Harringtons Dog Food Review & Ratings

Harringtons is one of the biggest names on the UK shelf, and the honest answer to "is it any good?" is: which one? Across the 28 foods we have rated, its scores run from 44 to 86 out of 100 - a spread of 42 points. That is not a brand with a quality level. That is a brand with a good end and a cheap end, and the bag you happen to pick decides which one you get.

The good end is genuinely good. Its best-scoring food, Harringtons Grain Free Wet Puppy Trays, earns 86/100 - the sort of number premium brands charge premium money for. The Just 6 line does what its name promises: a short, readable recipe built on one named protein, which is exactly what our score rewards.

The other end is ordinary. The cheaper dry lines lean on the things we mark down - broader ingredient categories, less meat, and less clarity about what is actually in the bag. Nothing about them is alarming. They are legal, widely fed, and no dog is being harmed. They are simply not the food the brand's reputation was built on.

That average of 67/100 (Good) puts Harringtons 195 of 304 ranked brands - but the average is the least useful number on this page. No dog eats an average. Judge the product, not the logo: every food below shows its own score and the exact points it gained and lost.

Where Harringtons genuinely wins is availability and price. It is in most supermarkets, it is cheap to run - the cheapest food here works out at about £0.38 a day - and a well-chosen Harringtons food beats an expensive food with a vague label. Which is a sentence a lot of premium marketing would rather you did not read.
