Product information
Description
Black Hawk Healthy Benefits Sensitive Skin & Gut offers a balanced diet and has been specifically developed by our animal nutritionists and vets to aid nutrient absorption, support bowel function, and assist with skin and coat health in adult dogs. Highly digestible, it is fortified with probiotics and prebiotics for optimal gut flora. It also contains fish oil, a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin, shiny coat, and joint support.
A complete and balanced formula, specially designed to help normalise gut function and passage of food, stool quality, and nutrient absorption. It is a great option for dogs who tend to scavenge, eat indiscriminately, or suffer from diarrhoea.
With a unique blend of grain-free carbohydrates and fibres, your furry friend will enjoy optimal support for their sensitive gut. Highly digestible protein sources, chelated minerals, and supportive vitamins also provide the perfect combination for breeds with high skin and coat needs, recovering from adverse skin reactions, or living in harsh environments.
Did you know that your dog's skin and gut have a lot in common?
They both have important jobs in maintaining your dog’s overall health. Both the skin and gut act as a physical barrier between the internal environment of the body and the external world, preventing harmful microorganisms and other foreign substances to enter. Our Healthy Benefits Sensitive Skin & Gut diet has special ingredients that help your dog's gut work better and support your dog's skin and coat, so they can look and feel their best.
We add prebiotics and probiotics to our Healthy Benefits Sensitive Skin & Gut to help maintain the balance of healthy bacteria in the gut. Prebiotics are special fibres that the good bacteria in your dog’s gut can use to make short-chain fatty acids. These short-chain fatty acids are really important as they are a major source of food for the cells of the large intestine. Probiotics are live bacterial supplements that can also keep your dog’s gut healthy by supporting the gut barrier function and promoting a healthy digestive system. A happy and healthy community of microbes helps to inhibit the growth of bad bacteria and minimise smelly gas.
Our Healthy Benefits Sensitive Skin & Gut dog food contains a special ingredient called algae beta-glucans. These are sugar molecules from certain types of aquatic algae that are easily absorbed by your dog's body. They help strengthen your dog's gut by promoting the growth of good bacteria and supporting the first line of defence in their gut. This ingredient has also been shown to help maintain healthy faecal scores. Another key ingredient is hydrolysed chicken which is chicken protein that has been broken down into smaller parts (also called peptides). This makes it easier for your dog to digest and absorb the amino acids it contains, which are important for building new skin and gut cells.

Important feeding information
Gradual food transitions and frequent small meals help reduce gut workload, plus their skin will respond best to prolonged feeding of beneficial nutrients (for 2-3 months). Seek vet advice should your dog have signs of ill health.
Less active = less than 1 hour/day of low impact activity eg. lead walking.
Active = 1-3 hours/day of low impact activity or up to 1 hour/day of high impact activity eg. off-lead running or agility training.
1 metric cup (250ml) = approximately 125g.
Make sure fresh water in a clean bowl is available at all times.
When changing your dog’s food, we suggest doing so gradually over one week to ease digestion. Feed 25% Black Hawk food on days 1–2, 50% on days 3–4, 75% on days 5–6 and 100% on day 7, mixed with the remaining proportion of existing food.
Mixed feeding: for each 85g Healthy Benefits Sensitive Skin & Gut pouch, reduce kibble by 24g.
Approximate kibble size: 13 x 6mm.
Mix up mealtime
Mix Black Hawk Original Adult wet and dry food for more variety and hydration. Each 85g pouch replaces 25g of kibble, and each 140g pouch replaces 42g. Addiction wet food and Raw Alternative meals make tasty toppers too.
