Talk with us.

Our team is here to help with ANY query even if it's not related to our food. Our goal is to help dogs live longer, whether they’re eating Years or not.

Over the last few years, we have worked incredibly close with qualified vets and dog nutritionists to scientifically perfectour recipes. By combining our extensive research and data with the specific details you provide about your dog, we able to create a highly accurate veterinary formula.

Your dog’s recipe is tailored based on factors like:
- Age / Life Stage
- Gender
- Breed

- Activity levels

- Treat consumption
- Allergies (e.g. Gluten, Beef, Chicken, etc.)
- Health Issues (e.g. Arthritis, Diabetes, Sensitive skin or stomach, etc.)

This information helps determine the exact number of calories and ingredients you should be feeding to your dog to help them thrive. Therefore, every dog fed by Years, essentially has their own virtual dietician and personal chef, creating a bespoke pre-portioned nutrition plan tailored specifically for them, because every dog is different.

Most dog food brands provide generic feeding guidelines based on your dog’s size. We believe your dog deserves personalised nutrition tailored just for them. After all, your dog is one of a kind, and their food should be too!
