What’s the Quality of Meat in Years Meals?Updated 6 days ago

At Years, we take pride in using only prime cuts of meat, from forequarter steak to chicken thigh and Scottish salmon — the kind you'd recognise on your own plate.

🥩 Premium Cuts, Just Like Nature Intended

We use prime cuts like forequarter steak, chicken, and turkey thigh, paired with nutrient-rich organ meats such as beef heart, turkey heart, and pork liver. These are the types of meats dogs would naturally seek out in the wild, offering:

• A full spectrum of amino acids
• Healthy fatty acids
• Essential vitamins and minerals

This variety helps to support your dog’s overall health, energy, and wellbeing.

🚫 No Processed or Mystery Meats

You may have heard the term “human-grade” used in pet food marketing — but it’s not always what it seems. While it sounds reassuring, “human-grade” simply means the ingredient could be used in a human meal. In reality, it often refers to mechanically separated or heavily processed meat.

We steer clear of:

• Mechanically separated meat
• Heavily salted or pasteurised proteins
• Ground or minced meat with no clear origin

Instead, we specify the exact cuts we use — no vague labels like “meat meal” or “minced chicken.”

👀 How to Spot Quality Meat

You’ll see the difference in every tray:

• Natural texture with visible muscle fibres
• Rich, appetising colour
• Clearly identifiable cuts — not a grey paste or mush

It looks like real food because it is real food.

🐟 Sustainably Sourced Fish

We only use fish caught at sea — never farmed salmon — and we partner with certified sustainable fisheries. We use main body cuts and avoid all by-products. Plus, our wholefood ingredients are carefully sourced for freshness and traceability.
