About Us
Who We Are
Our story began with our dog Shorty. He's been our best friend since 2010. We became very concerned with his diet when he was diagnosed with diabetes in July 2021 and learned the average life expectancy for dogs after becoming diabetic was 2 years. We set out to learn more about canine nutrition and understand the health benefits of fresh food vs dry, ultra-processed kibble.
We're excited to share what we've learned from veterinary nutritionists with other dogs and their parents. It turns out, eating dry processed meat byproducts every day may not be the best way to meet our nutritional needs. There's no wrong way, but there may just be a better way.
Shorty sure likes it and we hope your best friend will too!
A little bit of history
Dry dog food has been around forever (but actually only since World War 2) and it's been a staple of our dogs' lives ever since. It attracted large corporations with a cheap to make, high-profit food product.
Fresh dog food started appearing in the past few years. We think it's a great way to feed, but understand it can be an expensive way to keep our pups in tip-top shape.
Enter our method of combining real food with our multivitamin created specifically for your dogs' needs. You pick the protein (chicken/beef/pork/etc) and add the Dog Years multivitamin for a nutritionally complete meal. You get to control food costs and provide a fresh, healthy meal for your dog.
