What’s the Quality of Meat in Years Meals?Updated 24 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.
