Black Hawk Small Breed Grain Free Chicken Adult is an Australian-made dry food for small-breed adult dogs. Australian chicken is the lead protein, the recipe is grain-free, and the kibble size is reduced to suit smaller mouths and jaws.

The recipe uses tapioca and sweet potato as alternative carbohydrate sources rather than grains, which can suit small dogs prone to grain sensitivity. Higher protein content supports muscle maintenance on a smaller frame, and natural fibre helps digestion. There are no wheat, corn, soy, or artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Available in a 7kg bag, which is the working size for a small dog given how slowly they go through kibble.

Small dogs are easy to overfeed, and Black Hawk's small-breed grain-free formula is built to work on the calorie-dense side without leaning on grain fillers. It's a common pick for Cavoodles, Maltese, terriers and similar — owners typically stay on it once they see how the dog handles it.
