Background: ownership, sourcing and positioning
Black Hawk and Hill's Science Diet offer two different approaches to the Australian cat food market. Black Hawk is built on a 'passionate breeder' narrative rather than clinical or ancestral framing, with an 'every ingredient matters' tagline. Hill's Science Diet traces back to Hill Rendering Works in Topeka Kansas in 1907, with the Prescription Diet line launching in 1948 and the Science Diet consumer line in 1968. Both brands lean on their heritage as a marker of trust with owners.
Black Hawk sources roughly 45 to 50 percent of ingredients within a 200 km radius of its Parkes plant.
Hill's Science Diet is made in the United States. It employs more than 150 in-house veterinarians and PhD nutritionists, and runs a veterinary-only clinical portal at myhillsvet.com.au.
