Product Information

They say that dogs are man’s best friend, but we know, whether they’re Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Beagles or Huskies, dogs can be good companions for anyone. Loving and playful animals, they enjoy lots of attention and belly rubs, and of course, chasing after a ball, frisbee or toy. Going on walks and being let off their leads to explore, play and meet other dogs can also bring them much delight, as does a comfy dog bed, and a healthy diet that helps meet their dietary requirements. When it comes to dishing out your dog’s dinner, the golden rule is don’t guestimate. Giving your canine chum a little more than they need, along with too many treats and the leftovers from your own dinner, is a recipe for disaster. If this is a regular pattern, you run the risk of your dog becoming overweight, which can lead to all manner of health problems, along with the inability to exhibit natural behaviours – obese dogs find even a gentle walk hard work. Xylitol – This artificial sweetener sneaks its way into all sorts of foods – from peanut butter to jellies and jams and is highly toxic to canines. After a dog consumes a significant amount of xylitol, there is a massive release of insulin from the pancreas. This, in turn, results in a dangerously low blood sugar level and symptoms such as weakness, trembling, seizures, collapse, and even death

To help you understand more about what to consider when choosing premium kibble, we’ve put together some really useful answers from our nutrition team at Burgess, the pet care experts . Puppies, with their small stomachs need three or four small meals a day, while adult dogs generally have two meals a day. Sometimes, elderly dogs benefit from three or four smaller meals. WHY HUMANS WILL ALWAYS FALL FOR THOSE PUPPY DOG EYES Your dog’s ability to melt your heart could be down to the variety of facial expressions they employ. The most potent of these is ‘puppy dog eyes’, which, as every canine knows, is the fail-safe way to press your human’s soppy button. And now scientists have proved that dogs know exactly what they’re doing... Their size is also an important factor in how much adult dog food you should give them. Small, not very active dogs need only about 185 to 370 calories daily while large, active canines may need between 1,000 and 2,000 calories.Onions and garlic (raw, cooked, or powder) – Contain sulfoxides and disulfides – chemical compounds which can damage red blood cells and cause anaemia. At Burgess, all of our kibble for dogs is made using thermal extrusion. The process involves grinding down a range of quality ingredients into a fine flour and mixing them together. Our dogs’ stomachs are adapted to accept large quantities of food in any single session. Their stomach can create extra space by relaxing the muscular fibres in its walls and “unfolding” into a large reservoir where the food is churned and mixed before it is passed through the final part of the stomach (the pylorus) into the small intestine. The partially digested food, combined with gastric juices, is called chyme. A healthy diet for an adult dog should contain good-quality meat or fish for protein, supplemented with vegetable proteins such as soya, grains or peas. And, as your dog goes through different life stages, their nutrition needs change. A puppy needs a different blend of nutrients compared to an adult or senior dog.

Dogs are classed as ‘adult’ from around 18 months, although this depends on their breed. Smaller breeds tend to hit their ‘teenage’ adolescent phase earlier than larger breeds who develop more slowly. A small breed dog will often be mature by around a year old, whereas a giant breed can be two years plus before they’re classed as an adult. If you’re not sure whether your dog has reached adulthood, ask your vet for advice. Your dog has several salivary glands located around the jaw and mouth. These glands’ function is to help lubricating the passage of food to the stomach.
