Harringtons Senior dog food
Harringtons Senior is the older-dog recipe within the wider Harringtons dry food range, built around chicken as the single named protein. We stock the Harringtons Senior Dog Chicken recipe as one of the everyday dry foods on our shelves, alongside the brand's adult and puppy lines.
What actually changes in a senior recipe
A senior dog food is generally adjusted for a less active, ageing body rather than reformulated from scratch. Expect a slightly lower calorie density than the adult version of the same range, since older dogs typically need less energy per day, along with a kibble that stays reasonably easy to chew for a dog whose teeth may not be what they were.
Harringtons markets its whole range, senior included, around a single named protein — chicken, in this case — which keeps the ingredient list simpler than a food built from several meat sources. That is a genuinely useful thing to know if you are watching for a reaction to a specific protein, though it is not a guarantee against every possible sensitivity.
What we stock, and who it suits
Our range includes Harringtons Senior Dog Chicken, a complete dry food for older dogs built around that single protein. We stock a selection from the wider Harringtons range rather than every recipe the brand makes, and what is shown in the grid above reflects what is currently available to order.
This tends to suit owners with an older dog already doing well on Harringtons who want to move them onto an age-appropriate recipe from the same range, rather than switching brands entirely. As with any change, introduce a new food gradually over several days, and if your dog has a specific health condition affecting what they can eat, check the recipe against your vet's advice first.

Common questions
- At what age should a dog move onto a senior food?
- There is no single fixed age — it varies by size and breed, with larger dogs typically considered senior earlier than small ones. Your vet is the best person to advise when a switch makes sense for your particular dog, based on their weight, activity level and general health.
- Is Harringtons Senior suitable for all older dogs?
- It is a straightforward single-protein dry food rather than a food designed around a specific medical condition. A dog with a diagnosed health issue affecting their diet should be fed according to your vet's advice rather than by age alone.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the whole Harringtons Senior range?
- We stock Harringtons Senior Dog Chicken as part of our selection from the wider Harringtons range, not every recipe the brand produces. What is available can change as stock does, so check the grid above for what we currently have.
- How do I switch my dog onto a senior food?
- Introduce it gradually alongside their current food over five to seven days, increasing the new food and reducing the old each day rather than swapping overnight. Watch their stools and appetite, and speak to your vet if the change does not settle.
