Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I feed my cat?

You should feed your cat according to the feeding guidelines on the pack. The feeding guide will give you a quantity based on your cat's weight, but if you feel like your cat is overweight or underweight - we recommend feeding according to the weight they were when they were healthiest.

Who formulates the Black Hawk range of pet foods?

We have an in-house formulation team with a collective 59 years of applied experience who are qualified in veterinary and nutritional science, including degrees in Animal Nutrition from the School of Environmental and Rural Science at the University of New England.

We also employ 3 vets in our Research & Development team, who have worked in clinical practice and have extensive experience in the commercial pet food industry. They work with an external network of veterinarians, clinical specialists, nutritional scientists and researchers.

Being an Australian-formulated and produced product, our team knows our recipes inside-out, and we’re close to the manufacturing process

Where can I find ingredients and nutritional information for your food?

All Black Hawk packaging have the ingredients listed, as well as the nutritional information such as protein, fat etc.

You can also see this information on the product page for each of our products on this website.

 

How do I transition my cat to a new food?

No matter the product, when feeding your cat a new food it is important that you transition them gradually in order to ensure that they don’t get an upset stomach. 

We recommend that over a 5-7 day period, you increase the increments of the new food 25% at a time. So 25%, 50%, 75% and then eventually after 5-7 days, 100% of the new cat food.
