Does your dog have bad breath or plaque buildup?
Does your dog have bad breath or plaque buildup?
Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs, affecting more than 80% of dogs over the age of 3. Without proper dental care, plaque and tartar buildup can lead to bad breath, inflamed gums, painful infections and even tooth loss.
Poor oral health in dogs has also been linked to wider health issues including heart, kidney and liver disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common signs include bad breath, red or swollen gums, yellow-brown tartar on the teeth, drooling or reluctance to chew. In advanced cases, dogs may paw at their mouth or even lose teeth.
Yes. While brushing is the gold standard, diet plays a big role. Food that avoids sugars and starchy fillers helps reduce plaque-causing bacteria. Recipes with different textures and tooth-friendly minerals and botanicals can support cleaner teeth and healthier gums.
Unlike many commercial options, Years recipes are fresh, wholefood meals that promote full-body health, with no hidden sugars or excessive starches. They include anti-bacterial herbs, antioxidant fruits and mineral-rich seeds to actively support oral health.
Yes, all Years recipes are completely grain free. We use quinoa and buckwheat instead of grains or fillers. Both are nutrient-dense seeds that are easy for dogs to digest, making them suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs. They provide protein, fibre and essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium and zinc, to support overall health.
The cost of a Years meal plan depends on things like your dog’s breed, size, age and how active they are. The price also changes if you want to feed only Years food or mix it with what your dog already eats. To find how much your plan would cost, just take our quiz.
We gently steam cook our meals at an average of 78°C. This removes harmful bacteria but keeps the natural vitamins, minerals, and moisture from fresh foods. Our cooking process also means you don’t have to freeze or refrigerate the meals before you open them, so you save space in your fridge and freezer. Just keep your Years meals and supplements in a pantry or cupboard. They will stay fresh for up to 3months, but always check the expiry date on the label.
Absolutely. All Years recipes are grain, soy, legume and dairy free, making them ideal for dogs with sensitivities. Additionally, all of the ingredients are clearly labelled.
Yes. Smaller breeds and brachycephalic dogs (like pugs or bulldogs) are more prone to dental issues because of their jaw shape. Years personalises meals for your dog’s breed, lifestyle and age - providing targeted support where it’s needed most.
