Improperly stored pet foods can grow stale or draw insets. Here are
some ways to prevent these problems.
• Dry pet food will stay fresh for six to nine months when
stored in a cool dry place.
• To keep the food bug-free, it’s best to store your
pet food in airtight aluminum, glass, or heavy-duty plastic containers.
• Soft-moist pet foods will stay fresh for three to six months
if kept in their original packages with the top rolled tightly closed.
• Once canned pet food is opened, cover the unused portion
and refrigerate. Fido or Mittens will appreciate it if you let the
chilled food come to room temperature before serving the rest of the
can.
