How are Years meals cooked?Updated 8 days ago

At Years, we make mealtime simple, safe, and nutritious — for both you and your dog.

🍲 Gently Cooked for Safety and Nutrition

Our in-house chefs steam cook every meal to eliminate harmful bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. This gentle process keeps all the natural goodness intact — preserving the vitamins, minerals, and moisture found in fresh whole foods.

The result? Meals that are fully cooked, safe to eat, and ready to serve straight from the tray. No prep, no fuss.

🧊 No Freezing, No Defrosting

Thanks to our steam cooking method, you don’t need to freeze or refrigerate your dog’s meals before opening. Just grab a tray from your cupboard or pantry — no need to defrost or plan ahead. It’s convenience you’ll appreciate every day.

🗓️ Storing Your Meals

  • Before opening: Keep your Years meals and superfood supplement blends in a cool, dry place. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months — just check the expiry date on the label.
  • After opening: Use our reusable Stay Fresh™ lid to seal the tray and store it in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for up to 7 days.

Our Stay Fresh™ lids come in Small and Large sizes to fit your trays perfectly — making storage easy and mess-free.
