Tips to always keep fresh food for your dog

If we are often spoiled food our dogs and we do not know what to do to keep it cool, there are many useful tips. The first is to empty the contents of the package in a container. Just we keep in mind that the food of the dogs also has components that being in contact with the environment, deteriorate. 

Consider what would happen to our food, their owners. For example, some cookies packaged for too long.

Some interesting tips for our friend's food are fresh...

•                    It is important to acquire the amount of food needed for two weeks, one month long, but no more.

•                    The same we do with food intended for human members of our family, we have to check the expiration date of the food we buy for our pet.

•                    Once purchased, when to store, we retain the food the maximum time in the same package. Already open, we close them as best we can, to have no contact with the environment.

•                    If possible, post the package and opened and closed manually in a container that also has sealed, and in turn will this container in a cool, dry place, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

•                    It is essential to protect these products from sunlight, which could accelerate its degeneration.

•                    When to supply food, there are feeders that facilitate slower intake for the dog, reducing the risk of indigestion and obesity.

Buy excess food

It is known that the large feed sacks are cheaper than smaller, comparing the price per kilos. The important thing is that we know preserve food to avoid throwing it for having spoiled.

The first would calculate how long it will last the sack and look at the expiration date. For example, if the animal eats 300 grams per day and bought a bag of 15 kg, we think that will last 50 days and feed should not expire before that date.

If our canine friend has a too demanding palate, we must consider that the flavors and flavorings are fading from the time the bag is opened, therefore the last kilos are less appetizing than the former.

The store

As we have seen, it is essential to protect the feed in containers that keep you well insulated from moisture, oxygen, heat and direct sunlight. The best materials are metal or glass because they are very inert, but many plastic containers also they can be ideal.

Where they are housed should be dark and cool. Place the bag or the container above the ground is very positive for the preservation of its interior. It is also acceptable to put underneath a timber or a platform with legs that keep well isolated from soil moisture and adequate ventilation. Moisture promotes mold growth, which not only spoils the taste of food but can also cause very dangerous toxins for the health of our four - legged friend.

The wet food cans

As for the food moist, which we acquired in cans, usually, they have a very long life, as the can remains closed. Once opened, it must be consumed within three days maximum. In addition, we need to get the content and put it in a covered container in the refrigerator to prevent drying or take an unpleasant odor.

Snacks

The snacks are preserved properly as indicated on the package by manufacturers, respecting the storage conditions. Those who come in resalable bags do not need another type of container, but if they are in common nylon bags or boxes, we would recommend storing in containers with tight - fitting lid to keep its flavor and prevent drying in a few days.

The same happens with the rest of the dog food, the most important idea is to try not to accumulate too much product. It is always better and has more quality foods that we gain on the fly, as close as possible to their manufacturing and packaging.
