Burgess Supadog Adult dry dog food with tasty chicken 15 kg

Product Information

Unless you’ve been specifically advised by your vet to feed a raw diet, adult dry dog food tends to be a safer choice. At a recent British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) congress, there was universal agreement that homemade raw feeding can be dangerous, simply because it is so difficult to get it right in terms of nutrients and balance. It was also highlighted that handling raw meat products is riskier, so dog owners need to be careful when preparing the food. Burgess pledge that for every bag of 12.5kg Supadog Rich in Salmon sold, we will donate 20p to dog rescues across the UK in the form of free food. The RSPCA stresses the importance of feeding your dog the right food, stating: “Some owners favour wet foods for their dog over dry. However, dry dog food may have the added benefit of exercising their chewing muscles and provide a mild cleaning effect on the teeth.” How much and how often should I feed my senior dog?

FOOD ALLERGIES UNDER INVESTIGATION What’s the difference between a food allergy and food intolerance? And how can you tell if your dog or cat is suffering from one or the other? At Burgess, all of our kibble for dogs is made using thermal extrusion. The process involves grinding down a range of quality ingredients into a fine flour and mixing them together. When the time comes to move your dog to senior dog food, you want to be sure you’re making the best choice for your canine chum. Solid poos: Beet pulp is a great source of dietary fibre and helps to form solid poos. Firm poos are a good indicator that your dog is on a diet that suits their needs. Table scraps (in large amounts) – Table scraps are not nutritionally balanced and if excessively fed can lead to obesity. Fat should be trimmed from meat; bones should not be fed

Benefits

DID YOU KNOW? It wasn’t until the 1930s that foods specially designed for pets appeared. Even as recently as 30 years ago, there was no real understanding of what dogs require at different stages of their lives. Today, we now know much more about the significant role nutrition plays when it’s tailored to the different stages of a dog’s development, ensuring the optimum quality of life for the longest time possible. Zinc (as Zinc sulphate monohydrate) 100 mg/kg, Iron (as Iron (II) sulphate monohydrate) 40 mg/kg, Manganese (as Manganese (II) oxide) 10 mg/kg, Copper (as Copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate) 5 mg/kg, Iodine (as Calcium iodate anhydrous) 1 mg/kg, Selenium (as Sodium selenite) 0.1 mg/kg. They say that dogs are man’s best friend, but we know, whether they’re Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Beagles or Huskies, dogs can be good companions for anyone. Loving and playful animals, they enjoy lots of attention and belly rubs, and of course, chasing after a ball, frisbee or toy. Going on walks and being let off their leads to explore, play and meet other dogs can also bring them much delight, as does a comfy dog bed, and a healthy diet that helps meet their dietary requirements. 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. This table is a guide to feeding a healthy, active dog. Every dog is different so adjust as necessary depending on your pets’ appetite, environment and activity level. Always ensure you are monitoring your dog’s body condition to ensure a healthy weight. Don’t forget to take treats into account when working out their daily feeding requirements.

Coat health: As dog’s age, their coat can become dull and lose its shine. Added zinc and linseed helps to maintain a glossy coat. The healthiest dog food should provide the correct number of calories, dietary components and balance of nutrients for a dog’s size, life stage and lifestyle. A high-quality dry dog food will contain easily digestible protein, fat and carbohydrate. It should also include vitamins and minerals such as zinc, to support skin and coat health, and calcium to support healthy teeth and bones.

SHOP BY PET
