What to do with 50 pounds of kibble?

[Flatcoatluver]

A lot of kibbles are more grain than meat. It depends somewhat on species, but I know most ducks eat insects, small fish and even amphibians too as well as seeds/roots etc.

even grain/bread are bad for ducks. Yes my ducks eat insects all time, there favorite thing to do when the ground is wet.

Actually I can somewhat understand why a shelter wouldn't want to take open bags of food if they don't know you, unfortunately there are some sick people out there, and honestly they don't know what someone may have done to an open bag. I've never heard of that kind of food.....maybe a neighbor or friend or someone you know may be able to use it? I'm not real familiar with Mainstay but I think it's a pretty good brand, isn't it? I could be wrong though. Why did you switch? Just out of curiosity.

Well, I was switching to raw, but I wanted to use up this food (paws) that we got 3 free bags of so I had been giving her half raw and half of the kibble. She will be on raw for now unless she doesn't improve on raw. It could be the raw that's making her sick, but I doubt that. The mainstay is what we'd be going back to if the raw doesn't seem to be doing her any good, but I'm sure that being on all raw will get her back to health quickly.

Oh ok, I understand

County Animal Shelters aren't usually picky, try there. I bring stuff to ours all the time.

You've gotten some good ideas. I skimmed through them so forgive me if I missed something but how about a foster organization? They may be willing to take it.

I'm going to bring it to the Neenah shelter this weekend. They feed their dogs anything they can find.

I am glad you found a use for all that food. It would be such a waste to have to throw it all away.
