A
Happy Customer!
"As
owner of a 2 year old Lhasa Apso I’d just like to let
you know how fantastic my dog (Charlie)’s coat has been
since changing over to Burns.
I used to have to bath him every 2 to 3 weeks because he smelled
very ‘doggie.’ Since changing his food he hasn’t
needed a bath between his trips to be bathed and clipped which
are every 7 to 8 weeks.
This has made a huge difference to both of us………especially
as the bathroom usually ended up looking as if a whirlwind had
gone through it.
His coat is also silkier and he seems livelier than ever.
I cannot recommend this food enough."

Taking
Control!
The
Scottish SPCA has called for parents across Scotland to take
more responsibility for the behaviour of their children after
another sickening catalogue of violence against animals over
the past year.
Launched
during Scottish Animal Week, the charity’s plea is supported
by shocking statistics which show that attacks have risen by
almost 20 percent compared to the last two years and that even
more are taking place during school holidays.

A
life on the Ocean Wave!
An
intrepid explorer from Kidwelly is going to be thrown in at
the deep end as he plans a round-the- world yacht trip, despite
being a sailing novice.
Twenty-one-year-old
Bryn Edwards will be sailing as part of a team of four in a
50-boat regatta which will leave Gibraltar on Wednesday, October
17.
"Three
weeks across the Atlantic is the one thing I'm most worried
about." said Bryn "We won't see any land for the whole
time, and despite the fact that we will be part of a 50-boat
fleet, we are unlikely to see any of them until we reach land."
The
boat, which is a 45ft wooden hulled vessel, is owned by friends,
and this is how Bryn got the opportunity. He said: "It's
an old boat, but I'm sure it will be able to withstand the challenge."
The
regatta is an expedition, not a competitive event, island hopping
at places like the Caribbean, Galapagos Islands, Australia,
and the Suez Canal, sometimes visiting places only accessible
by boat.
Thanks
to support from Burns Pet Nutrition, Bryn is close to raising
the £7,000 to £10,000 needed for the trip.

you would like to sponsor Bryn, contact him on 07966 208052.
Dog
Fighting Still Goes On
It's
a sad fact, but despite recent publicity in the media, dog fighting
rings still exist. The RSPCA has a 24 hour cruelty line and
is asking for people to call confidentially to let them know
where fights are taking place.

As
a company, we at Burns are well aware of our environmental responsibilities.
A small group of Head Office staff meet regularly to look at how we
might address the many issues regarding waste, recycling and energy
usage. Our new office has solar heating and utilises natural sheep wool
as insulation. We segregate our waste for recycling, and are looking
at the materials that we use for packaging to ensure that these can
easily be recycled.
