Rank #9 in Best Senior Dog Food 2026: 10 Bags Ranked by Price per Kilo
Burns Weight Control Chicken & Oats, 6kg
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Burns Weight Control Chicken and Oats 6 kg bag sits at number 9 in this guide. It is a dry, hypoallergenic complete food sold for adult and senior dogs, in a single 6 kg bag at £24.79, rated 4.6 out of 5 from 1,506 ratings.
The number the listing does not print is the one that decides this list: £24.79 for 6 kg works out at £4.13 a kilo. That is more than three times the £1.33/kg of the cheapest 15 kg bag here — which costs £19.99, or £4.80 less than this single 6 kg bag. It is also above the £3.71/kg Arden Grange bag, which carries the guide's largest review base at 2,313 ratings against Burns's 1,506, and it is under half the £8.88/kg of the 2.5 kg bag further up. The word Senior is doing the same double duty as elsewhere in this line-up: the title says 'Adult and Senior', while the listing's own Age Range Description field says Adult. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of our own.
