Hartford & New Haven, CT, August 20, 2026 —
Years, a dog food subscription service based in the United Kingdom, has initiated a recall of all its fresh meal products. The recall comes in response to a potential association with sudden bilateral dry eye, a condition that has affected approximately 200 pets and can lead to vision loss.
The company stated that it is currently investigating its supply of buckwheat as a potential source of the issue. Buckwheat is an ingredient used in some of the recalled fresh meal products.
Sudden bilateral dry eye, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), is a condition that affects both eyes simultaneously. If left untreated, it can result in significant discomfort, corneal ulcers, and potentially permanent vision impairment or blindness.
Years has not provided specific details regarding the timeline of the affected pets’ diagnoses or the exact period during which the potentially problematic food was distributed. The exact number of pets affected is reported as nearing 200.
The company is working to identify the specific cause of the dry eye condition and its link to the food products. Further updates are expected as the investigation into the buckwheat supply progresses.
