Black Hawk Original Mature Chicken & Rice is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.
Feeding amounts may vary by breed, activity level, temperament and climate. Mature dogs over 7 years ted to slow down a little while benefiting from protein which supports their body condition. With even older dogs over 12yrs, body maintenance becomes a priority so feeding amounts should be adapted once more.
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.

We have been feeding our Beagle Black Hawk since we brought him home as a puppy. He is now almost 10 and has been on Black Hawk chicken and rice for tithe past 12 months. He loves his food and we've never had tummy or skin issues.
"Helped my older dog get her condition back"
Posted byToSoon16th Jul 2025Originally posted on Black HawkI feel this has helped my older girl a great deal. We switched her from the regular adult Blackhawk and she has got back her condition and is back up to a good weight.
Thank you #BlackHawkPetCare for our senior rescue dog Gizmo's Mature Chicken and Rice and also his Chicken Jerky Straps treats. Can see the love in his eyes. His do dos are much better too. Kitty also wants some!
"Worried for no reason.Change went well & delighted"
Posted bySquiggleson19th Nov 2024Originally posted on Black HawkChanged food with no fuss or problems and dog/owners very happy. Funny how dog owners checking out stools can make owners have conversations in dog park.
My 10 year old Chihuahua Silky Terrier loved the food. She usually has a sensitive stomach but the kibble was good on her stomach. Also her poo is healthy when she eats this. The size of the kibble is good for small dogs
