Our Recommendation
Blackwood is a reasonably priced dog food for adult dogs that need to watch their weight or less active senior dogs.
- No corn, wheat, or soy.
- Slow cooked for maximum nutrient retention.
- Made in the USA.
- Premium chicken is the first ingredient.
- Real fruits and vegetables provide a balanced diet and rich flavor for even the pickiest eaters.
- Probiotics for healthy digestion.
- Blend of grains helps with digestion and provides the carbs your dog craves.
- Glucosamine added for hip and joint health.
Blackwood is a good choice for your senior dog or less active adult dog. Maintaining a healthy weight can be very hard for some dogs but a specially formulated dog food can be the answer to the problem. I like that Blackwood contains a big variety of ingredients so I know my dog has a balanced diet when eating this brand.
I give Blackwood 4 Paws Up Out of 5. It contains a lot of different grains and the cost is as high as some grain-free dog foods.

Feeding and Transition Instructions:
This food is only suitable for adult dogs and not recommended for pregnant or nursing females. To transition your dog to Blackwood, gradually replace their regular food with Blackwood over the course of 5-10 days depending on your dog’s level of digestive sensitivity.
The Bottom Line
Blackwood is suitable for adult dogs that need to watch their weight or an older dog that is less active but needs a good food that provides joint and hip support. The easy to digest formula is suitable for any dog with a sensitive stomach or digestive issues. The addition of probiotics means you don’t have to add an additional supplement for digestion in many cases.
Blackwood is available in various package sizes so you can try it out with your dog without investing in the largest bag size. This is helpful if you have a small or medium sized dog and are not sure what food you want to use as your regular kibble.
