My vet recommended Burns for Phoebe.

Does anyone feed this to their puppy or did feed it?

She is constantly hungry , even grabbed a biscuit out of Lottie's mouth this morning.

My dog has had Burns dog food for about 6 years. It was recommended to me by a vet - she said that the more colourful foods like Bakers have a lot of artificial colourants which can cause hyperactivity in dogs (as well as children). Emily has done very well on Burns though she didn't have it as a puppy. She's on the weight control version now. She's an old lady of 10 now so she has a tendency to put on weight.

Fed my dogs Burns for years. I buy the chicken and brown rice and I mix it with tinned wet food and vegetables. I don't think your puppy is hungry,probably just greedy ( like all puppies ?)

Thank you both, may I ask if you mixed the Burns when your dog was a puppy ? It seems such a boring feed

Dogs don't know it's boring though.
We feed our dog a dry complete food but it's not burns .
If (for your sake) you want to ring the changes then give it a different topping but not while it's a puppy. Or you can soften it a little with a gravy but not a salty gravy or even water just to soften it .
If she is constantly hungry top her up with raw veg . Give her a carrot stick or chunk of cabbage stalk to chomp on .
