 Using
Burns as a Dietetic Food
Intolerance to one or more ingredients in
the diet may well be one of the most common but least recognised
causes of ill health in our pets. Skin and digestive system
are the organs most commonly affected although any sign of
physical or mental ill health is possible.
I have formulated Burns using only ingredients which will
promote good health and vitality in our pets. Levels of protein,
fat and minerals are controlled to meet needs but avoid excess.
As with all Burns products you can be sure that you are giving
your dog only the best.
Burns Real Food will naturally maintain a
healthy immune system, coat and skin, digestive tract, skeletal,
respiratory and nervous system. It is also suitable for use
where holistic veterinary treatment is being used in the nutritional
management of disease .
