Transitioning to Black Hawk: When changing foods, it is important to do so gradually so your pet gets used to new flavours and textures with minimal risk of digestive upset. We suggest a slow transition over one week, for example: Days 1-2 add 25% new food mixed into existing diet, Days 3-4: 50%, Days 5-6: 75%, Day 7: 100%. Slow down the mixing rate should your pet exhibit any gastrointestinal distress or avoidance to ensure the transition to their new diet is smooth.

My dog loved it. I will definitely buy more. Hopefully with regular use it will help with her skin issues.
"Fussy Eater LOVED Sensitive Gut Product!"
Posted byArlo23!on2nd Apr 2026Originally posted on Black HawkMy very fussy dog LOVED IT! He was jumping around in circles just from opening the packet (the smells) on the bench. Then he almost inhaled it when placed in front of him. He is so sensitive to foods that I cook all of his meals (except for bones & Black Hawk sensitive gut biscuits that he gets a scoop of everyday. As he had no adverse reactions, and he enjoyed it, this now means I can always keep a handful on hand for those nights I’m just too tired to cook his dinner or it’s too late. Thank you! ??
Very happy with the samples I received, first time my dog has had something new with throwing up. Will definitely be buying more.
I tried this with my most fussiest fur baby who turns his nose up to most things but he completely cleaned the bowl and was barking for more.. I highly recommend this product try it and you will be totally blown away on how yummy the fur babies think this product is and it didn't upset is tummy
"Healthy benefits food sensitivite skin and gut"
Posted byBozon18th Feb 2026Originally posted on Black HawkThanks for me winning but very disappointed on the sizing, I’m not sure of the price but this could be a very expensive choice of feeding my 25 t kg border collie. Boz seemed to enjoy the taste I gave it to him on the side with his dry food. These products are excellent for us but getting very pricey
