John Burns BVMS MRCVS, owner and founder of Burns Pet Nutrition, has been recommending simple, natural, wholesome food as the key to long-lasting well-being and vitality in pets for over 40 years.
John Burns knows that good health starts on the inside. Recommending a natural diet to pet owners has been an effective way of not just maintaining good health but also in managing a wide range of pre-existing health conditions. This approach, however, isn’t inspired by John’s scientific training and experience as a veterinary surgeon, but rather a deep interest in holistic health. This came about with his post-graduate study of Traditional Oriental Medicine and a variety of complementary therapies. Of these, nutrition has been the most authentic, practical and effective way of managing the health and wellbeing of our pets.
