Despite a high rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot, some Harringtons customers have voiced their frustrations about stock availability, with one pointing out: "Our dogs love Harringtons. They thrive on it. However we get really tired of not being able to get 4kg bags as they are rarely in stock. This means we have to buy lots of the 1.7kg bags which is more expensive and more difficult to store."

Another reviewer wrote: "My pups love the food , fast delivery, and cheaper than buying from the shops."

Overall, it appears that Harringtons Wet Dog Food is a well-rounded choice for pet owners looking to provide their dogs with a nutritious and delicious meal, covering all the essential bases. Other brands popular with shoppers include Forthglade and Lily’s Kitchen , too.
