PET FOOD STORAGE TIPS FOR OPTIMAL FRESHNESS
Keep your pet food in a cool, dry place. If left in a hot area or in direct sunlight, it can cause your bag of pet food to dry out and risk it becoming stale.
Any dry kibble pet food product is guaranteed fresh for up to a year after the production date or up to 18 months if properly stored away from heat and moisture. We recommend putting your pet food in a sealed container for best results. All Nature’s Select dry food bags have a “best by” date stamped on the sides. This is not an expiration date but rather the date we recommend feeding the recipe for best results and best taste for your pet.
If you prefer to keep the pet food in the bag it came in, you can either cut a small corner to easily pour it into the bowl and/or allow enough space to get your pet food scoop into the bag opening to get your desired amount of kibble out. When done, simply roll it down and place a heavy-duty clip on the bag to ensure freshness sealed inside.
Many of our customers over the years swear by either a pop-top container or a brand new trash can bin with a secure lid. They just put the bag of pet food in the bin, cut off the top, and place the lid on to keep everything fresh inside. Clear bins are helpful if you’re pouring the kibble inside as it’s helpful for you to see exactly how much you have left. Some even like to use a dry-erase marker of the date they poured the kibble into the bin so they know how long it’s been since opening a new bag.
We do not recommend keeping your pet food outside in the backyard or side yard, as this invites unwanted critters to get into the pet food. Raccoons, Opossums, and Skunks are smart creatures and have been known to love Nature's Select Pet Food! Most customers store their pet food in the garage without issue as long as the bag is kept away from heat, moisture, and is properly stored to your choosing.
Keep your pet food in a secure spot that pets and kids cannot easily get into when unsupervised.
