Simple pet food storage habits for keeping dry food, wet food and feeding tools organised and protected.

Good storage helps protect pet food from moisture, pests, contamination and accidental overfeeding.

Keep dry food in a cool, dry place

Follow the manufacturer's storage instructions and keep the original label or packaging information available for lot numbers and feeding guidance.

Close opened bags securely

If transferring food to a container, clean and dry the container before refilling it and avoid mixing old crumbs with a new bag.

Refrigerate opened wet food when required

Follow the product label for refrigeration and discard times. Do not leave wet food sitting out longer than recommended.

Use a consistent scoop

A dedicated scoop can make portioning more consistent and keep hands out of the food container.
