Blackdog
Blackdog is a genuinely strong, fairly priced Australian natural-treat range: single-ingredient chews and air-dried meats sit happily next to crunchy oven-baked biscuits, so there's something for training, dental crunch and long-lasting chewing. The baked biscuits carry a longer ingredient list and added vitamins rather than being single-ingredient, and prices run a touch above supermarket value treats, but the Australian sourcing and breadth of choice earn their keep. Feed as an occasional reward — no more than about 10% of daily calories — alongside a complete, balanced diet. Not veterinary advice.
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.

Pros & cons

Alternatives to Blackdog
Premium · Excellent
Our standout treat range, and the one we'd pick first. Human-grade, genuinely single-ingredient and made entirely in Australia, with nothing added to muddy the label — the premium per gram buys real purity. Feed as treats alongside a complete diet, not as a meal. Not veterinary advice.
Premium · Strong
Huds and Toke is a charming, genuinely Australian-made gourmet treat brand that shines for birthdays, celebrations and everyday rewards, with hand-decorated cookies and cakes dogs clearly love. Most baked items are multi-ingredient (wheat flour, peanut butter, carob, yoghurt powder) rather than single-protein, so they sit a notch below human-grade single-ingredient ranges on label simplicity but offer character, fun and reliable quality. Feed these as occasional rewards alongside a complete and balanced diet, keeping treats to roughly 10% of daily calories. Not veterinary advice.
