Product Information
Full details
The Burns Free From Duck & Potato 6kg is designed for dogs with sensitivities, offering a novel protein source in a grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free formula. Its key benefit is providing a highly digestible and tasty option for dogs prone to adverse reactions or those with fussy appetites. A potential consideration is the specific protein and carbohydrate base, which may require a transition period for some dogs.

FAQs
What age group is this food suitable for?
This diet is formulated as a complete food for adult dogs. Puppy or senior formulations may be more appropriate for those life stages.
Can I feed this to a dog with a duck allergy?
No, this food contains duck and would not be suitable for a dog with a known allergy to duck.
How much should I feed my dog?
For adult dogs, the general guideline is 10g per 1kg of body weight per day. For senior dogs, it is 8g per 1kg of body weight per day. Adjust quantities based on your dog's individual needs, age, and activity level. Refer to the feeding guide on the packaging for specific recommendations.
Is this food suitable for puppies?
This product is intended for adult dogs. Puppy nutrition requires specific formulations to support growth and development.
What is buckwheat?
Buckwheat is a seed that is botanically related to rhubarb but is often used as a grain. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and minerals and is naturally gluten-free.
How long does the food stay fresh after opening?
To maintain optimal freshness and nutrient quality, it is recommended to use the food within 6-8 weeks of opening. Storing in an airtight container in a cool, dry place will help preserve freshness.
Troubleshooting
Dog not eating the new food
Ensure a slow transition over 7-10 days. Try warming the kibble slightly or mixing in a small amount of warm water to enhance aroma. If the problem persists, consult your vet.
Digestive upset (loose stools, vomiting) after switching
Slow down the transition process. Feed only the new food in very small amounts and gradually increase over a longer period (up to 14 days) if necessary. If symptoms are severe or persistent, seek veterinary advice.
Dog seems less energetic
While this diet is suitable for adult dogs, if your dog is highly active or a working dog, they may require a food with a higher fat and protein content. Consult your veterinarian about alternative Burns diets.
