Blackdog Charcoal Dog Biscuits

Description

Blackdog Activated Charcoal Biscuits

These are not simply black-coloured dog biscuits. Blackdog Charcoal Biscuits contain activated charcoal as part of their recipe, giving them a distinctly different purpose and character from ordinary flavoured biscuits. Blackdog makes the biscuits in Victoria, Australia.

Activated charcoal is a familiar substance in human medicine and has also been used in veterinary medicine in specific circumstances. It can bind certain substances in the gastrointestinal tract, which is why activated charcoal may be used by veterinarians following some toxin exposures.

However, this is important: these biscuits should not be regarded as a treatment for poisoning or as a substitute for contacting a veterinarian. If you believe your dog has eaten something toxic, seek veterinary advice immediately rather than trying to treat the situation with a biscuit.

A Functional Alternative to Ordinary Biscuits

Charcoal Biscuits are one of the few products in the Blackdog biscuit range with a distinctive functional ingredient. They provide a crunchy baked treat while incorporating activated charcoal into the recipe.

They are therefore quite different in purpose from the standard beef, cheese, chicken or peanut butter biscuits. But if you are interested in seeing ALL of the dog biscuit options, here you go.
