While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients. for only 20% meat is pretty ridiculous, at that point you might as well just buy a cheapo brand and save money. All about the branding/marketing for this one. Pedigree small breed has the same meat content, the only difference here is you are paying for named ingredients. Just get something like Skinners, Autarky, or Red Mills Engage for higher meat content at half the price. Vitamin A is involved in cell growth and division, as well as hair growth and skin maintenance. Since some of the key symptoms of food allergies include damage to the skin, it is important to include Vitamin A in hypoallergenic diets to help clear up the damage done by any previous allergic reactions a dog may have had. Ingredients in dog food that function as a source of vitamin A are fish oils such as cod oil. Vitamin E Grain-Free: if your dog has allergies or intolerances to grain, it can be difficult to find a suitable dog food, so Burns provides delicious grain-free options to support even the most sensitive of dogs.

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. If symptoms of food allergies persist after the introduction of this type of diet, it can also be helpful for determining the new allergen that is causing the adverse reaction due to the limited number of ingredients.Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements. Vitamin E is an antioxidant which has important functions in immune health. These compounds scavenge for free radicals, protecting cell membranes from damage caused by lipid oxidation. This is beneficial to have in hypoallergenic dog food diets to help maintain cell integrity in case damage does occur due to a reaction. Vitamin E is commonly found just as a vitamin supplement in diets, but it is also present in other food ingredients such as soybean oil, corn oil, olive oil, and sunflower oil. Zinc 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).

Formulated without wheat gluten, it contains a balance of all the nutrients needed and removes those ingredients that cause a build up of waste in your dog’s system.Essential n-3 fatty acids in dog food help to treat the inflammation associated with allergic reactions. These essential fatty acids help to manage inflammatory responses by changing the levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids produced during a reaction. If you find that you are receiving your deliveries too often, or not often enough, you can alter the frequency of your easy-repeat deliveries. The primary aim of hydrolyzing proteins for specialized diets is to sufficiently disrupt the protein structure within the diet to remove any existing allergens and allergenic epitopes and thereby prevent immune recognition by patients already sensitized to the intact protein.
