"Dog seems to like it but I feel the Lamb one is better"
Posted byGrant Erskineon5th Apr 2025switched over to this flavour just to give the dog a change, But i feel the Lamb one is the better one. will switch back to the lamb one before moving her to Adult food. dog has good appetite. shiney healthy coat. regular firm poos. happy as with black hawk dry food.
"Not great"
Posted byMaria Maxwellon30th Sep 2024Recommended by breeder but puppy didn’t like it and her poops became softer over the course of a day , each day
"Not interested"
Posted byIngrid Josephon3rd Nov 2023Puppy stopped eating this feed quite soon after buying it, will sit in her bowl all day and will only occasionally pick at.
"Switched from Lamb"
Posted byChe Lahmerton11th Sep 2023Switched from the lamb puppy as that was causing massive stomach issues. We now have solid poo and way less farts and stomach noises. However, we still have farts and they smell so bad and linger. Something just isn't right with Blackhawk puppy. Trying another brand.
"10kg Blackhawk Puppy Formula"
Posted byIain Milneon13th Nov 2022Bill loves this. Being a better quality he shits and farts less. With auto delivery it really works out quite cheap compared to the supermarket crap. Nothing but the best for Bill. Recommend this product and auto delivery. Cheers Iain & Bill
