It is designed to meet the elevated energy and nutritional demands of working and active dogs, whereas Burns Original is a maintenance diet suitable for less active adult dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is Omega 3 important for working dogs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking dogs need to focus, process information and respond quickly. Omega 3 fatty acids — particularly DHA and EPA sourced here from fish meal and whole linseed — support brain function, cognitive performance and joint health. This makes them especially valuable for dogs who work or compete regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this suitable for gun dogs and spaniels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — Burns Active Working is well suited to gun dogs, spaniels, working collies and other high-energy working breeds. If your dog has specific sensitivities or health conditions, always consult your vet before changing diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this hypoallergenic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — like all Burns diets, this formula is free from wheat, soya, beef and dairy — the most common food intolerance triggers — and contains no artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives. It is suitable for sensitive working dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I feed this year-round or only during working season?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany working dogs are fed a higher-calorie diet year-round if they maintain a high activity level. However, during rest periods (e.g. off-season), you may wish to transition to a lower-calorie maintenance diet to avoid weight gain. Consult your vet for guidance on seasonal feeding adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this a complete dog food?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — Burns Active Working Chicken \u0026amp; Rice is a complete dog food containing all the nutrients your dog needs in the correct proportions.
