Is your dog showing signs of stress or anxiety?
Is your dog showing signs of stress or anxiety?
Many dogs in the UK struggle with anxiety, whether it’s separation stress, noise sensitivity, or general nervousness. Studies have shown that almost three-quarters of dogs show signs of anxiety. Canine anxiety can show up as reactivity, digestive upset, destructive behaviours or difficulty settling. Over time, it can impact their overall health and happiness.
Years dog food is carefully formulated to support calmness and emotional balance. Using lean proteins, soothing vegetables, antioxidant-rich fruits, seeds and calming botanicals, all meals provide complete nutrition while avoiding unnecessary fillers.

Fresh recipes to help manage your dog’s stress and anxiety
How Years helps your dog feel calmer and more settled
Tasty, complete meals designed to support calmer behaviour in your dog, using real, wholefoods you can recognise. By focusing on fresh, minimally processed recipes, we keep hold of the key nutrients involved in regulating your dog's mood and stress levels, often lost in heavily processed diets.
Each recipe is developed with high quality proteins and naturally occurring nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium and essential amino acids like L Tryptophan, known to help regulate calming signals in your dog’s brain. We also prioritise steady, slow release energy, helping your dog stay more settled, focused and content throughout the day.
Just as importantly, we leave out the usual anxiety causing culprits... Excess fillers, refined carbohydrates and meat derivatives that can lead to energy spikes and restlessness. Instead, you’ll find clearly labelled ingredients, so you know exactly what’s in their bowl, and how it helps them feel more at ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dog anxiety can be triggered by many things, including separation from owners, loud noises like fireworks, changes in routine, lack of socialisation or underlying health issues.
Years recipes use natural, wholefood ingredients and calming botanicals. They include omega-3 rich oils to support brain and nervous system health, prebiotics and probiotics for the gut-brain connection and herbs like chamomile and turmeric to promote relaxation and resilience.
Key ingredients include hempseed oil, chamomile, turmeric, ginger and antioxidant-rich fruits. Together, these support a balanced nervous system, can reduce inflammation and encourage calmness.
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.
Yes, all Years recipes are completely grain free. We use quinoa and buckwheat instead of grains or fillers. Both are nutrient-dense seeds that are easy for dogs to digest, making them suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs. They provide protein, fibre and essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium and zinc, to support overall health.
It’s best to transition gradually over 7–10 days, mixing increasing amounts of fresh food with your dog’s current meals to avoid digestive upset.
Some dogs show signs of improved calmness and better digestion within 2–4 weeks. Long-term results come from consistently feeding a balanced diet, alongside enrichment, exercise and behavioural support.
