What makes fresh fish so good for dogs?
Fish can be a lovely protein choice for your dog, especially if they need something nourishing, tasty and a little lighter in the bowl. It naturally brings omega 3 fatty acids, which are well known for helping support healthy skin and a shiny coat, alongside quality protein for everyday energy and muscle health.
Years uses fishy favourites like pollock, salmon and prawns in their recipes, paired with clear wholefood ingredients and personalised portions. Every meal is gently steam cooked to help lock in flavour, moisture and goodness, so your dog gets the bowl clearing excitement of fish with complete and balanced nutrition behind it.

Why Years fish dog food recipes do more than taste good
When you choose fish dog food for your four legged pal, you’re giving them more than just a tasty bowl. You’re choosing quality protein, naturally useful nutrients and the kind of fishy flavour that can turn everyday mealtimes into a full body wiggle situation.
At Years, we use fresh pollock, salmon and prawns, each bringing something useful to your dog’s dinner.
Salmon is naturally rich in omega 3 fatty acids to help support healthy skin, a glossy coat and everyday wellbeing. Pollock provides lean, high quality protein to help maintain muscle without weighing down the bowl. Prawns bring extra flavour, plus nutrients like vitamin B12, iodine and selenium to help support overall health.
Then, we build the rest around your dog: real wholefoods, personalised portions and gentle steam cooking for soft, juicy, bowl clearing fishy goodness.

At Years, our fish recipes use fresh pollock, salmon or prawns, paired with wholefood ingredients and personalised portions shaped around your dog’s needs.
Fish dog food can offer several benefits for dogs, especially when it is made as part of a complete and balanced recipe. Fish can provide lean protein, healthy fats, omega 3 fatty acids and useful nutrients that support skin, coat, digestion and overall health.
Years fish recipes are gently steam cooked to help keep meals soft, juicy and full of flavour, so your pup gets proper bowl clearing energy with great nutrition behind it.
Years uses fresh pollock, salmon and prawns in our fish recipes. Each brings something different to your dog’s bowl: salmon provides naturally occurring omega 3s, pollock offers lean quality protein, and prawns bring extra flavour along with nutrients such as vitamin B12, iodine and selenium.
Every recipe is made with clear ingredients, so you know exactly what is going into your dog’s dinner.
Fish dog food may suit some dogs with food sensitivities, especially if they react badly to more common proteins. However, allergies can be complicated, and itchy skin or digestive issues are not always caused by food.
If your dog has suspected allergies, recurring ear problems, paw licking or ongoing skin issues, speak to your vet. Years can help you choose from fish recipes or other protein options, but a vet should guide any strict elimination diet.
Switch your dog to fish dog food gradually over several days, especially if they have a sensitive stomach. Start by mixing a small amount of the new food with their current food, then slowly increase the amount of fish dog food while reducing their old food.
Years trial boxes include a feeding guide to help you transition your dog at a comfortable pace. You can also personalise their plan by breed, size, age and activity level, with fish and other protein options available depending on what suits your pup.
Fish dog food can help support healthy skin and a shiny coat because fish, especially salmon, naturally contains omega 3 fatty acids. These healthy fats play an important role in skin health, coat condition and general wellbeing.
Years uses fresh fish such as salmon, pollock and prawns, alongside nourishing wholefoods, to help give your dog a bowl that supports them from the inside out.
Fish can suit some dogs with sensitive stomachs because it is often a lighter protein choice and can be easier for some pups to enjoy. However, every dog is different, and sensitive digestion can have many causes, including sudden food changes, stress, parasites or underlying health issues.
If your dog has ongoing diarrhoea, vomiting, weight loss or discomfort, speak to your vet. For everyday sensitive tummies, Years lets you choose recipes around your dog’s preferences, food history and needs.
