Burns Sensitive Adult Dry Dog Food

Manufacturers Product Description

These healthy and sensitive dog food recipes are formulated by Veterinary Surgeon John Burns containing simple, natural and novel ingredients, making it ideal for dogs with sensitive skin or digestion.

Containing some novel meat protein sourced; this means that if your dog has never eaten it before they will be less likely to have a reaction. It is a particularly good option for dogs with food allergies or intolerances.

Highly digestible and hypoallergenic, meaning it avoids the most common allergens such as beef, wheat, soya and dairy. We also don’t use any artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives.

This range of dog food is available in Chicken, Duck, Fish & Pork.

  • 🥩 Protein Quality 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐

    This range uses named meat meal, a concentrated protein source that provides high protein levels but undergoes some processing.

  • 🟡 Essential Amino Acids 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    This range allows for effective nutritional rotation; however, the low meat content makes it harder to balance amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

  • 🌾 Carbohydrate Balance 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐

    This range relies more on carbohydrates than maybe necessary, though the sources are still digestible and of reasonable quality.

  • 🟦 Biological Suitability 4/5 ⭐⭐

    This range offers a level of biological suitability. However, because of other poor factors it does come with a degree of caution.

💡 Our Recommendations

Rotation - Your Most Important Nutritional Strategy

🐾 No matter what food your dog eats, rotation is always recommended where possible to increase the probability of better all-round nutrition.

🔄 We highly recommend rotating within the same brand whenever possible. 🐶

This range includes the following rotation options: Chicken, Duck, Fish & Pork. The variety available allows for effective nutritional rotation, helping to balance amino acids, vitamins, and minerals over time.

Understanding Rotation

Natural Dog Treats

💡 Why Might Treats Be Considered?

All treats should serve a nutritional purpose. They either balance the dogs diet filling nutritional gaps, support digestion or promote joint/coat health. 

This food provides solid nutrition but may benefit from some carefully selected treats to complement specific nutrients and support overall well-being.

Recommended Treats to Complement Burns Sensitive Adult Dry Dog Food

Puffed Chicken Feet - A lighter, crunchy alternative to chicken feet, packed with glucosamine for joint support.

Rabbit Ear with Fur - A natural fibre source that aids digestion and supports gut health.

Tripe Sticks - A nutrient-rich, digestible protein source that supports gut health and immune function.

Cow’s Ear - A softer, chewy treat with low fat content, making it ideal for sensitive stomachs and digestion.

🚨 Caution: Treats should always be given in moderation. Even natural treats contribute to daily nutrition intake, so they should be part of a balanced feeding plan to avoid excess.

Supplements

💡Why Might Supplements Be Considered?

This food provides a solid nutritional foundation, though some nutrients may be less optimal than in higher-rated foods. Rotating protein sources and introducing targeted supplements, such as omega-3s or joint support, can help maintain overall well-being.

Our Recommended Supplement Range

Whole Foods - Additional Nutrients

Looking to enhance your dog’s diet naturally, whole foods can be a great way to introduce additional nutrients.

Even the healthiest whole foods can turn a well-balanced diet into something excessive if portion control is ignored. More nutrition doesn’t always mean better, it often means overload, leading to toxicity, digestive issues, or long-term organ strain.

✔ Whole foods should complement, not compete with a balanced diet.
✔ If you’re adding whole foods regularly, you must reduce the main food accordingly.
✔ If you have any questions about whole foods contact us to ensure the diet stays safe, balanced, and beneficial.

✅ Manufacturer Responsibility – The accuracy of any claims, ingredients, or nutritional values stated on this page is the responsibility of the manufacturer. If discrepancies arise, we encourage manufacturers to contact us with updated, verifiable information so we can reassess the review accordingly.

✅ Liability Waiver – The Delicious Dog Food Company is not liable for any consequences resulting from the use of the reviewed products. Dog owners should use their own judgment and consult professionals when necessary.

These ratings are determined using verifiable public data and a locked-in, repeatable methodology. No subjective opinions or outside influences affect the final score.

✅ Data and Transparency Policy – If a product lacks transparency regarding ingredients, processing methods, or nutrient values, we will always assume the worst-case scenario. Why? Because if the details were positive, they would be used in the marketing of the food.
