I dont rate Hills at all. If i was forced to feed any i would feed Burns. Many moe people feed Burns anyway, ive heard nothing but bad things about Hills. If i were you i would go with your origional plan and go for Burns. I never take the vets advice on Hills, they're making too much money out of the stuff for me to trust them about it!

i would feed burns, mainly for the reason that they do not test on animals. Not sure on hills, but i have also heard bad things about them

We raised several dogs on Hills with no problems and all were healthy and happy.  However when we started feeding a partially raw diet we decided to research foods and chose one with no corn, no wheat, no gluten and which had some of the supplements raw feeding includes.  We ended up choosing James Wellbeloved, but Burns was right up there with it.

So of the two I would say Burns is better - but with all the negative talk about Hills I just wanted to say my dogs were happy and healthy on it for years.

what have you heard about hills any websites i could look and and show dad

is it tested on animals cos if it is then i will stop giving it to her

We have tried both on our cocker spaniels and found Burns definitely better! 

Burns is a company approved by BUAV as not having tested their products on animals-you can see the full list here.  They make mention of Hills on their website which can be seen here.  Hope that helps. :)

Hi,

I have fed one of my show dogs on Hills yes I had to admit like the results that I got,well impressed but normally feed JWB yet to find another food as good as this to producing good results on my Goldens all year round for me not even Burns comes close.
But rememn=ber what suits one dog may not suit another and everyone has their own way of feeding and their own personal choice of food :-).

Hi,

You dont have to buy Hills from a vets and you can buy it cheaper if your prepared to research and source it cheaper than places like pet shops and pet supermarkets ;-)

Hi,

Also any dry complete food will leave a dog thirsty they must have acess to water at all times when given these foods.We feed complete not just Hills  but we also add water to the feed so the dogs I dont find are any thirstier than if fed any other food.
