Harringtons Dog Food for Sensitive Stomachs

Dog food for sensitive stomachs works best when it's simple and consistent. A short ingredient list, the same food every day, and a slow switch whenever you change things can all help a sensitive tummy settle. Not every upset comes down to the food itself, though. A sudden change of diet, a few too many treats, scavenging on walks, or a stressful week can all play a part.

Our Just 6 recipes are made with only six key ingredients each, which makes it easier to spot what your dog gets on with. They're grain free and use one main meat or fish ingredient per recipe, with no wheat, soya, dairy, artificial colours, or flavours. Choose crunchy kibble in 2kg or 12kg bags, or wet food in gravy, sold in trays.

If your dog gets on better without grains, our Superfoods recipes use sweet potato, potato, and beans instead. They include beet pulp for fibre and FOS, a prebiotic that can help support healthy digestion. Our grain free wet dog food pairs freshly prepared meat ingredients with potato and veg, and you'll also find carefully made hypoallergenic recipes from our core range here.

How you feed matters as much as what you feed. Two or three smaller meals a day can be easier on a sensitive tummy than one big one. Weighing each meal on kitchen scales helps too, as overfeeding can cause loose stools on its own. If your dog's tummy troubles keep coming back, a quick chat with your vet can help put your mind at ease, and if you spot blood or they seem lethargic, call your vet straight away. Feeding a pup? Our sensitive stomach puppy food brings the gentler recipes for growing dogs together. Browse all our dog food for sensitive stomachs below.
There is also our Superfoods range with grain free recipes in both dry and wet, supercharged with superfood blends, for dogs who simply do not get on with grains, plus carefully made hypoallergenic recipes within our core range.

True food allergies are rare in dogs, affecting around 0.2% to 2% of them. Most cases are sensitivities rather than allergies, and they tend to settle when meals are predictable, ingredients are limited and any new food is introduced slowly over seven to 10 days.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if my dog has a sensitive stomach?

Common signs include loose stools, occasional vomiting, excess wind, an itchy coat or skin, or your dog being off their food. These signs can come and go and aren't always linked to food, so keep a diary of what your dog eats and how they get on for a week or two. If symptoms are ongoing or severe, a chat with your vet can help rule out anything more serious.

What ingredients should I avoid in dog food for sensitive stomachs?

Rather than avoiding specific ingredients, it helps to try out limited-ingredient recipes. Our Just 6 recipes are made with only six key ingredients, making it easier to identify what your dog gets on with. Some dogs react to a particular protein or to grains, but every dog responds differently, so simplicity often beats trying to second-guess.

How long does it take for a new food to settle my dog's stomach?

We'd suggest introducing any new food gradually over seven to 10 days, mixing it in with the old food and increasing the new food a little each day. Most dogs adjust within a couple of weeks, though sensitive stomachs sometimes need a bit longer. If things don't settle, a quick chat with your vet can help put your mind at ease.

Is Just 6 suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs?

Just 6 recipes are made with six simple ingredients each. They're grain free and use one main meat or fish ingredient per recipe, which can make it easier to manage food sensitivities. We wouldn't promise it'll fix any specific issue, but the simpler ingredient list makes it a sensible place to start.

Is wet or dry food better for a sensitive stomach?

Either can suit, and consistency matters more than the format. Wet food has more moisture and is often more tempting for a dog who's gone off their dinner, while dry food is easy to portion accurately by weight. If you'd like to feed both, our mix feeding guide explains how to keep the daily total the same.

What meat is best for a dog with a sensitive stomach?

There's no single best meat, as every dog is different. Some dogs do well on a recipe built around one main protein, which is why our Just 6 recipes come in chicken, lamb, and salmon. If you think your dog isn't getting on with a particular meat, try a recipe with a different main protein and check the full ingredients on the pack, as some include small amounts of other ingredients like salmon oil. Our guide to chicken and poultry sensitivities goes into more detail.

Can I feed my dog chicken and rice for an upset stomach?

A plain, bland meal can help for a day or two, but chicken and rice isn't a complete diet, so it shouldn't be fed long term. Once your dog's tummy has settled, move them back onto their usual complete food gradually over a few days. If the upset lasts more than a day or two, or your dog seems unwell, speak to your vet before trying any home remedies.

What is the most gentle dog food for a sensitive stomach?

There's no one recipe that suits every dog. Gentle usually means a complete food with a short, simple ingredient list, a protein your dog already gets on with, and nothing artificial. Feeding it consistently and switching slowly makes as much difference as the recipe itself.
