Avoid these tricks "human grade" fresh dog food brands are using right now

Share these labelling tricks to avoid

1

"Mince" on the label is often Mechanically Separated Meat

Don't be duped by photos of prime chicken breast on the website, if their ingredient page says chicken mince it is most likely Mechanically Separated Meat.

Would you eat this?

"Freshly Prepared Chicken"on the label isn't what you think

Mechanical separation from the carcass (head, feet, scrap cuts) grounded and pasteurised into a freshly prepared chicken mush.

3

The product is all "minced" up to hide the Frankenstein meats.

They claim to use premium ingredients but then the product resembles brown mush with the odd flicker of veg, why?

Because it is the best way to hide the type of meat they're really using.

Calling the ingredients "human grade" to give the impression of quality

All the ingredients above are "human grade" but do you fancy them for dinner tonight? No. Don't be fooled by the term human grade.

Meat you would eat - like steak!

Dog food should be real food, food you would eat yourself – that is our philosophy. And that is why we never use “human grade” meats like mechanically separated meat but actual cuts of meats you would recognise and eat yourself.

Your dog will enjoy matured steak, skinless turkey and chicken thighs with super fruits, seeds and vibrant vegetables.

Human quality meats– not “human grade”
Wholefoods– from vibrant veg to seeds
Fussy dog approved– they will love it

Frequently Asked Questions

Wondering if Years if for you?

Talk with us.

Our team is here to help with ANY query even if it's not related to our food. Our goal is to help dogs live longer, whether they’re eating Years or not.

How are Years.com meals cooked?

We gently Steam Fresh™ your dog’s meals to eliminate harmful bacteria while preserving the natural vitamins, minerals, and moisture found in fresh, whole foods. Each meal is carefully crafted by our chefs in our Nottingham kitchens, ensuring the highest quality for your dog.

We’ve done all the hard work – no cooking needed! Your dog’s food arrives fully cooked, pre-portioned and ready to enjoy straight from the tray. And thanks to our Steam Fresh™ process, you can store it in your pantry or kitchen cupboards, freeing up fridge space.

Are Years.com dog meals grain-free?

They most certainly are. Instead of using grains and fillers, we use quinoa, a nutrient-dense seed that supports healthy heart and nervous system functions.

Grain-free dog food is especially beneficial for dogs with sensitive digestion, specific health needs, or grain allergies.

To learn more about the benefits of grain-free dog food, visit our blog: What Is Grain-Free Dog Food and Is It Good for My Dog?.

How often should I feed my adult dog, and how much should I give them?

Most adult dogs thrive on having their daily food split into two equal meals. This approach helps keep them satisfied and aids digestion better than feeding a single, larger meal. For dogs with specific health concerns, several smaller meals throughout the day may be more appropriate.

Determining the exact amount of food your dog needs isn’t one-size-fits-all. The ideal portion size varies based on factors like age, size, activity level, and overall health. While many dog food brands provide feeding guidelines based on your pet’s ideal body weight, we aim to simplify the process for you.

For more guidance on how much to feed your dog and the factors that affect portion size, explore this blog.

Our system accurately assesses your dog’s nutritional needs, and our pre-portioned, recyclable single-use trays are crafted to meet those needs precisely – no more measuring or weighing required!

That said, you know your dog best. If you feel they require more or less food than our recommendations, you can easily adjust their portion size in your account.

What is human grade dog food?

Despite the claims, "human-grade" dog food isn't always as beneficial as it sounds. Many fresh dog food brands use the term "human-grade" to describe meats that are often mechanically separated and less desirable.

Be cautious of brands that label their meat as “mince” or “freshly prepared chicken” – these can be misleading.

Our philosophy is simple. Dog food should be as fresh and real as the food you would eat yourself. That’s why we avoid using "human-grade" meats like mechanically separated meat. Instead, we use real, recognisable cuts – like chicken thighs, pork shoulder, and turkey drumsticks – the same quality you’d enjoy yourself.

How to transition my dog to a new dog food?

To avoid upset stomachs from sudden diet changes, we suggest a gradual transition over 7 days. Start with 25% of the new food mixed with the old food on Day 1.

While this 7-day plan suits most dogs, those with sensitive stomachs may need a slower transition. Feel free to extend the period as needed.

Maintain a consistent feeding schedule and monitor your dog for any signs of discomfort, such as diarrhoea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. If any issues arise, slow the transition or consult your vet.

For a full step-by-step transition guide with daily amounts, visit our How do I introduce my dog to Years? article and make the switch to their new food as smooth as possible.

Do Years use artificial colours or flavours?

No, we don't.

We don’t need to, as our meals, treats, and supplements are made from 100% fresh, wholefoods with no added colours, flavours, or preservatives.

All our ingredients come directly from the human food supply chain, with no by-products or waste. Compared to other dog food companies that blend their products, our meals use only high-quality ingredients, and we keep them in their natural form as we have nothing to hide.
