"I thought that you might be interested
in the history of my little dog named “Sioned”.
In the spring of 2006 she developed a severe limp in
the front right leg. I consulted the Vet he suggested
that she had a defect in the shoulder and gave her an
injection; he then said that it was possible that she
would require an injection every month for the rest
of her life.
"At this time the nurse weighed
her and we discovered that she was 32.5kg.; her ideal
weight should have been 25kg. I asked the Vet if I could
consult a chiropractor for a second opinion, he agreed
saying that some manipulation of the joints might help.
"The Vet started her on a Diet
food ...she did loose a small amount of weight but the
chiropractor said she needed to attend a Hydrotherapy
pool to strengthen her legs.
"I took her to Adams Canine Hydrotherapy
at Darley Abbey, Sandra the proprietor advised me to
telephone the Burns Nutrition helpline to seek help
with her diet, I spoke to a member of your staff and
explained the problem... she told me that we should
be aiming for the target weight whereas the Vets were
aiming at the existing weight, this would explain why
she has got to 29.5kg and come to a standstill.
"I would take her to swimming twice
a week and we noticed a marked improvement but it was
not until March of this year that she lost the limp;
the swimming coupled with Burns food gave her a new
lease of life.
"Now that she is a slim 24.5kg
she is like a coiled spring she would run all day if
I let her, Now John Burns should develop a food that
I could take to enable me to keep up with her!"
