Now that you have an understanding of what causes dog food to spoil and what benefits different storage containers have to offer, you’re ready to learn the basics about food storage. To start, here are some of the things you SHOULD do:

Store the entire bag of your dog’s food in your chosen storage container. Not only does the package have the product’s best by date and bar code, but the inside of the bag is treated to keep your dog’s food protected from air and humidity.

Pay attention to the “best by” or “use by” date on the package. Though you may be able to store an unopened bag of pet food for quite a while, you should plan to finish the bag within six weeks after it is opened to guarantee freshness.

Keep your food container in a cool, dry place with a maximum temperature of 70°F and 15% humidity.

Always clean and disinfect your storage container between batches of food and keep your dog’s food and water bowls clean as well.

If you plan to store your dog’s food in the freezer, use airtight containers or freezer bags (vacuum sealed bags are ideal) – when you thaw the food, only thaw enough to last a few days.

Store opened cans of dog food in the fridge for no more than 3 days and seal the can with a tight-fitting lid. For more news and updates on Pet Food Container , stay tuned with https://www.pet-food-container.com/
