Treat Your Best Mate Right: Introducing the Blackdog Range at The Grit

At The Grit, we know that your dog isn’t just a pet; they are a loyal companion, a hard worker, and a beloved member of the family. Whether you have a working dog out in the paddock or a family pooch resting on the back verandah, they deserve the very best nutrition. That is why we are absolutely thrilled to introduce a massive new range of products to our shelves: Blackdog dog treats.

As an Australian retailer dedicated to providing top-tier products for the rural and rugged lifestyle, we are always on the lookout for brands that align with our values. Blackdog fits the bill perfectly. Known for their commitment to quality, natural ingredients, and minimal processing, Blackdog has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s most trusted pet treat manufacturers.

In this post, we will take a deep dive into the Blackdog story and break down the specific products we now stock, helping you decide which treats are right for your four-legged mate.

The Blackdog Story: Australian Quality You Can Trust

Before we look at the tasty snacks, it is important to understand who makes them. Blackdog is an Australian-owned company that has been operating since 2000. Their philosophy is simple yet powerful: they aim to supply natural or "near-natural" treats that serve as a healthy alternative to the highly processed, nutrient-poor options that often flood the market.

Blackdog prides itself on using high-quality ingredients with minimal processing and additives. They focus on what dogs naturally crave—real meat, natural flavours, and textures that keep tails wagging. By choosing Blackdog, you are supporting a brand that prioritises your dog’s health over profit margins, ensuring that every treat serves a purpose, whether it is for training, dental health, or just a well-earned reward.

Meaty Favourites: High-Protein Rewards

If there is one thing dogs love universally, it is meat. Blackdog’s range of dried meat treats is legendary for a reason. These products are often single-ingredient or high-meat content treats that provide a massive protein boost without the nasties.

Blackdog 1kg Chicken Breast Dog Treats
Chicken breast is a staple in many dog diets, and for good reason. It is lean, high in protein, and generally well-tolerated by dogs with sensitive stomachs. Blackdog’s 1kg Chicken Breast treats are made from real chicken meat that has been dried to preserve its natural flavour and nutritional value. These are fantastic for breaking into smaller pieces for training or giving whole as a high-value reward.

Blackdog 1kg Duck Jerky Dog Treats
For something a little more indulgent, the Duck Jerky is a winner. Duck is a rich, savoury meat that dogs find irresistible. It is an excellent alternative for dogs that might have allergies to more common proteins like beef. The jerky texture also gives your dog something to chew on, which can help keep their teeth clean.

Blackdog 10 Pack Kangaroo Tail Dog Treats
This is a true Aussie classic. Kangaroo meat is incredibly lean and packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, making it one of the healthiest meats available for dogs. The Kangaroo Tails are a long-lasting chew, which is perfect for keeping your dog occupied. Chewing on these tough treats helps to scrape away plaque and tartar, promoting better dental hygiene while your dog enjoys a primal, tasty snack.

The Sweet Side: Vegetarian and Alternative Treats

Not every reward needs to be a hunk of meat. Blackdog has innovated a range of treats that cater to dogs with a sweet tooth or those needing a break from heavy proteins.

Blackdog 1kg Sweet Potato Slice Dog Treats
Vegetables can be just as rewarding as meat when prepared correctly. These Sweet Potato Slices are a fantastic natural chew. Sweet potato is rich in dietary fibre, which aids digestion, and is packed with essential vitamins like Vitamin A and C. If you have a dog that needs to watch their weight but still loves a chewy treat, these are a brilliant low-fat option.

Blackdog 1kg Carob Drops & Yoghurt Drops
We all know that chocolate is a big no-no for dogs, but that doesn't mean they have to miss out on the fun. Carob Drops are the safe, dog-friendly alternative to chocolate. They contain no theobromine or caffeine but offer a sweet, earthy flavour that dogs adore.

Similarly, the Yoghurt Drops are made with real yoghurt powder. These are excellent for training because they are small, easy to handle, and melt in the mouth. Plus, the calcium in the yoghurt supports strong bones. Use these sparingly as high-value rewards during obedience training; your dog will work hard to get one!

Biscuits with Benefits: Functional Snacking

Blackdog isn't just about flavour; they are about function. We stock a specific range of biscuits designed to address common canine health concerns while remaining delicious.

Blackdog 5kg Charcoal Dog Biscuits
Does your dog have a bit of a gas problem? We have all been there. Blackdog Charcoal Biscuits are oven-baked and contain real activated charcoal. Charcoal is well-known for its ability to absorb toxins and gas in the stomach, helping to settle digestion and—crucially—reduce flatulence. They also help to freshen your dog's breath. If your dog has a sensitive tummy, these are a pantry essential.

Blackdog 500g Cannabics Dog Biscuits
This is one of the most innovative products in the range. "Cannabics" are biscuits containing hemp seed oil and protein. Before you ask—no, they won't get your dog "high". They contain no THC. Instead, they are packed with Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, magnesium, zinc, and iron. These nutrients support healthy skin, a shiny coat, and overall joint health. Hemp is considered a superfood for dogs, and these biscuits are an easy way to get those nutrients into their diet.

Blackdog 1kg Mini Beef Dog Biscuits
Sometimes you just need a reliable, crunchy biscuit for a quick snack. The Mini Beef biscuits are bite-sized, making them perfect for smaller breeds or for use as a frequent reward without overfeeding. They are oven-baked to be hard and crunchy, which provides great mechanical cleaning action for teeth.

Bulk Buys for Big Appetites

At The Grit, we know our customers often have working dogs or multi-dog households. Buying small packets just doesn't cut it. That is why we stock a huge range of Blackdog treats in 5kg and 10kg bulk boxes.

Blackdog 5kg Biscuit Varieties
We stock several flavours in the 5kg range to keep things interesting:

• Cheese Dog Biscuits (DTB0790): A savoury delight that picky eaters often prefer.
• Chicken Dog Biscuits (DTB0795): A classic flavour profile that rarely fails.
• Double Cheese and Bacon (DTB0800): The ultimate indulgence biscuit—combining two of the most potent flavours in the canine world.
• Multi Mix Dog Biscuits (DTB0815): Can’t decide? The Multi Mix offers a variety of shapes and flavours in one box, preventing "flavour fatigue."

Blackdog 10kg Low Fat Bigga Dog Biscuit
These are designed for the big units. If you have Greyhounds, large working breeds, or a dog that is prone to weight gain, the "Bigga" biscuit is for you. They are formulated to be low in fat (around 3%) while still providing a satisfying crunch. They are large enough to prevent gulping, encouraging your dog to chew properly.

Blackdog 10kg Premium 4 x 2 Dog Biscuits
The "4x2" refers to the classic hard tack biscuit shape. These are a premium, oven-baked biscuit that includes added vitamins, minerals, and Omega-3. They are exceptionally hard, which makes them the gold standard for dental health. A dog has to really work their jaw to break these down, which strengthens the gums and cleans the teeth effectively.

How to Incorporate Blackdog Treats into Your Routine

With such a wide range available, you might be wondering how to best use these products. Here is a quick guide:

1. Training: Use the Carob Drops, Yoghurt Drops, or break up the Chicken Breast into tiny pieces. You want something small that can be eaten quickly so you can get back to the lesson.
2. Dental Health: The Kangaroo Tails and Premium 4x2 Biscuits are your go-to options. Give these when you need your dog to settle down for 30 minutes. The chewing action is a natural toothbrush.
3. Digestive Support: If your dog has had an upset tummy or is particularly "gassy" after dinner, offer a Charcoal Biscuit as a dessert.
4. General Rewards: The Mini Beef Biscuits or Multi Mix are perfect for those "just because" moments when you want to show your mate some love.
