Grain Free
Fresh Dog Food

Grain free dog food is not automatically “better” for every dog, but for many pups it can offer benefits such as healthier digestion, balanced energy levels and improved skin and coat condition, particularly when compared to heavily processed foods packed with cheap cereal fillers.

The biggest difference comes down to ingredient quality. High quality grain free dog food, like Years, replaces low nutritional value fillers with wholefood ingredients such as sweet potato, vegetables, buckwheat seed, and premium proteins to provide more balanced, functional nutrition that helps support your dog’s overall health and wellbeing.

For many dogs, grain free dog food can help support healthier digestion, particularly if they struggle with bloating, excessive wind, loose stools, or discomfort linked to wheat, corn, or heavily processed ingredients. Grain free recipes often use gentler carbohydrate sources like sweet potato and buckwheat seed, alongside higher quality proteins and fibre rich vegetables that are easier for many dogs to digest.

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 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.

In some dogs, grain free dog food may help reduce itching, flaky skin, and irritation linked to food sensitivities or intolerances. While grains are not harmful for every dog, some pups are more sensitive to ingredients like wheat or gluten.

Years grain free dog food uses clearly listed wholefood ingredients and avoids low quality fillers, helping support healthier skin and shinier coats through balanced nutrition and omegarich ingredients.

Yes, grain free dog food still contains carbohydrates, just from different sources. Rather than relying on cereal grains, Years recipes use ingredients like sweet potato, parsnips, vegetables, and buckwheat seed to provide slow-release energy that helps support steadier energy levels throughout the day. These wholefood carbohydrate sources also provide additional fibre, vitamins, and minerals.

Many grain free kibbles still rely heavily on processed starches and ultra-processed ingredients. Years takes a fresh food approach instead, using real wholefood ingredients, clearly listed proteins, vegetables, seeds, and botanicals to create balanced grain free meals tailored to your dog’s needs. There are no low quality meat derivatives, artificial fillers, or unnecessary grains, just personalised nutrition designed to help your dog thrive.

Grain free dog food can be a great option for many healthy adult dogs, especially those with sensitive digestion, skin issues, or intolerances to certain grains. However, the most important factor is choosing a complete and balanced recipe that meets your dog’s nutritional needs. Years grain free dog food is carefully formulated to provide balanced nutrition using high-quality proteins, healthy fats, fibre-rich vegetables, and functional wholefood ingredients to support your dog’s long term health and wellbeing.
