Burns Nutrition


Does anyone feed?

As much as I was trying to avoid dry food as Chloe is prone to cystitis, I understand from Burns that it is the quality of the dry food that causes the problems rather than the dry itself. So a good quality dry is better than poor quality moist.

I am going to try this for a while and see how Chloe is with regard to the quality rather than the moisture in the food.

Any thoughts?

Re: Burns Nutrition


My boys eat Burns as their dry rations plus wet food (about 50/50).
Dinah has 100% Burns and she is great (tho' she is a dog, of course!).
I've always been happy with it but can only speak as I find.

I don't know the pros and cons either Donna and will be interested to see what others say.

Re: Burns Nutrition


If she is prone to cystitis I would have thought a wet diet is better for her than dry food unless she is having a specific urinary dry diet.



Personally Burns is not a favourite of mine.

Re: Burns Nutrition


I don't know Burns; but when Leia had cystitis my vet said give her wet, and encourage her to drink more. I'd be interested also in your results, as Leia really prefers dry .....

Re: Burns Nutrition


Oh poor pusscats. Doesn't sound as if the food agrees with them for such a quick reaction to have happened.

Should also say poor you!

Re: Burns Nutrition


Burns also do a wet cat food, it's quite expensive though. I bought 2 boxes of the stuff but my cats wont bloody touch it You are welcome to have a couple of pouches to try it if you like.

Re: Burns Nutrition


LOL I cant win with cat food!!! Dry food has got to be off the menu as Misty gulps it down so quick and that is why she ends up sick.... Chloe generally doesnt do well on dry so maybe I just forget dry food!!!

I did see they do wet food Elaine... and they also do a single pouch... was thinking of buying a couple.. think they do two varieties?

I can pay you for a couple if you let me know the postage and costs?
