How lovely Gracie gets the chance to spend lots of time with you. 🙂 Shame Grumpy cat is still grumpy! Hopefully with time she will mellow towards her sister. Xxx

Thank you for your response however Jed and Lottie are actually on Burns Alert lamb and rice. I will try the contact number but I have to say at the moment I am throwing away more food than they are eating.

Florence has been the same, we have tried Skinners, she will eat it - most of the time- so am currently on the Tails.com 2 week £1 trial (as recommend on here a couple of weeks ago). So far we have no problems. Bowl is cleaned so no throwing most of it away and poops have improved. Early days yet but we are hopeful! X

I'll miss seeing this boy in the top kennel. He made us laugh the other weekend - we were getting ready to do afternoon walks and he was sitting bolt upright in his kennel, making it obvious that he is a REALLY good hound and deserves a walk. Lovely lad that will be a pleasure to have at home.

I’ve had a lot of fun today. This morning my sister found the rusbbish bin on its side and all the rubbish on the floor! It was me!! Hehe at least I was entertained for an hour last night! I tipped the bin over took the rubbish out and ripped the bag that was in there into streads! My sister gave me a few weird looks after but didn’t shout. When my dad got back he was eating a very tasty looking sandwich. I stole half of it haha! He asked me if I took it, I just stared at him while he was also gave me really weird looks. For dinner I’m haveing battered sausage and chips! My favourite! Tomorrow I am going to see auntie Klaire and Cousin Florence. So excited. I’ll tell you how it goes tomorrow! Barney Xx

I am sorry to hear you have recently been having problems with the Sensitive Pork & Potato food. We moved to a different factory in February and although our recipes have remained the same, the food is now being made on a different machine so has been varying in consistency. With the Pork & Potato in particular it has been difficult to get the kibble right as it is quite a sticky mixture and has been varying in colour and some kibbles have been quite large. The density has also been an issue which can mean there is more air pockets than usual in the kibble, or even less air pockets than usual! This can mean than more food is feeding into a measuring cup than was previously so can result in the dog getting more food a day than they were on the previous bag. We don't use chemical stabilisers in the food which makes it tricky to get the consistency to be perfect but the factory have been working on this in great detail and we changed our pork supplier in September so we are now a lot happier with the newer bags coming through. The reason we moved factories as the new factory is a smaller family run business and we have created a number of jobs for them, we believe this fits more with the ethos of Burns. If you have any questions please contact our free nutritional helpline on info@burnspet.co.uk or call on 0800 083 6696 and we can look into it further and hopefully sort out any problems! Many thanks, Laura, Nutrition Supervisor

So pleased to see Sweet Dusty's rehoming picture. I've enjoyed a few walks with her and plenty of fuss. I bet she's settled in already!

At the end of week 7 Gracie continues to be a joy. It's lucky we don't need her as a guard dog because she welcomes all visitors with the waggiest tail and lots of cuddles. We have been a bit stricter with Grumpy cat but it's fair to say she still likes to make Gracie feel unwelcome particularly in the evening. The rest of the day is not too bad though so that's progress. We need to start leaving her more as Grumpy cat gives her some peace but luckily she comes with us everywhere because she's so well behaved and everyone loves her.

Have a look at Tails.com - you can try for free. My three are doing really well on it, it's so easy they bring it to the door. You can tailor it to both dogs, Archive is a fussy git even he has eaten this for ages, he also when first moved on to it was able to cut out his nutraquin for his back pain. we don't have hardly any upset tummys, all three are shiny, and their teeth are getting claimed on it to.

Burglar Barney struck yesterday but don't have any proof. My half eaten Tuna sandwich disappeared and I asked him if it was him but he kept quiet.This morning he emptied the rubbish bin all over the floor. And had my slippers. I think it's time to let him know who's boss with a few more harsh stares.

This is the answer from Burns that I received today after asking them if the ingredients had changed Thank you for your email, we have not changed the recipe of the Pork & Potato food but we did move to a different factory in February. We did find that the kibbles were larger and more pale in colour so we changed to a different pork supplier in September. We are now much happier with these bags of food and hopefully they will suit your dog better
