Does your dog need brain & memory support?
Does your dog need brain & memory support?
Just like humans, dogs can experience changes in brain health as they age. Conditions such as canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) can affect cognitive health, leading to confusion, disrupted sleep, anxiety or reduced responsiveness. While these changes are more common in older dogs, nutrition plays an important role at every life stage, helping to support brain function, learning, focus and emotional balance.
Wholefood, minimally processed diets that support brain and cognitive health typically include omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants and high quality protein to help maintain brain function and reduce oxidative stress.

Years Fresh Dog Food is formulated with nutrients that support brain and cognitive health, including omega 3 fatty acids such as DHA, antioxidants to help manage oxidative stress, and carefully selected botanicals associated with nervous system support. Together, these ingredients help maintain brain function, supporting memory, mood and mental sharpness as part of a balanced, complete diet.
For dogs showing signs of cognitive change, targeted nutritional support can play an important role. Years offers access to a veterinary panel through a free 1:1 consultation, providing tailored guidance to help support your dog’s brain health based on their age, health status and individual needs.

With Years Fresh Dog Food, your dog will enjoy omega 3s like DHA (great for mainitaining quick reactions and a switched on mind), alongside antioxidant rich ingredients like blueberries and leafy greens to help protect against cognitive decline.

And just as importantly, there’s no guesswork. No hidden fillers, no vague “derivatives,” just clearly listed ingredients you recognise, each chosen to support your dog’s brain and cognitive health for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions
Canine Cognitive Dysfunction is an age related condition that affects the brain. It may lead to confusion, disturbed sleep, increased anxiety, accidents in the house or changes in learnt behaviour.
Ageing, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, low quality diets and reduced levels of key nutrients such as omega 3s and antioxidants can all contribute to declining brain health.
Years recipes use lean proteins, antioxidant rich fruits, omega rich oils and natural botanicals to nourish the brain. Omega 3s, vitamins and polyphenols help protect cognitive function and support mood and behaviour.
We gently steam cook our meals at 78°C. This removes harmful bacteria but keeps the natural vitamins, minerals, and moisture from fresh foods. Our cooking process also means you don’t have to freeze or refrigerate the meals before you open them, so you save space in your fridge and freezer. Just keep your Years meals and supplements in a pantry or cupboard. They will stay fresh for up to 3 months, but always check the expiry date on the label.
Key ingredients include DHA from omega rich oils, antioxidant rich berries, spinach powder, seeds, turmeric and calming herbs that help support the nervous system.
Years is suitable for puppy, adult and senior dogs. At the moment we are unable to cater to pregnant or lactating dogs or those that have pancreatitis.
Yes. Minimally processed wholefood meals preserve nutrients, support digestion, protect brain health and improve coat, skin and energy. When paired with tailored supplements, the benefits are even stronger.
Many dogs show brighter behaviour, better focus and improved sleep within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent feeding. Long term benefits are seen when brain supporting nutrients are provided daily.
