Protect Your Pet’s Food Bowl

Summertime is in full swing and so are all those pesky critters! Ants and raccoons and beyond love pet food kibble. Make sure you avoid those guys getting into your pet’s food supply by keeping these helpful storage tips in mind this summer.

HOW TO STORE YOUR PET FOOD

1 - 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.

2 - 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.

3 - 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.

4 - 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!​

5 - Keep your pet food in a secure spot that pets and kids cannot easily get into when unsupervised.
