How do you store dog food?

To ensure that the palatability and quality of the dog food is not only good but also stays good, it is important that the dog food is stored in the right way. You may not expect it so soon, but dog food can in fact go "past its date. But what is the best way to store an opened bag of dog food? In this blog, we give you tips!

Store dog food in a food container

It's actually quite simple: it's best to store dog food in a sealed food container. Here it is important that you do not shake the kibble in the barrel but that you put the kibble in with the original bag and all. This ensures that you always have all the information about the kibble at hand, such as the expiration date, batch code, ingredient list and nutrition chart.

Another added benefit of storing the food in a sealed food container: you keep pests away from the kibble. That way, your sweetest four-legged friend won't have to share his food with other uninvited guests.

Finally, make sure you put the feed barrel in a cool, dry and dark place. Avoid a place near a heat source (heating pipes, for example). This is because if the temperature fluctuates too much, mold can develop, which is obviously not the intention! Also stay away from detergent, which can cause an unpleasant and unwanted taste.
