If anyone is currently feeding their animals years dog food please stop immediately and make an appointment with your usual vet.
Years Dog Food have this morning issued a voluntary recall on all their fresh meals following reports of dogs developing a painful eye condition.
Some dogs eating their diets have been being diagnosed with ‘Dry Eye’, an illness caused by the eyes no longer producing enough tears.
Symptoms include red, sore eyes, a sticky, snot-like discharge around eyes and in some cases ulcers on the surface of the eyes.
It is easily diagnosed by a tear production test at your vets but treatment can sometimes be challenging.
They have advised that anyone who has their meals stops feeding them immediately and all subscription plans will be paused for 6 weeks.
The focus at the moment appears to be on buckwheat as an ingredient and Years have been working with veterinary specialists to try to find out the cause.
If you feed Years and are concerned or have a dog who you think might be impacted, visit your vet for a check up and contact Years via the information in this link;

In the meantime, my advice would be to move your dog to a kibble or canned based pet food while this investigation is on-going.
