Faqs
Where is Black Hawk dog food made?
Black Hawk kibble is made at our new state of the art facility in Parkes, New South Wales, using fresh local ingredients, ensuring nutritional excellence and superior quality.
Our kibble is gently roasted at a lower and more even temperature, which creates higher palatability. Put simply, our kibble is even tastier.
We undertake regular audits not only of our ingredient suppliers, but of the factories which make our foods, to ensure compliance to our product specifications.
These sites adhere to good manufacturing practices, dictated by organisations such as the PFIAA (Pet Food Industry Association of Australia), and the NZPFMA (New Zealand Pet Food Manufacturer’s Association). These organisations uphold and advocate for the highest standards of pet food production and PFIAA sets an Australian Standard (AS5812), acting as the ‘public face’ of the pet food industry.
Does Black Hawk dog food contain any additives or preservatives?
Black Hawk wet and dry food contains only natural preservatives. A natural preservative is one that occurs naturally in nature, as opposed to a chemical preservative that is made synthetically such as BHT, BHA or ethoxyquin which are often found in cheaper brands.
The natural preservatives we use in our products include rosemary extract, vitamin E (tocopherol) and vitamin C.
Our story is real, and simple – every ingredient matters.
Everything we do, every product we make, is all about making sure your pet gets everything they need, and nothing they don’t.
Real meat, real veggies. Nothing but the best for our besties.
All of our Black Hawk products are proudly manufactured in rural NSW, with ingredients sourced in Australia. We are extremely proud of our heritage and long-standing commitment to local farmers and regional communities through the ingredients that we buy and the local community programs that we support.
An original recipe for success
The real food movement is all about eating food that improves our health, happiness and longevity.
The original Black Hawk recipe was developed when a passionate breeder simply applied this thinking to their dog’s diet.
They relentlessly searched for ingredients that had a nutritional benefit and removed all of the ones that didn’t.
From strength to strength
Other breeders quickly embraced the Black Hawk recipe for success. They could see shinier coats and happier, healthier dogs. The movement grew organically and soon the Black Hawk story was being passed from owner to owner.
Since joining the Masterpet family our commitment to real food is stronger
