As a family-owned business with over 300 years of history, the health and wellbeing of pet animals is Burgess Pet Care’s number one goal and we’re proud of our expert knowledge in animal nutrition.

All dog lovers know that canines are pretty special. That loyal, affectionate waggy-tailed chum who wakes up full of joy for the day ahead and is always pleased to see you. What’s a few muddy paw prints on your kitchen tiles, dog hair on your sofa and the odd chewed slipper between such close friends?

Canines are our longest-known animal companions, evolving from a shared ancestor with wolves and becoming domesticated somewhere between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago. Over thousands of years, the constant close contact between canines and humans has meant that dogs have developed specific skills that enable them to interact and communicate more efficiently with people than any other animal. We love our dogs and our dogs love us too, wanting to be involved in everything we do, picking up on our every move, gesture and emotion. This is perhaps why we see them more as a friend, rather than a pet.

Our canine pals deserve to live their best doggy life – with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, playtime and, of course, top quality nutrition.

Dogs and food

Dogs are not, as is often believed, classified as carnivores, but as omnivores – benefiting from a healthy diet that contains both animal and plant-based foods such as grains. In fact, even wolves in the wild derive nutrition from both plant and animal sources.

However, while most dogs will eat almost anything, that doesn’t mean they always eat what’s good for them! In the past, dogs were simply fed the scraps left over from the household meals. However, human food doesn’t contain all of the essential nutrients in the right amounts, which is why it’s never a good idea to give your dog the remnants of your dinner.

In fact, it wasn’t until the 1930s that foods specially designed for pets appeared. Even as recently as 30 years ago, there was no real understanding of what dogs require at different stages of their lives.

Today, things are very different and the science of pet nutrition has come a long way. We now know much more about the significant role nutrition plays when it’s tailored to the different stages of a dog’s development, ensuring the optimum quality of life for the longest time possible.

A diet for life

The optimum diet for your pet is one that supplies the correct number of calories and balance of nutrients for their size, life stage and lifestyle. This means calculating the nutrient content and dietary components such as protein, fat, carbohydrate and vitamins and minerals required.

A dog’s nutritional needs varies throughout their life. For example:

Puppies require a little more protein to support their growing muscles and the right balance of calcium and phosphorus for developing bones and teeth
Adult dogs require foods that are naturally rich in protein for good muscle maintenance and essential fatty acids to help nourish their coat and maintain healthy eyes
Neutered dogs, or those who are not as mobile, require fewer calories supplied in ‘light’ recipes
Older dogs benefit from added glucosamine for optimal joint mobility and prebiotics to aid the body’s natural defences

Why choose Burgess Dog Food?

At Burgess, all our pet food is produced in line with FEDIAF (the European pet food industry federation) nutritional guidelines. These guidelines, which are based on many pieces of published research, helps us to calculate the nutrient content and dietary components such as protein, fat, carbohydrate and vitamins and minerals required to ensure all our foods meet the detailed nutritional requirements for the pets they are designed for.

Adult dogs

Adult dogs can choose from Supadog Adult Chicken or Supadog Adult Beef. Both are naturally rich in protein for good muscle development and maintenance. Plus, the kibbles are basted in meat juice for extra lip-licking deliciousness. Our recipes also contain biotin and zinc to support skin and coat health, added calcium for healthy teeth and bones and antioxidants to support the immune system and can be fed from 12 months.

Neutered, or less mobile dogs

Most pet dogs are neutered when they are young adults. Neutering both males and females tends to slow their metabolic rate, so that they use the food that they take in more efficiently. Great care needs to be taken as their growth slows down to ensure that they do not become overweight. Supadog Finest Adult Light Chicken has been specially created for overweight adult dogs. The recipe features:

L-Carnitine to help reduce and then maintain your pet’s weight at the correct level
Added glucosamine for optimal joint mobility
Two prebiotics to aid the body’s natural defences
Linseed, zinc and biotin for coats, skin and fur
Added yucca to help make stools less smelly
Contains antioxidants to support the immune system
Beet pulp to aid healthy digestion

Senior dogs

A dog is classed as older when it reaches around eight years old. This is when greying of the muzzle and slowing down of the body begins. From aged 10, dogs are classed as senior and from aged 12, geriatric. How a dog ages depends on the breed and their life experience.

Supadog Finest Mature Dog Chicken has been designed to ease the effects of ageing helping mobility, gum health and maintaining a healthy body. It can be fed from age 7 onwards and features:

Added glucosamine for optimal joint mobility
Two prebiotics to aid the body’s natural defences
Linseed, zinc and biotin for coats, skin and fur
Added yucca to help make stools less smelly
Contains antioxidants to support the immune system
Beet pulp to aid healthy digestion

How to measure dog food portions

How much your dog needs to eat depends on their age, lifestyle and health. Always read and follow the on-pack feeding instructions that relate to the food you choose.

Accurate and regular weighing of food portions is essential to maintain a healthy weight. Too many calories and too little exercise causes obesity. This can lead to all manner of health and wellbeing issues including osteoarthritis, diabetes, cardiac disease and cancer – along with the inability to exhibit natural behaviours – overweight dogs find even a gentle walk hard work.

Use a kitchen scale to weigh out the correct daily amount of dog food as outlined on the packaging or use a dry-food measuring cup.

Place the weighed or measured-out food into a storage container. Whether you feed your dog twice, three times or more a day, take the amount from their daily ration in the container so you’ll know your dog is getting just the right amount of food – not too much and not too little.

If you’d like more feeding advice, call our helpful expert team on 0800 413 969. They’re available 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday.
