Background: ownership, sourcing and positioning

Black Hawk and Pikko offer two different approaches to the Australian cat food market. Black Hawk sources roughly 45 to 50 percent of ingredients within a 200 km radius of its Parkes plant. Pikko uses 100 percent meat recipes with named cuts and organs and a premix built on vitamin K2 rather than menadione. The two brands differ in several ways beyond the one point highlighted here.

Black Hawk is made in Parkes, NSW. It is built on a 'passionate breeder' narrative rather than clinical or ancestral framing, with an 'every ingredient matters' tagline.

Pikko is made in Perth, WA, gently cooked in small batches and frozen into daily-portion pouches, across four recipes. It is an independent Perth brand making small-batch gently cooked meals delivered frozen by subscription within Western Australia.
