Burns Adult Sensitive Pork & Potato 12kg

Burns Adult Sensitive Pork & Potato is part of the Burns Sensitive Range — a collection of recipes designed for dogs that need a gentle, highly digestible diet, whether due to food intolerances, sensitive digestion, or the need for a clean maintenance diet. Formulated by Veterinary Surgeon John Burns MBE, this recipe uses pork as an exceptionally novel protein source paired with potato as a grain-free carbohydrate — making it one of the most distinctive and allergen-avoidant recipes in the Burns range.

Key Benefits

• Pork — highly novel protein — pork is one of the rarest protein sources used in mainstream dog foods, making it an excellent choice for dogs who have developed intolerances to chicken, lamb, beef or fish; the immune system is very unlikely to have been previously sensitised to pork protein
• Potato — grain free carbohydrate — potato replaces rice or brown rice as the primary carbohydrate, making this formula completely grain free; ideal for dogs with sensitivities to grains as well as common proteins
• Single source protein — pork only, with no mixing of protein sources; makes it significantly easier to identify, manage and eliminate dietary triggers in dogs with suspected or confirmed food allergies
• Low in fat — supports healthy weight maintenance, particularly important for less active or sensitive dogs who may be prone to weight gain
• Highly digestible — gentle on the digestive system and designed for maximum nutrient absorption in dogs with sensitive stomachs
• Hypoallergenic — free from wheat, soya, dairy, beef, chicken and other common intolerance triggers; no artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives

Suitable For

Adult dogs with food intolerances or sensitivities, particularly those who have already tried and reacted to more common proteins such as chicken, lamb, beef or fish. Also well suited as a long-term maintenance diet for dogs requiring a clean, low-fat, grain-free complete food. The single novel protein base makes it an ideal choice for elimination diet trials under veterinary guidance.

Feeding Guide

Refer to the feeding guide on pack for specific daily amounts based on your dog’s weight and activity level. Transition gradually over 7–10 days when switching foods. For elimination diet trials, feed exclusively with no other foods, treats or supplements for the full recommended duration. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes — and that’s exactly why it’s used here. Pork is one of the most novel protein sources available in commercial dog food. Most dogs have never been exposed to pork protein in their diet, meaning their immune system is very unlikely to have built up a sensitivity to it. This makes it an excellent last-resort or elimination diet protein for dogs who have reacted to chicken, lamb, beef and fish.

Is this grain free?

Yes — Burns Sensitive Pork & Potato uses potato rather than rice or brown rice as the primary carbohydrate source, making it completely grain free. This is particularly useful for dogs with grain sensitivities in addition to protein intolerances.

How does this differ from Burns Original or other Burns recipes?

Burns Original recipes (Chicken & Brown Rice, Lamb & Brown Rice etc.) use grain-based carbohydrates such as brown rice. Burns Sensitive Pork & Potato is grain free, uses an exceptionally novel protein, and is specifically formulated for dogs with more complex dietary sensitivities. It is lower in fat and positioned as a therapeutic-adjacent sensitive diet rather than a standard maintenance food.

Can I use this for an elimination diet trial?

Yes — the single novel protein (pork only) and grain-free carbohydrate (potato) make this well suited for an elimination diet trial to identify food triggers. 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 long-term feeding?

Yes — Burns Sensitive Pork & Potato is a nutritionally complete diet and can be fed long-term as a maintenance food for dogs who thrive on it, once any dietary investigation is complete and the diet is confirmed suitable by your vet.

Is this hypoallergenic?

Yes — like all Burns diets, this formula is free from wheat, soya, dairy and other common intolerance triggers, and contains no artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives. The use of pork as a single novel protein significantly reduces the risk of an adverse food reaction.

Is this a complete dog food?

Yes — Burns Adult Sensitive Pork & Potato is a complete dog food containing all the nutrients your dog needs. No additional supplementation is required.
