Blackdog
Blackdog is a long-running, independently owned Australian treat maker (operating around two decades) with one of the widest natural-treat ranges on the market. The line spans oven-baked biscuits in flavours like beef, cheese, charcoal and multi-mix, plus single-ingredient air-dried meats — beef liver, kangaroo jerky, chicken breast — and long-lasting chews such as bully sticks and beef tendons. Most products are made in Australia from Australian-sourced proteins with minimal processing and no artificial colours or flavours, which is rare at this price. It is fed as a treat or training reward alongside a complete diet, not as a meal.
