How do you store dog food?

As a dog owner, you naturally consider the quality of your four-legged friend’s food very important. After all, you only want the very best for your beloved wagging companion! To ensure that the palatability and quality of your dog food are not only good but remain that way, it is important to store dry dog food properly. You may not expect it, but dry dog food can indeed go “out of date.” So what is the best way to store an opened bag of dog food? In this blog, we’ll give you some tips!

Store dry dog food in a food storage container

It’s actually very simple: the best way to store dry dog food is in a sealed food storage container. It is important not to pour the kibble loose into the container, but to place the original bag inside it. This way, you always have all the information about the food at hand, such as the best-before date, batch code, ingredient list, and feeding table.

Another benefit of storing food in a sealed container is that it keeps pests away from the kibble. This means your beloved four-legged friend does not have to share their food with any uninvited guests.

Finally, make sure to place the food container in a cool, dry, and dark spot. Avoid placing it near a heat source, such as heating pipes. If the temperature fluctuates too much, mold can develop, which is of course not what you want! Also keep it away from laundry detergent, as this can cause an unpleasant and unwanted taste.
