Burgess Pet Food, Premium and Scientifically Formulated Range Explored
Providing your pet with the correct nutrition is the most effective way to support their long-term health, happiness, and overall vitality.
Burgess is a proudly independent British family business with a rich heritage in animal nutrition spanning over three centuries.
Based in Yorkshire, the brand uses high-quality, locally sourced ingredients to create scientifically formulated foods tailored to your animals' specific needs.
Available to order online at Pets and Friends, this exceptional range provides complete, balanced, and delicious meals that ensure your pets thrive at every stage of life.
The UK's number one choice for small animals
Small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and hamsters have highly specialised digestive systems that require very specific dietary care.
Burgess Excel is widely recognised as the UK's leading small animal food brand, strongly recommended by nine out of ten exotic vets.
Their advanced recipes are specifically engineered to prevent the common health problems associated with traditional muesli mixes, such as selective feeding.
By providing all the essential nutrients within uniform, high-fibre nuggets, the brand ensures your small pets receive a completely balanced diet in every single bite.
Supporting vital small pet digestive and dental health
Rabbits and guinea pigs require an incredibly high amount of fibre in their daily diet to keep their complex digestive systems moving smoothly.
The Excel range features a unique blend of beneficial fibres that support optimal gut mobility and promote a healthy bacterial balance.
Furthermore, the abrasive texture of the nuggets provides a crucial mechanical action that naturally wears down their continuously growing teeth.
Regular feeding helps to prevent painful dental disease and overgrowth, keeping your small furry companions active, comfortable, and beautifully healthy.
Naturally nourishing food for dogs and cats
Beyond their famous small pet range, the brand offers a fantastic selection of high-quality complete meals for dogs and cats.
Burgess sensitive dog food is expertly crafted with easily digestible proteins, like premium British lamb or chicken, alongside wholesome rice.
These gentle, hypoallergenic recipes are entirely free from common allergens like wheat, maize, and dairy, making them a brilliant choice for dogs with delicate stomachs.
For feline companions, their complete cat foods are packed with essential taurine for heart health and precise mineral levels to support a healthy urinary tract.
Enriched with targeted health supplements
To provide a clinical level of preventative care, these premium recipes are fortified with targeted vitamins, minerals, and active supplements.
Many formulas include prebiotics like FOS and MOS to actively boost digestive health and strengthen your pet's natural immune defences.
They also incorporate natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin to support healthy joints, keeping older dogs agile and active into their senior years.
With added Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, these meals ensure your pet maintains healthy skin and a beautifully glossy, radiant coat.
A deep commitment to British farming and sustainability
When you choose Burgess, you are supporting a brand that is deeply passionate about environmental responsibility and ethical ingredient sourcing.
The vast majority of the grains, vegetables, and premium meats used in their foods are sourced directly from trusted local British farms.
This commitment to local agriculture keeps food miles exceptionally low, ensuring the ultimate freshness and traceabilty for your pet's peace of mind.
The brand continuously works to improve their manufacturing processes, utilising eco-friendly packaging materials to reduce their environmental impact on the planet.
