25 Sep 09 Properly Storing Your Dog Food
A lot of people tend to underplay the importance of storing your dog’s food properly. Not storing dog food properly can lead to health hazards not only for your dog, but for you as well. The improper storage of dog food can lead to rodents taking over your house, or the unintentional contamination or spoiling of your dog’s food. That’s just bad for everyone involved. But by using a few simple and worthwhile techniques you can assure that you’ll never have a problem with your dog’s food.
Remember that even though dry dog food keeps for longer than moist food, it will still spoil if you don’t store the food properly. This means purchasing a big enough sealable container to store the dry food from the bag. Try to find containers with screw on tops, or rubber seal tops. Anything that will create an air tight seal to keep the food fresh and safe.
A lot of the time people neglect bags of dog food in their pantries and closets. This is bad because an open bag is not a good long term container. The dog food bag is not the most sturdy container, and can tear fairly easily, which can lead to food spilling out. This can attract all manner of bugs and rodents, and that’s not at all what you want in your house. If you store any household chemicals in the same closet, that could also be bad, as a dog food bag is very susceptible to liquid leaking through.
In addition to proper storage of your dry dog food, make sure to inspect the food each time before filling your dog’s bowl. Check to make sure that the food smells fresh, and looks okay visually. If the food seems clumpy, or is moldy or moist in any way, it’s best to play things safe and throw the food out. You don’t want to risk your dog’s healthy by feeding them food that may be spoiled.
