (0.17%), calcium (1%), phosphorus (0.70%), magnesium (0.13%), potassium (0.55%), omega-6 fatty acids (2.07%), omega-3 fatty acids (0.21%). Large Breed: larger breeds have different nutritional needs, so Burns have created a dog food range that accounts for this, with specific nutrient ratios and enrichments.

A low fat diet is essential even if your dog has lost weight due to pancreatitis. It is not advisable to try and ‘feed him up’ after being ill as too much food can overwork the pancreas. If your dog is very thin it is important that you speak to your vet or one of our nutritionists for help.

There are risks to handling fresh, frozen or freeze-dried raw food.

From dry and wet dog food to raw, there are hundreds of options available, and it can be hard to work out what’s actually best for your pet.
