What’s the Quality of Meat in Years Meals?Updated a day ago
At Years, we take pride in using only the finest cuts of meat — the kind you'd recognise from your own kitchen.
🥩 Premium Cuts, Just Like Nature Intended
We use prime muscle 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 supports 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 and superfood ingredients are locally sourced for freshness and traceability.
