To put it simply, the thing that makes Black Hawk pet food so good is our ingredients. Every ingredient in every recipe has been carefully selected by our team of vets and pet nutritional experts for its nutritional value – every item used in our pet foods provides a benefit, whether it's energy, immunity, joint health, digestive health or brain function.

As we say, “every ingredient matters”, so everything we pack into our dog foods is there for the benefit of your dog or puppy. Here are some of the ingredients we use in our pet foods.

Fruits and Vegetables

• Beet pulp – This powerhouse vegetable is a wholesome source of fibre that natually delivers prebiotics to help support overall gut health for happier tummies and healthy stools.
• Berries – Full of vitamin C and other powerful antioxidants, our blend of cranberries and blueberries can help control free radicals and protect against cell damage. 
• Carrots – A rich source of beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body and may help vision. 
• Sea kelp – Iodine is essential for a well-functioning thyroid and this seaweed is packed full of it.
• Sweet potato – A rich, natural source of fibre which can support the passage of food through your dog’s intestine and assist the absorption of vital nutrients.

Herbs and Roots

• Rosemary – Packed full of antioxidants and flavour, rosemary is also a natural preservative used to keep your pet’s food fresher for longer and may improve cell function.
• Chicory root – A superfood when it comes to natural prebiotics. Its high inulin content helps feed beneficial bacteria to keep the gut balanced, which may help with gas and flatulence. A healthy microbiome can support dogs with food sensitivities.

Grains

• Oats – A good source of carbohydrate and dietary fibre, providing a slow-release energy source and essential nutrients to the body and digestive tract.

Protein

• Chicken – A highly digestible, delicious, lean and versatile protein packed with amino acids which are essential for building strong bones and muscles.
• Eggs – Can aid muscle growth and maintenance. Eggs are a complete source of essential amino acids, the building blocks required for body structures and functions. Eggs are an easily digestible protein boost, containing choline which supports normal liver function.
• Kangaroo – A lean meat for strong muscles. Naturally one of the leaner meats, kangaroo is nutrient rich in zinc and iron. Zinc can help with skin health, while iron is essential for muscle growth.

Oils

• Coconut Oil – For easy digestion. This fat supports healthy metabolism and provides energy.
• Fish Oil – For healthy skin, a shiny coat and joint support. Natural source of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids.

Black Hawk dog food is extremely rich in nutrients and is packed with only the best ingredients hand-selected for the benefits they’ll bring to your pet. All the nutrition they need with no unhealthy or artificial ingredients and only natural 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.
