one.eyed.dog Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have been feeding Lottie Burgess super dog sensitive for about 18 months. It suits her. Her poo is normally a kind of dark green colour since she has been eating it. However. The last sack I got seems to be paler in colour and her poo has changed to a mustard colour. The ingrediants are the same. I was wondering if any of you fed this and if so have had the same reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redditchlady Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I used to feed it to mine Ellie, but I noticed about 3 months ago it looked different Korky went loose on it, so we changed over to Dr Johns. Kazz x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Grose Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Have a look at the ingredients list and if it contains EEC permitted additives one of them is probably a colouring agent. They quite probably have changed the one they use and that is why the colour has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClazUK Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 This happens from time to time, Ellie. Had a few batches like it at WL - I used to phone them every time, I'm betting they're glad I've gone I think it's the ratio of the stuff they use rather than a change in ingredients. I can't imagine them EVER adding colourants into a sensitive food - they seem very aware of how 'appreciated' their Sensitive is to a lot of us. Might be worth phoning them to check if there's a change, though. They were always really helpful to me. You might even get a replacement bag if you ask.

Mrs Mop Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have been feeding this to my dogs for over 5 years now, there are often a slight change in the colour but put this down to the ingredients and how they have been stored etc. Last summer was a wet summer as well all remember and it did affect the growing of the foods including sugar beet. Ingredients: Rice (min26%) Lamb meal (min 26%) Sugar beet pulp, animal fats, salk. With antioxidant EC additives. I won't by mine from shops like Pets at Home because it is far too warm in there for food like this, I get it from a food merchants who store them at a much cooler temperature. If stored at too high a temperature it can cause them to have mites in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggy.lover Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Ellie, You know I feed my lot on Sensitive too but I haven't noticed any difference. Like Mrs Mop though I get it from Batleys where it's kept under much cooler conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one.eyed.dog Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 This particular sack was a swap off swap shop and it came from Wrexham. I usually buy it at Batley's with Doggy Lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lainey Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Sensative foods are not good for dogs who are very sensative- the burgess sensative makes my Rio ill and allergic, and the skinners made her throw up severely after only trying 1 feed on it, so in my opinion of trying lots of foods for sensative dogs- just go for a food that has no chemical/artificial agents to it- Berrimans is superb for Rio, she is fit healthy and allergy free on it, but it isn't a 'sensative' food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one.eyed.dog Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Lottie has the contsitution of an ox. She is only on this food to firm up her poo as she has a wee anal gland problem. She is on sensitive as the ingredients are less additives/colourings. Rice not cereal etc. I fed her steak and kidney stew one night and unbeknown to me Dad had put 5 chilli's in. Nothing. No Deli belly at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin has a very sensitive tummy, it is the only food I have tried that doesn't give him the runs,and they are runny, like water. Burgess obviously doesn't suit your dog but it is wrong and misleading to say it isn't good for dogs when it is very good for 2 of mine. All 6 of my dogs are on this and all are thriving.
