Ideal feeding quantities may vary by breed, age, activity level, body condition and neutered status, so the following information is a guide only. Adjust to suit your cat's needs.
Make sure fresh water in a clean bowl is available at all times.
LESS ACTIVE OR INDOOR CATS: Cats who have been neutered or spend most of their time indoors require less food to maintain a healthy weight.
For maximimum freshness, close packaging tightly between feeds, or store product in an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

I have been buying this product for over a year and our cats still go crazy for the taste. Added bonus they have not had a hairball since I started feeding it to them.
Hands down recommend this for floofy cats! Its a regular in my Maine coon rotation and we definitely notice the difference when we run out! Our cats love the flavour too
Stuff is great. My cat absolutely loves eating it so I for the first time have to limit her dry food. Makes me happy she loves it though
I recently converted my 1yr old rescue boy from black hawk kitten biscuits to the adult hairball biscuits. He loved the kitten ones but it was time to change him over. I chose hairball as he has a medium coat and heard hairballs can be an issue. My picky boy loves the flavour and will consistently eat them which is a win from me. Great features, great ingredients, Aussie made and my cat loves them.
I transitioned my ragdoll x cat into Blackhawk from a supermarket brand not long after I adopted her (December 24). She is a very picky eater and wasn’t eating much at the rescue when I adopted her. I tried her on a sample of Blackhawk before transitioning and found not only was she more interested in food, she was (and still is) eating more and putting on weight.
