Dogs with sensitive stomachs have special dietary needs – made without any of the usual ingredients that may cause upset such as beef, eggs, dairy, wheat and soya. Our sensitive range features highly digestible proteins, prebiotics and antioxidants to provide your pets with the nutrients they need, without the upset tummy and runny poos.
Dogs are omnivores, meaning they live on a diet of both meat and vegetables. While most dogs can consume almost any food that they can get their paws on, others can be more sensitive. An episode of flatulence or diarrhoea can be triggered in some dogs if something they eat doesn’t agree with them. We call this a ‘sensitive stomach’ – which includes a mild upset of the digestive system, and this can range from a gurgling gut and nasty smells from the rear end right the way through to sickness and diarrhoea.
Your dog’s digestive system plays a key part in ensuring that all of the nutrients they consume can be absorbed and utilised. Keeping an eye on their behaviour, eating habits and stool is key to maintaining dog health, and should you notice anything irregular, you should speak to your vet immediately. They may recommend dog food for sensitive stomachs, which is something that we here at Burgess Pet Care can help with.
Our Burgess Sensitive range is a complete dry dog food range suitable for puppies aged 6 weeks to 12 months, and adult dogs from 12 months upwards. Our Sensitive Puppy food is also suitable for pregnant and nursing mothers to support growth and development throughout pregnancy. Created using premium ingredients to ensure excellent quality and superior taste, our dry dog food for sensitive stomachs is good for digestion and is also fortified with calcium to support growing bones and teeth. They also contain yucca extract and beet pulp which helps to reduce stool odour and helps to form solid poos, usually an issue in dogs with sensitive digestion.
Our Burgess Sensitive formulations are free from many typical ingredients that can cause intolerances for some dogs, and we use the finest ingredients to ensure excellent quality and taste. Our recipes include highly digestible proteins, prebiotics, beet pulp and rich sources of omega 3 fatty acids to help maintain healthy digestion, skin and coat condition.
A good diet for your dog includes a high-quality pet food that consists of healthy ingredients for development and general health. Providing them the right amount based on their age, size, breed, and lifestyle is also important.

We all know that dogs aren’t exactly fussy eaters – eating almost anything they can get their paws on. However, despite this big appetite, dogs can’t decide what is nutritionally good for them, which leaves it up to pet owners to provide them with a balanced diet throughout their lives. A complete diet consists of the right balance of protein, fibre, fats, minerals, vitamins and water – all in the correct proportions so as not to upset your dog’s tummy. At Burgess, we are dedicated to improving the health and welfare of animals through research and education. In fact, the health and happiness of pets is our number one goal, and our expertise in animal nutrition helps us achieve this. Our Burgess Sensitive range has been specially designed with your dog in mind, incorporating highly digestible proteins, antioxidants and yucca extract to aid digestion, gut bacteria and poo formation. Without the right diet, your pet may suffer from constipation, diarrhoea, and vomiting, along with more serious problems such as colitis, which is inflammation of the large intestine. With the right diet, your dog can lead a happy and healthy life.

Just as in people, an episode of flatulence or diarrhoea can be triggered in some dogs if their food doesn’t agree with them. This is known as having a ‘sensitive stomach’. Because your dog’s digestive system is crucial in making sure all the nutrients from their food can be absorbed and used, it is very important that they are fed dog food that can help support this, without making them ill.
When searching for a sensitive dog food you should look for a food that is highly digestible and has a full list of ingredients, so you know what you are feeding your dog. Highly digestible ingredients are easy to digest reducing the volume of faeces and providing more nutrients for the weight of food.
At Burgess, our sensitive dog food range includes:
Upset stomachs can be caused by a range of factors. Some puppies with sensitive stomachs are just unlucky and are born with them. Therefore, they need dog food for their sensitive tummy. However, this condition can also pop up unexpectedly at any age.
Beyond this, changing your dog’s diet can set off tummy trouble, as can giving them high volumes of dog treats or foods, they should not be eating. Worms, a bacterial infection, and motion sickness during travel can all result in symptoms of stomach upset.
When it comes to feeding your dog following an upset stomach, a bland diet is often recommended. It’s always best to speak to your vet for information on the best foods to give your dog, especially if it has allergies or food intolerances.
Your vet may recommend that following a bland diet, your dog should transition to a sensitive food such as Burgess Sensitive. Gradually introduce the new food by mixing it in with the old over a period of 7-10 days until the new food completely replaces the old diet.
Food allergies are one of the most commonly found allergies in dogs and can even impact the skin. Some of the more common dog food allergy symptoms include itching and sneezing, itchy paws, hot spots, skin rashes, scaly or oily skin, pigmented skin, and skin that has more of a leathery texture. Other signs of dietary sensitivity with your dog may include chronic ear problems, vomiting, gas, diarrhoea, coughing, and wheezing. Food intolerances are much more common than true allergies with the usual symptom being loose stools. We would always recommend that you speak to your vet if your dog is showing any of these symptoms.
Some of the more common food allergens are beef, dairy, wheat, egg, lamb, soy, pork. A dog food with a full list of ingredients will allow you to spot any potential problems and avoid these. However, ensuring that your pet still receives the right nutritional value is important – with the right mix of vitamins and minerals to support a happy and healthy life. Our Burgess Sensitive dog food range is hypoallergenic, and with a full list of ingredients for every product you know exactly what you are feeding your dog. This means you can avoid any ingredients that trigger adverse food reactions. It is important to remember that each dog is an individual and may have different needs. If you ever have any concerns about feeding your dog the correct diet, it is always best to seek the advice of your vet.
Switching from puppy to adult food depends on the age and breed of your dog. However, as a general rule if your puppy is a small or medium breed:
If your puppy is a large or giant breed:
Since maturity and adulthood can be tough to predict, you can talk to the shelter, breeder, or rescue groups where you adopted your dog – as well as talking with your vet to know exactly when to switch a puppy to adult food. The importance of switching lies with nutrition.
After deciding it is time to switch your puppy to adult dog food, it’s time to consider how you will go about it. You should begin slowly. Transition your puppy to adult food over a seven to ten-day period, gradually increasing the ratio of adult food to puppy food.
According to the PDSA, skin problems are, ‘’really common in pets – in fact, it’s the most common reason that pets need to see a vet.’’ From itchy skin, rashes and sore skin through to scabs, itchy eyes and swelling, these are very real signs that your pet has allergies, which may be being caused by fleas, dust, pollen, grass, certain foods, or even household cleaning products.
If you think your pet is allergic or intolerant to something in their food, your vet will advise you on the best way to work out what the trigger might be. Once it’s been identified, then you can manage the adverse food reaction much better. Our Burgess Sensitive range of complete dry dog food has a full list of ingredients so you can see exactly what you are feeding your dog.
