Time-Honored Family Tradition
Handcrafting premium pet food in small batches is a long-standing Blackwood tradition. For three generations, they've created nutritious, flavorful recipes at their family owned and operated facility in Ohio. Their commitment to tradition and quality starts with choosing the right ingredients. That's why they've spent years building lasting relationships with suppliers they trust and know on a first-name basis.
Slow Cooked for Better Nutrition
Blackwood has been perfecting their process of slow cooking for over 20 years to create an appetizing and more digestible pet food. This method leaves valuable proteins, vitamins and minerals intact, making them more bio-available. It helps maximize useable energy, which leads to increased stamina and nutrient uptake, better immune system response and—best of all—less stool.
Promotes Healthy Coats and Tummies
Blackwood recipes are both appetizing and gentle on the stomach. That's because they've included prebiotics and probiotics to ease digestion and help the body absorb nutrients. All formulas except for the 1000 Everyday Diet and 2000 Active Diet are free of fillers like corn, wheat and soy that can cause skin allergies or irritate sensitive tummies. And they're packed with omega fatty acids from natural sources for superior skin health and a lustrous coat.
Quality Guaranteed in Every Bowl
Blackwood takes care in every step of preparation. They use only the finest all-natural ingredients that contribute to your pet's healthy lifestyle, which means no artificial flavors or colors. And because they own their own facility, Blackwood can ensure the integrity of their diets. All products undergo 360-degree quality control and are tested before they're even shipped, and all dry food is made right here in the USA.
Add in a Performance Mix for Active Dogs
Blackwood's ExPro Total Diet Supplement is made with multiple protein sources that provide essential amino acids plus pre- and probiotics to aid digestion. This recipe combines three meat meals for a concentrated source of rich animal protein. ExPro is made to complement a performance or active diet with 33% protein, 23% fat and omega-3 for a lustrous coat. It can be easily added to your dog's diet for extra energy and endurance.
Trusted, All-Natural Ingredients
Blackwood recipes contain no artificial flavors or colors and are purposely formulated with natural ingredients from handpicked suppliers. Check out the health benefits of these featured ingredients from Blackwood's premium dog foods:
BEETS
Edible root vegetables that provide phytonutrients and are high in immunity-boosting vitamin C, iron for healthy blood cells and magnesium for bone health.
BROWN RICE

I love every choice of Blackwood dog food. One of my fur babies has been battling horrible stomach and GI issues all of his life until I found Blackwood! I am so thankful for hearing about them and switching to them. My bank account thanks them as well because we have not had to take him to the vet since I started feeding Blackwood!

I have a seventeen year old small breed with chronic pancreatitis, so she needs low fat food. Unfortunately a lot of low fat foods don't seem to taste very good and she really never looked forward to her food anymore, but since we've switched she really loves this.

My dog, Lilly, loves this kibble. It has no fillers and gives her great energy and no fat. Plus, she likes its flavor and always finishes her meals with gusto!

So far so good. My dog liked it immediately. I'm hoping she will lose a bit of weight. Seems to be pretty healthy ingredients.

My rottie tipped the scales and needed a diet food. This brand came highly recommended so I gave it a shot. At first she was interested because it was new. But after the first few times she wouldn't go near this unless she was starving. This seems abnormally dry for a dry dog food. Like my dog seems to choke while eating it (and again she's not a small dog whatsoever). She also has lost tons of energy since eating this brand. She has lost weight, but that's because she's eating less. I just purchased a different brand and started mixing her new food with this to ween her. She picked out the new food and left this brand in the bowl. Will definitely not be repurchasing.

My dog used to eat dry dog food all the time. When he had several teeth pulled, the vet suggested I mix in some chicken broth and let it soften up before serving it to him. Well, that worked so well, he will now not eat any dry food unless it has the broth in it. I've tried several diff brands, based on various internet lists of Top 20 Dry Dog Food Brands, hoping I'd find one that he likes by itself, with no success. So I guess I'll stick with this one as it comes highly rated. As for the chewy.com service, I rate it a 5. Ordered the food, came two days later with no shipping fees. Gotta love that!

I have an 11 year old dachshund/basset hound mix. I switched my dog to this food about 6 months ago and she loves it. The smaller size pieces seem to do very well for her sensitive stomach.

Two black lab mix dogs, 3 years and 4 years. They like it. Have to remove cats from room because they also like it

Our local pet food store gave me a sample to try and my dog truly went ga-ga over this food. He has been very finicky about dry food up to now, but apparently he finds this EXTREMELY palatable. We've all gained weight this past winter so I'm hoping this "lean diet" recipe will help him slim down a bit.

I bought this for my Aussie who had ACL surgery last year. I had to switch her food due to an allergy to tomatoes, though she's lost a lot of weight and maintained it on her old food. She loves this food and is able to maintain her current weight on Blackwood, which is absolutely necessary under the circumstances. I would definitely recommend this food.
