Black Hawk Dog Food Review

Black Hawk was a great success in Australia as a pet food company that offers a higher standard than most commercial brands. Although they are now owned by Masterpet (EBOS Group), the product is still made in Australia.

Black Hawk’s dog food is in a very strong position on the market. It is affordable compared to other highly-rated dog food, but it has far more ingredients than the crap you can find in pet shops and supermarkets. It is a meat-focused food, with grain inclusions that are far better than those in lower-quality brands. These are bad for your dog’s health. Being a bit Australian is a plus for those who want to only buy Australian products.

Let’s look at the Lamb & Rice formula in this review, as it has the highest protein and fat (lower carbs).

Lamb tops the list. It’s also ” lamb meal“, which is what I would expect from decent food. To give your dog variety, you can add Fish Meal and Chicken Meal. It would be nice to have a clearer fish ingredient. However, we can only hope that it is high in omega fats and other oils common to fish ingredients. Some premium fish-based foods also list the type of fish they are made from, like salmon.

Rice can be used in pet food as a cheap, but easy to digest ingredient. Brown rice, which this food used to have, would be a healthier choice. Oats are also found in this food. They are a great choice for grain because they provide fibre and slow-burning fuel.

Chicken fat provides both a source for omega-6 and energy. There are many other nice additions to the rest of the food, including glucosamine and chondroitin. These ingredients are good for your joints and health, as well as additives for calcium, vitamins and minerals.

It’s not a bad food, as the ingredients are well-chosen. We have noticed some customer feedback that Black Hawk dog food causes digestive problems in dogs. This information should be taken into consideration when you feed this food to your dog.

Black Hawk Dog Food Review

For many dogs, it can be costly to feed them. The real cost is from the poor quality food that can lead to high vet bills and heartbreak. Black Hawk dog food is affordable and can be supplemented with fresh meats, animal offal, and bone-specific foods to improve overall health. Although Black Hawk dog food isn’t the most popular, it’s better than others.
