Burns Alert Lamb & Brown Rice is the lamb variant of the Burns Working Alert range, formulated for assistance dogs — including guide dogs, hearing dogs, medical alert dogs and other assistance animals — that require sustained calmness, focus and attentiveness as part of their working role. Using lamb as a novel protein source, this formula is particularly valuable for assistance dogs who have developed sensitivities to more common proteins such as chicken, while retaining the full cognitive-support ingredient profile of the Burns Alert range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from Burns Alert Chicken & Brown Rice?

Both formulas share the same Working Alert positioning and cognitive-support ingredients (salmon oil, green tea extract, controlled protein). The key difference is the protein source: this formula uses lamb instead of chicken, making it ideal for assistance dogs who have developed a sensitivity or intolerance to chicken protein. If your assistance dog is experiencing skin or digestive issues on the chicken formula, switching to the lamb variant is a sensible first step under veterinary guidance.

Why is lamb a good choice for sensitive assistance dogs?

Lamb is a novel protein — less commonly used in mainstream dog foods than chicken or beef — making it less likely to trigger an adverse immune reaction in dogs with food sensitivities. Using a single novel protein source also makes it easier to identify and manage dietary triggers if your dog has known or suspected food intolerances.

Why is this VAT free?

In the UK, food specifically formulated for assistance dogs is zero-rated for VAT. Burns Alert is formulated specifically for assistance dogs and qualifies for this exemption — representing a genuine cost saving for assistance dog owners and organisations.

Is this suitable for non-working dogs?

Yes — Burns Alert Lamb is suitable for adult and senior dogs of all breeds. Its controlled protein, hypoallergenic formula and clean ingredient list make it a good choice for any dog requiring a low-protein, novel-protein diet, even without a working role.

Is this hypoallergenic?

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

Is this a complete dog food?

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