Frequently Asked Questions

All FAQs

What makes your small breed recipes different?

We make small tweaks in ingredients and kibble shape/design in our small breed specific recipes to make them more suited to small dogs.

While the Black Hawk Small Breed recipes can be fed to any dog, the higher energy level of this diet, with calories delivered by chicken fat, digest and meal, mean it’s most suited to the small breed dog.

The feeding guide for the Small Breed product is bespoke to the needs of small breed dogs, once again, reflecting that they need different calories per kilogram of adult weight than larger breed dogs. Feeding guides have now been split to include ‘less active’ and ‘active’ dogs.

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.

When should I transition my puppy from puppy food to adult dog food?

We recommend transitioning your puppy from puppy to adult dog food between 10 and 18 months of age. Different sized breeds of dogs grow at a different rates, and generally smaller dog breeds are transitioned at an earlier age than large breeds. 

For smaller breeds (under 15kg), transition at around 8-10 months of age.

For medium sized breeds between 15-25kg in weight, transition at around 12-15 months of age.

For large breeds above 25kg, we recommend transitioning at around 18-24 months of age.
