Black Hawk – Puppy – Large Breed – Chicken & Rice
Blackhawk Large Breed Puppy – Chicken & Rice is designed to give your growing large breed puppy the best possible start in life. Created by pet nutritionists and veterinarians, this complete and balanced formula supports healthy growth, strong bones, and lasting vitality.
Why This Recipe Works for Large Breed Puppies
Large breed puppies grow quickly and need the right nutrients to develop properly. Too much or too little of certain ingredients can affect bone health, muscle strength, and overall wellbeing. This recipe has the perfect balance of protein, healthy fats, and slow-release carbohydrates to match your puppy’s growth rate.
Premium Australian Chicken for Muscle Development
We use Australian chicken as the first ingredient. Chicken is a lean, highly digestible source of protein that provides essential amino acids for strong muscles and a healthy immune system. Protein is vital during your puppy’s rapid growth phase, helping them develop the muscle mass they need for an active life.
Supports Joint and Bone Health
Large breed puppies put extra stress on their joints as they grow. That’s why we include green-lipped mussel, a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and chondroitin. These compounds help maintain healthy joints, cartilage, and connective tissue. Balanced calcium and phosphorus levels also support strong bones without causing excessive growth spurts that can lead to skeletal issues.
Gentle on the Stomach
This recipe is easy on your puppy’s digestive system. We use Australian-sourced rice and oats for gentle, slow-release energy. These grains are low in allergens, easy to digest, and help keep your puppy active throughout the day. Sweet potato adds dietary fibre to support healthy bowel movements and improve nutrient absorption.
Boosts Immunity and Brain Development
A growing puppy needs more than just protein and carbohydrates. This formula includes essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from fruits and vegetables to help strengthen the immune system. Omega fatty acids from fish oil support healthy skin, a shiny coat, and brain development, giving your puppy the best chance to learn and adapt.
100% Australian Made
Black Hawk proudly produces this food in Australia using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. Supporting Australian farmers means fresher ingredients, better quality control, and stronger connections with local communities.
