heroeswit Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm just wondering if any people in areas away from stockists get their local pet shop/ supply to get them in for them? What is the price comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest english.ivy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Is it ok to feed BH and BARF patties together? Yes I would think so, I and many others do feed BH and raw together. Though I don't feed BARF, just raw and mushed pumpkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgiedidge Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 is Black Hawk the same dry food as the Holistic brand offered by Next generation Pet foods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest english.ivy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Do you mean this brand and store? If so, no it isn't Black Hawk. Different ingredients. Check out post number one of this thread and you'll see who sells it and the correct website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divinemissmillie Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) :D Is it ok to feed BH and BARF patties together? Yes, arjay - I always feed BH and barf patties together. Along with an occasional egg, or a tin of sardines or some low fat cottage cheese - and any suitable leftovers from our dinners as well !).

Skruffy n Flea Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 staying on the sub-topic of mixing bh with raw/other food, is there not a concern that the mixing creates an imbalance [in that, bh is balanced nutrition in and of itself]!?!? i read too much, this is true ... We are a BH distributor around Sydney, we are located in the richmond/windsor area. Unfortunately I don't think that there is anyone closer to you. Not sure if you get down to Sydney at all, but if you do we can organise something for you. regards, Leslie 0401 745 744 [email protected] hello leslie :) i'll be looking to buy another quantity of adult bh in the near future --- do you have a website that details dog shows you're attending? tia :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanbury Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi Scruffy, Yes BlackHawk is a complete diet, so technically you shouldn't feed anything else with it. The same can also be said for all the other premium kibbles available today. People still feed meat and other extras with those as well. In the end I think it comes down to what you want to do with your animals, we stopped feeding ours any meat with their kibble almost 2 years ago now, however they do have a thick meaty bone 3 times a week too. Hope this helps, Regards Leslie staying on the sub-topic of mixing bh with raw/other food, is there not a concern that the mixing creates an imbalance [in that, bh is balanced nutrition in and of itself]!?!? i read too much, this is true ...

arjay Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 how does BH compare to VANS/Raw, anyone tried this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 how does BH compare to VANS/Raw, anyone tried this before? I fed my BC girl for the first 3 years on VAN + Raw + various suppliments. She looked good on it, but poos were always a bit sloppy. When I discovered Black Hawk, I switched her over to that & she just did so well on that, without any suppliments, so that is what she has had now for about a year. So, yes, I found VAN good, but I have found she does better on BH, plus it's more convenient & more economical. My BC puppy has known no other.

stanbury Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We give our 30kg greyhound 4 cups of puppy kibble everyday. And our stafford male who weighs about 19kg gets almost 3 cups a day. We feed our dogs blackhawk only we don't add anything extra to their meals. my 11 months been on BH for a while now, He looks alot lean than other rottys around. Not sure if i should feed him more, he gets Raw and 2-3 Cups of BH, how much is a usually standard cup? Not sure if im feeding him in the right direction.

wuffles Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 All dogs need a different amount of food, the feeding guidelines are just that - guidelines. The way I want my dogs' ribs to feel is like the back of my hand - can feel bone with only a slight covering. If they feel like my knuckles I add extra food, if they feel like my palm I cut back :laugh: (We don't feed BH anymore but when we did my 35kg dog got 1.5 cups and my 18kg dog 1 cup.)

sheena Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 my 11 months been on BH for a while now, He looks alot lean than other rottys around. Not sure if i should feed him more, he gets Raw and 2-3 Cups of BH, how much is a usually standard cup? Not sure if im feeding him in the right direction. Usually means a metric cup, like you would use for cooking. As someone else said it is only a guideline & all dogs, like people are different & it also depends on how active/not active they are. My 18 kilo BC gets one cup a day + turkey neck & my 22 kilo BC boy (10 months old) gets 1 & 1/2 cups a day for dinner, plus a turkey neck for breakfast. Plus they get training treats & if the turkey neck is not very big, then they will get sardines or mackeral or an egg or some meat with their kibble. They are very active dogs. I have also started adding 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to their kibble to counter the effects that daily swimming in the family pool has on their coats, & 1/4 teaspoon sulphur powder to help repel the ticks.
