I recently did the weeks trial with my dog of the salmon and pollock flavour, as he is allergic to all meats other than lamb and fish, so I thought this would be safe for him. However within the week his ears became blistered and covered in rashes. The vet agreed with me that it’s the change to years food and once he was taken off this food, he went back to normal. I have spoken to years about this trying to see if there has been any other reactions with dogs, as well as try post in the facebook page. However so far I have been met with a denial of my post and emails denying that it is the food and it must be another issue. Which both myself and the vet agree is not the case. I have no doubt this is a high quality food however customer service have been terrible at helping us. We had just paid for 4weeks worth of food before we realised the issue and did not want food to go to waste originally however now I am unhappy with both the food that’s now cost me vet bills and the service

Hi Meghan
That sounds awful - so sorry to hear about your dog's been poorly. It's definitely not a reaction I've heard before, but every dog is different!
And so sorry you haven't had a good response from our team.
Can you get back in touch referencing this discussion and we'll get things sorted for you.

What is the actual fibre content per 100g?
As it reads two different amounts on the review (the 'typical analysis' and 'dry weight nutrient') but with no correlation to what it is to i.e. 100g/1kg.
We have a puppy and she was experiencing anal gland issues when we used Years. We tried to supplement with a fibre supplements but her poop was still very small and dry and she was getting her anal glans expressed every three weeks.
We didn't really think anything of it, until she spent a week at my mum's and went for my mum's dogs food and her poop was larger and smoother. We have changed our puppy's dog food now and we aren't having any anal gland issues or small poop issues.
I noticed the new dog food has a fibre content of 3% and it made me wonder if the fibre content of Years is actually 1.3% (which seems pretty low) and this was a contributing factor to our puppys issues.
Other than this issue we had, we loved Years but it maybe something to consider if your puppy/dog is having anal gland issues.

We JUST enhanced our recipes with the help of our very own fine dining, ex luxury Yacht Head Chef Luke Alkemade working in collaboration with Mike Davies, RVCS specialist in Veterinary Clinical Nutrition - adding offal and a range of botanicals :-)

Have you stopped including lipped green mussel in your recipes? My original recipe included lipped green mussels but I can’t find any listed on the ingredients.

Hi Taz,
Many of our Complete Nutrition Systems do have this in - it depends what Superfood Supplement you have with your breed of dog (this ingredient is added in this because it is absorbed well by your dog). If you ping us an email yap@years.com the team can take a look at your dogs Complete Nutrition System and advise accordingly.
Hope that helps :-)

Suitable for all breeds of dogs
Private label (or white label) pet foods are pre-formulated recipes that companies can order from certain factories, add their own label or packaging and retail to the public as their own brand. They are therefore available from numerous suppliers. Click here for more info.
In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
This is the ingredients list as printed on the packaging or manufacturer's website.
Think of the 'mixing bowl' composition like a recipe - all the ingredients you would need to put in a 'mixing bowl' in order to make the food.
Ingredients have to be listed in descending order of their weight so the higher it appears, the more there is.
Highlighted ingredients
Ingredients that we believe to be controversial or inferior are highlighted in yellow with particularly low grade, highly contentious or excessively vague ingredients in red.
As fed composition
While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.
For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.
Please note that these figures are very approximate. They are estimates based on the information provided by the manufacturer in the ingredients list so the clearer the terminology and the more percentages they provide, the more accurate our estimates will be. Wherever information is lacking, we always assume the worst.
Ingredient categories
◉ Meat ingredients: includes all meat and fish ingredients except isolated fats/oils.
◉Added oils and fats: includes all isolated oil and fat ingredients.
◉ Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements.
◉ Fruit and veg: includes all whole vegetables and fruits.
◉ Other: all other ingredients. Mostly made up by nutritional supplements and additives.
The dry matter level of a nutrient is the percentage there would be in the food if all of the water was removed.
With water taken out of the equation, these figures allow the nutrient levels of foods of different types (like wet and dry) to be compared on an even playing field.
In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
The price per day of feeding this food based on feeding the manufacturer's recommended daily amount from 400g packs bought at their rrp to a dog of:
kg
Go!
Note: All suggested feeding amounts and costs are only approximate and may vary considerably from dog to dog. Be sure to contact the manufacturer if in any doubt.
95 out of 100 - Excellent
Our unique product ratings are calculated based on a number of characteristics including the quality and quantity of the stated ingredients, certain nutritional and technological additives and the processing methods used to create the food. They are designed to indicate how beneficial we think a food is likely to be for the majority of dogs when fed on a daily basis for an extended period. Click here for more information
Country of origin: United Kingdom
A technological additive is any substance added to a pet food "for a technological purpose and which favourably affects the characteristics of feed".
While the primary effects of technoloical additives are certainly 'favourable' (increased shelf life in the case of preservatives & antioxidants, better food texture and consistency in the case of gelling agents and thickeners etc.) some have been linked to health problems in pets and should be treated with caution.
Unfortunately, many technological additives do not have to be declared by the manufacturer so just because they do not appear on the label does not necessarily mean they are not in the food. If in doubt, ask the manufacturer directly exactly what technological additives their foods contain.
