    Golden Retrievers are also prone to allergies, which manifest on their skin, and in their eyes and nose. We found that James Welbeloved worked really well for our Retriever Cross. It stopped the upset tummies and also her allergies. Give it a go I think it was definitely worth it.
    We since moved to Robbies, which isn't as widely available but was because we needed one food for a puppy and her and we could do that with it.

    But why cant you feed the Adult Burns?

    Ya stick to the burns adult, it can be fed from 6 months. I changed ours from it thinking I could do better and have nothing but trouble with one dog loosing weight and really sensitive tum so if I had known I never would have changed!

    Although I do think there are far better foods out there. Burns is 65% rice I think?

    Whites do a sensitive food, around €40/45 for 15kg delivered from their website if you want to change from burns adult for whatever reason.

    I feed my guy's and gla's on Gain big dog. I have no problem with it and one of my guy's would have a very sensitive tummy aswell.

    Which version of Burns are you feeding at the minute? If it's mini bites or canine extra then change to this one

    If it's high energy lamb then change to this one.

    Saying that they don't do specific puppy food, the high energy foods are suitable for adults as well, though I wouldn't feed minibites to an adult large dog as they'd just swallow it whole, if they have to crunch it it's better for their teeth.

    Or is their some specific reason why you want to change to a completely different brand?

    The whole Burns range is good - Chicken & Rice would be fine for your dog.
