Rank #3 in Best Senior Dog Food 2026: 10 Bags Ranked by Price per Kilo
Harringtons Complete Senior Chicken & Rice, 12kg
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
Harringtons Complete Dry Senior Dog Food Chicken & Rice 12kg is third in this guide, and it sits in the middle of the price-per-kilo ladder the ranking is built on. At £26.39 for a 12 kg bag it works out at £2.20/kg: more than the £1.33/kg Wagg bag, less than the £3.71/kg Arden Grange bag and far less than the £8.88/kg Lily's Kitchen bag. It carries 4.7 stars from 632 ratings — the same star figure as Arden Grange, on a smaller rating base.
The finding on this listing is that here the title and the spec table agree, where they do not on the cheaper Wagg bag: Harringtons puts 'Senior' on the front and its own age-range field reads 'Senior' too. The second bullet, though, calls it 'a complete adult dog food', so the listing itself uses both words. Two other fields are worth reading before you buy: 'Animal Food Diet Type: Veterinary Diet' and 'Occasion: Birthday'. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this product, not from any testing we have carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I realised recently that my oldest dog is officially a senior and needs adaptations to her diet. I genuinely did hours of research and every road led back to Harrington's so I thought I'd give it a shot... she goes absolutely crazy for the stuff lol. No change to her poops so seems to be easily digestible. The specific combination of ingredients and supplements is what sells it for me. It might be a little on the pricier side but it's well worth it to know my dog is getting everything she needs. I got a new puppy 4 days ago and she's loving the Harrington's puppy food too :D”
Verified purchase“Dog loves this food. Easier getting it from amazon then the supermarkets”
