    Have a crossbreed she's 7 now.

    Have mainly used Burns in the past. She's been on the pork and potato sensitive awhile now but seems skinnier.

    Looking for alternatives usually get the 7.5kg and it lasts the 2 months. Been a long time since I've looked at dogfoods so totally out of the loop these days.

    Usually order from Amazon for delivery.

    With dog food, if ain't broke, I always say don't fix it.

    I do find you need to feed a bit more of the Burns than it recommends on the packet. Have you tried giving her a bit more? It's a good food.

    Weight loss without any apparent reason is a good reason to visit the vet. Lots of diseases can cause it. It was one of the earlier signs when mine had cancer.

    Have you weighed her to see what she is? And done a body condition score?

    I had a thread years ago called something like “skinny dog on burns”.

    I changed the dog to skinners duck and rice field and trial.....it’s vat free. It’s similar to burns.
    You can see before and after pics.
