Description

Did you know that your dog’s nutritional needs can change and develop as they grow? That’s why Black Hawk created this wholesome and nutritious real food, to meet the specific needs of mature dogs, from 7 years old. Offering everything your dog needs for a complete and balanced diet, this great-tasting kibble includes 25% natural protein from quality meat, vegetables and grains, as well as 14% fat from healthy, natural sources, including emu oil.

 

This product also has the goodness of real Australian chicken – a highly digestible, lean and versatile protein packed with the amino acids essential for building strong bones and muscles. Rice has also been added as an excellent source of carbohydrates, providing all-important energy for your dog’s body and brain.

 

Created with expertise from animal nutritionists and vets, this unique recipe includes a range of other important ingredients to support your dog’s healthy ageing. Black Hawk Original Mature contains chicory root, a natural prebiotic for intestinal health; blueberries and cranberries, which may help immunity and natural defences; and green-lipped mussels which may support healthy joints. Sweet potato is also included as a rich, natural source of fibre that can support your dog’s digestive health and assist with the absorption of vital nutrients.

Even Older = over 12 years, body maintenance becomes a priority so feeding amounts should be adapted once more.
