We are having the same problem with the Burns, one of our boys will eat anything but the other one seems not to like it anymore, and is not finishing his meals anymore, we need a low protein as our boy Jack has borderline kidney failure, I have spoken to our petshop guy who is brilliant and we are trying to find an alternative, if you lower the maize content it pushes the protein content up apparently. We may try Autarky lite as this has a lower protein content but natural ingredients, just confused as to what to do!!!!! Xx

Skinners do a variety of foods, my 4 love it. When I had Stevie he lost weight on Burns and Skinners was highly recommended. They have a variety of protein options and All of them are readily available from Fetch if the kennels don't have the one you want, although I am sure that they will get whatever you want. Mine have had no tummy problems with this, even new boy Flloyd, who has steadily put on weight! X

Hi Wendy We have also noticed that Paddy seems the same.. pushing the Burns around and also has bouts of the runs now and he normally eats anything We tried Skinners but also gave him the runs We were always told max protein should be 20% but difficult to know what to try ourselves Going to look round & scrutinize all the bags in the pet shops lol We always gave Ele Wainwright's mature lamb dry food Other brands are available as they say lol Let us know how you get on X x

My two are not really enjoying Burns anymore Lottie who normally inhales her food is pushing it round the bowl. Can anyone tell me the percentage of protein the dry food should have Burns is 18.5 and I have seen a natural dry food but the protein is 25 and I am thinking this is a bit high. Incidentally my pet shop have spoken to Burns and they have confirmed they have changed their manufacturing.

Just sent Nifty a hug. He should really have gone by now! Nifty was so well behaved at the Show on Sunday and it is clear that he would easily fit into domestic life.
