How do you store dog food?

As a dog owner, you naturally find 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 taste and quality of the dog food are not only good but also remain good, it is important to store the dog kibble properly. You might not expect it, but dog kibble can indeed go 'past its expiration date.' So how do you best store an opened bag of dog food? In this blog, we give you tips!

Store dog kibble in a food container

It's actually very simple: the best way to store dog kibble is in a sealed food container. It is important that you do not shake the kibble in the container but place the kibble in the original bag inside the container. This way, you always have all the information about the kibble at hand, such as the expiration date, batch code, ingredient list, and nutrition table.

Another added benefit of storing the food in a sealed container: you keep pests away from the kibble. This way, your beloved four-legged friend doesn’t have to share their food with any unwanted guests.

Finally, make sure to place the food container in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid spots near a heat source (for example, heating pipes). When the temperature fluctuates too much, mold can develop, which is of course not desirable! Also, stay away from detergent, as it can cause an unpleasant and unwanted taste.

Seal the opened bag properly

Okay, you now know that the best way to store the bag of dog food is in a sealed food container. However, don’t forget to also seal the bag properly.
