Does your dog have diarrhoea or loose stools?
Does your dog have diarrhoea or loose stools?
Digestive upset in dogs can show up in lots of different ways, from diarrhoea and loose stools to bloating, excess gas, or noisy tummies. In many cases, it’s a sign that something in your dog's food simply isn’t agreeing with their digestion, whether that’s heavily processed ingredients, excess fillers, or a diet that’s difficult to digest comfortably.
That’s why I recommend feeding your dog a complete and balanced diet designed to support healthy digestion, just like Years recipes. Each meal is carefully developed with balanced fibre, nourishing ingredients and gentle preparation methods to help support firmer stools and better digestive balance over time.

Could Years suit your dog’s digestive needs?
When your dog’s poo is looking a little less pick up friendly, it’s only natural to give their dinner more thought. With Years, you can see exactly what’s going into their bowl.
Think named cuts of meat, colourful veg, fruit and seeds, gently cooked into 100% nutritionally complete Cupboard Fresh® meals, with personalised feeding instructions for your dog.
And there’s more going on from bowl to belly, too. Prebiotics feed beneficial gut bacteria, probiotics help maintain a healthy gut balance, and fibre helps maintain normal stool consistency!
If your pup is experiencing diarrhoea, remember to check with your vet before changing their food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Diarrhoea in dogs can be caused by many different factors including sudden food changes, rich foods, excess fillers, stress, food intolerances or ingredients that are difficult to digest. In some cases, ultra processed diets and unnecessary additives may irritate sensitive digestive systems and contribute to loose or irregular stools. Persistent digestive upset should always be discussed with your vet, particularly if symptoms are severe, frequent, or accompanied by vomiting, lethargy or weight loss.
Years Cupboard Fresh® recipes are carefully developed with highly digestible proteins, balanced fibre, prebiotics, probiotics and wholefood ingredients to help support healthier digestion, firmer stools and better gut balance over time. Gentle preparation methods may also help support beneficial gut bacteria, improved nutrient absorption and more comfortable digestion while avoiding excess starches, ultra processed fillers and unnecessary additives that can irritate sensitive stomachs.
Dogs with diarrhoea often benefit from gentle, highly digestible ingredients that are easier on the digestive system. Ingredients such as lean proteins, natural fibre sources, prebiotics, probiotics and wholefood vegetables can help support beneficial gut bacteria, nutrient absorption and stool consistency. Diets high in fillers, artificial additives or heavily processed ingredients may be harder for sensitive stomachs to tolerate.
Yes, all Years recipes are completely grain free. We use quinoa instead of grains or fillers. Quinoa is a seed that is easy for dogs to digest, making it suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs. It provides protein, fibre and essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium and zinc, to support overall health.
The cost of a Years meal plan depends on things like your dog’s breed, size, age and how active they are. The price also changes if you want to feed only Years food or mix it with what your dog already eats. To find how much your plan would cost, just take our quiz.
We gently steam cook our meals at an average of 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 3months, but always check the expiry date on the label.
Yes, sudden diet changes are one of the most common causes of diarrhoea in dogs. Transitioning gradually over several days can help your dog’s digestive system adjust more comfortably to a new food and reduce the likelihood of digestive upset.
That's why it is important to take your time when switching to a new food. Experts recommend you do so slowly over the course of 7-10 days and consistently monitor for signs of digestive upset.
Yes, some dog breeds can be more prone to sensitive digestion, loose stools and digestive upset than others. Breeds such as French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Labradors, Boxers and Cocker Spaniels are commonly associated with more sensitive stomachs or food intolerances. However, any dog can experience digestive issues depending on their diet, stress levels, age and overall gut health.
Feeding highly digestible food made with balanced fibre, prebiotics, probiotics and wholefood ingredients may help support healthier digestion and more consistent stools in dogs with sensitive stomachs.
