Years dog food recalled

Important Information for Owners Feeding Years Dog FoodIf you are currently feeding your dog Years dog food, please check the company’s website and the relevant official recall information for the latest updates.


There have been reports from dog owners of dogs developing eye-related symptoms, including dry eye and increased blinking. Some owners have said that veterinary ophthalmologists are investigating a possible association with specific products. However, the cause of any individual dog’s symptoms can only be determined by a qualified veterinary professional.


One Silvestre owner has described her dog becoming unwell and requiring several veterinary and specialist appointments. She has been advised that the food may be a contributing factor. This is an individual case, and owners should seek veterinary advice rather than relying on social media reports.


If your dog is showing signs such as excessive blinking, squinting, redness, discharge, rubbing at the eyes or any change in eye appearance, please contact your vet promptly. Take details of the food your dog has been eating and mention the published recall information. Your vet can advise whether a referral to a veterinary ophthalmologist is appropriate and recommend suitable treatment or ongoing management.


The number of owners discussing similar concerns online appears to have increased significantly, and a Facebook support group has reportedly grown from around 100 to more than 1,600 members in just a few days. This highlights how concerned many owners are, although online reports should not be treated as confirmed medical evidence.


We feel very sorry for all the affected dogs and their owners and hope they receive the appropriate care and support. We also understand that Years appears to have acted after concerns were brought to its attention and is removing the relevant product. Please refer to the company’s official statements and any advice issued by the appropriate authorities for confirmed information.

We at Silvestre have never recommended years dog food as a go too as we like raw feeding first.
