Guide Dogs Australia has announced Black Hawk as its new dog food partner, releasing a dog care guide to celebrate.
For the first time, Guide Dogs Australia will reveal trade secret tips for canine care and training combined with first-class knowledge from leading nutritionists and veterinarians at Black Hawk to launch the ultimate dog Care Guide.
Julie Dillon, CEO of Black Hawk, said Guide Dogs Australia has been supporting Australians with low vision since 1957 and she is honoured that Black Hawk now has the opportunity to partner and work with one of Australia’s most iconic and trusted charities.
“The amazing work of Guide Dogs Australia enables thousands of adults and children living with low vision to live fulfilling lives with confidence, companionship and greater independence.
“Whether it be a Companion, Therapy, Facility, Autism Assistance or Guide Dog, we are delighted that all the very best ingredients of our Black Hawk food will help in bringing out the very best of these amazing Dogs. The Ultimate Care Guide is a great articulation of our shared care for our dogs and the different roles that they play in our lives.”
Focusing specifically on the essentials of dog training and nutrition, the Guide Dogs and Black Hawk Care Guide keeps consistency at the core to ensure pooch and parent are set up for success.
Jennifer Gibb, Executive Director at Guide Dogs Australia, said that by partnering with Black Hawk, they know they are providing the dogs with all of the beneficial proteins, vitamins, minerals and nutrients necessary for them to be alert and at the top of their game while supporting the low vision and blind community.
“It’s no secret that what you feed your dog is vital to their cognitive development, performance and overall health – so we’re very particular about what we feed our future Guide Dogs.”
Speaking on the Care Guide, Gibb said they wanted to help simplify caring for dogs but also share their best-in-practice tips, which they use to train some of the most highly skilled dogs in the world.
“We know a thing or two about training dogs. We also know that looking after a dog takes care and dedication, especially if you are new to the role. There is such an overload of information out there, which at times can be so contradictory.”
