Harringtons Puppy Food

Puppy food should be the easy part of bringing a puppy home. Ours is made with freshly prepared meat or fish as the first ingredient, plus the calcium, protein and DHA growing pups need to develop well. It is suitable from eight weeks, and every recipe is complete, balanced and made in our own Yorkshire factory. Puppies grow fast and eat little and often, so we make puppy food in a few formats. Our dry puppy food comes in a small kibble that is easier for little mouths to pick up and chew, and it holds its shape if you want to soften it with a splash of warm water in the early weeks. Wet puppy food in trays is often more tempting for a fussy eater and brings extra moisture. We also make grain free puppy recipes for pups with sensitivities, and a single protein chicken option for simpler meals. On pack sizes, dry puppy food comes in a small bag for trying a recipe and a large bag for everyday feeding, and wet trays come in smaller and larger multipacks. A growing puppy gets through food quickly, so the bigger bag usually works out as fewer trips without the food sitting around too long. Whatever you choose, you will find no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, no wheat, soya or dairy, and recipes our nutritionists have helped shape.

FAQ

What age is Harringtons Puppy Dog Food suitable for?

From eight weeks old up until around 12 months. Larger breeds often benefit from staying on puppy food a little longer, sometimes up to 18 months, as their bones and joints develop more slowly. A quick chat with your vet can help put your mind at ease if you're not sure when to move your pup onto adult food.

What's the difference between dry and wet puppy food?

Dry puppy food is energy dense, easy to store and simple to portion accurately by weight. Wet puppy food in trays has more moisture, tends to smell and taste more strongly, and can help a pup who is not much of a drinker. Many owners use both at different meals, which keeps mealtimes interesting.

How often should I feed my puppy?

As a rough guide, puppies aged eight to 12 weeks do best on four small meals a day, then three meals from around 12 weeks to six months, then two from six months onwards. Their stomachs are small and they burn energy quickly, so smaller and more often works better than one or two big meals. Amounts depend on breed and activity, and our guide to how much to feed a puppy has more.

Is Harringtons Puppy Food suitable for sensitive stomachs?

Yes. Our puppy food includes carefully made hypoallergenic recipes, grain free options and a single protein chicken recipe for pups who do better with simpler meals. There is also a sensitive stomach puppy food if that's your main concern. If your pup is regularly off their food or has digestive upset, a chat with your vet is worth having.

What size is the kibble in Harringtons puppy food?

Small, so a puppy can pick it up and chew it without much trouble. If your pup is very young or still getting used to solid food, you can soften dry kibble with a little warm water and reduce that as they get the hang of it. Kibble size is one of the things that changes between our puppy and adult recipes.

What pack sizes does puppy food come in?

Two bag sizes for dry, and two multipack sizes for wet trays. Exact weights and counts are on each product page, since they vary by recipe. The thing most owners get caught by is that a puppy's appetite climbs month on month, so the size that lasted three weeks in April will not last three weeks in June. Check the amount on the pack every few weeks and buy accordingly.

Can I feed grain free food to a puppy?

Yes. We make grain-free puppy recipes in our Superfoods range and across our wet puppy food recipes. These provide complete and balanced nutrition for growing puppies using alternative carbohydrate sources instead of grains. Grains are suitable for most puppies, so a grain-free diet isn't essential, but it's a great option if you prefer a grain-free recipe.
