Black Hawk Working Dog Lamb & Beef is our high-endurance formula. High in protein and fat, with 32% real lamb and beef proteins and 22% high quality fats for sustained energy and activity, strong lean muscles as well as healthy joints and coat.
Containing lamb and beef, the recipe is rich in zinc and vitamin B12 which aids metabolism and helps boost vitality. Formulated specifically with a balanced carbohydrate blend including rice and oats, Black Hawk Working Dog helps provide the energy needed for those sudden and responsive bursts of speed, throughout the day.
Why choose Black Hawk Working Dog?
You won’t find wheat or corn, in any of our recipes. Instead, our Black Hawk Working Dog range uses wholesome, highly digestible oats and rice as carbohydrate sources to deliver energy, fibre and other beneficial nutrients.
Manufactured in Australia, we only use quality Australian sourced meats, vegetables and fruits, because nothing but the best is good enough for your best friend. 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 we support. With zero grains, we add ingredients that matter: herbs, vitamins and minerals, which ensure our food tastes great and provides complete nutrition for on-going health and vitality.
At Black Hawk every ingredient is about naturally nourishing your pet from the inside out.
Every ingredient has a nutritional purpose, and is all about making sure your pet gets everything they need, and nothing they don’t. Real meat, real veggies. You’ll never find artificial preservatives or flavours in Black Hawk.

Frequently asked questions
Will my pet get an upset stomach if I change their food?
No matter the product, when feeding your dog or cat a new food it is important that you transition them gradually in order to ensure that they don’t get an upset stomach.
We recommend that over a 5-7 day period, you increase the increments of the new food 25% at a time. So 25%, 50%, 75% and then eventually after 5-7 days, 100% of the new dog food.
What are the sources of chondroitin & glucosamine, and how are they added to the product?
Chondroitin & glucosamine are found naturally in the ingredients used in Black Hawk and are also added to the Black Hawk Original and Grain Free Dog recipes.
The meat, such as chicken meal or lamb meal is a source of chondroitin. The added chondroitin is derived from beef cartilage and the glucosamine comes from shell fish.
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.
