Julia,
I have heard some bad reports on it in that the rice content is far too
high.
Oh well who are we to say?
Norman.

If its who I think you mean, no its raw meat they changed to. I think its
cobblers myself, as dogs will naturally scavenge, as in the wild they would
have to eat when they can and what they find and when they find it. Its just
an inherent thing, some are just worse than others. I'm not knocking Burns,
but just feel one or two people uphold it and just block everything else out
and just think its the best as its what their dogs do well on. I'd be
interested to try Wren on it, but the cost is the deciding factor.

Pam,
I feed him twice, as asked by Guide Dogs. He'll feed himself a few more
times if I let him get away with anything! He's the most dreadful scavenger.
One guide dog handler commented that their dog was scavenging less since she
changed the dog's diet, and I have an idea she changed to Burns, but can't
be sure now. I found that bit interesting though. Maybe dogs scavenge for
things that are missing from their diet, which sounds more or less
comman-sense. Years ago, my geese stopped pecking at the greenhouse windows
when I put linseed into their feed; that way they could lose interest in the
putty that held the greenhouse together! Maybe it works like that for dogs.
Vince.

Norman,
The big kibble sounds like a good idea. My mutt gets through a bowlful of RC
in about half a minute, then he belches! The food can't even be touching the
sides. It doesn't seem good for him to eat like that, but I can't actually
point to any problems caused by it. If I ate like that I'd be doubled up
with reflux. Still, I'm not a dog.

Hi Pam, Vince and All,
Seeing Dogs start their dogs on Pedigree when they qualify. It is up to us
what diet we use as we do have to pay for everything ourselves. I use Dr
John which is big kibble which the dogs have to chew. It is not just bolted
down. With this picky madam I have to put some tined meat in as well to get
her to eat anything. I give her 10 minutes and if it has been left it is
lifted.
That's having a Shepherd for you in a situation where there is no
psychological competition.
Norman.

Pam,
My dog gets Royal Cannin too, which is what Guide Dogs supply. As far as I
can tell, he does very well on it.
Have you noticed any changes now your dog has a new diet?
Vince.
