Burns Adult Sensitive Duck & Brown Rice 12kg

Burns Adult Sensitive Duck & Brown Rice is part of the Burns Sensitive Range — a carefully considered collection of recipes designed for dogs with food intolerances, sensitivities, or those who simply need a gentle, easily digestible diet. Formulated by Veterinary Surgeon John Burns MBE, this recipe uses duck as a novel protein source paired with wholegrain brown rice — a combination that is both highly digestible and unlikely to trigger adverse food reactions in sensitive dogs.

Key Benefits

• Duck — novel protein source — duck is less commonly used in mainstream dog foods than chicken, beef or lamb, making it significantly less likely to have caused prior sensitisation; an excellent choice for dogs who have reacted to more common proteins
• Wholegrain brown rice — a naturally digestible wholegrain carbohydrate providing sustained energy, dietary fibre and gentle support for healthy digestion
• Single source protein — duck only, with no mixing of protein sources; makes it easier to identify and manage dietary triggers in dogs with suspected or confirmed food allergies
• Low in fat — supports healthy weight maintenance, particularly important for less active or sensitive adult and senior dogs
• Highly digestible — gentle on the digestive system, designed for maximum nutrient absorption in dogs with sensitive stomachs
• Hypoallergenic — free from wheat, soya, dairy, beef and chicken; no artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives
• Suitable for adult and senior dogs of all breeds

Suitable For

Adult and senior dogs with food intolerances or sensitivities, particularly those who have reacted to common proteins such as chicken, beef or lamb. Also well suited as a long-term maintenance diet for dogs requiring a clean, low-fat, highly digestible complete food. The single novel protein base makes this a strong candidate for elimination diet trials under veterinary guidance.

Feeding Guide

Recommended daily amounts: 10g per kg of bodyweight for adult dogs; 8g per kg of bodyweight for senior dogs. Adjust based on your dog’s individual condition and activity level. Transition gradually over 7–10 days when switching foods. Store in a cool, dry place and use within 3 months of opening. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why duck? Isn’t that unusual in dog food?

Yes — and that’s precisely the point. Duck is a novel protein that most dogs have not been regularly exposed to through their diet, making it far less likely to trigger an immune reaction in dogs with food sensitivities. It’s an excellent option for dogs who have already tried and reacted to chicken, beef or lamb.

How does this differ from Burns Sensitive Pork & Potato?

Both are novel-protein sensitive diets from the Burns Sensitive Range, but there are two key differences: protein source (duck vs pork) and carbohydrate base (brown rice vs potato). Burns Sensitive Duck & Brown Rice contains grain (brown rice), while Burns Sensitive Pork & Potato is grain free. If your dog also has a grain sensitivity, the Pork & Potato formula may be more appropriate. If grain is not an issue but a different novel protein is needed, Duck & Brown Rice is a great option.

Can I use this for an elimination diet trial?

Yes — the single novel protein (duck only) and simple carbohydrate base (brown rice) make this well suited for a dietary elimination trial. For an effective trial, feed exclusively with no other foods, treats, chews or supplements for the full duration recommended by your vet. Always conduct elimination trials under veterinary supervision.

Is this suitable for senior dogs?

Yes — Burns Adult Sensitive Duck & Brown Rice is suitable for both adult and senior dogs. The low-fat, highly digestible formula is particularly well suited to older dogs whose digestive systems may be more sensitive or who need to manage their weight.

Is this hypoallergenic?

Yes — like all Burns diets, this formula is free from wheat, soya, dairy, beef and chicken, and contains no artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives. The use of duck as a single novel protein further reduces the risk of an adverse food reaction.

Is this a complete dog food?

Yes — Burns Adult Sensitive Duck & Brown Rice is a complete dog food containing all the nutrients your dog needs in the correct proportions. No additional supplementation is required.
