    Some tips I learned about pet food storage...

    -Keep dry pet food in the ORIGINAL BAG if at all possible.
    -The bag can then be put inside something plastic, but transferring food from the original bags to plastic bins has been proven to negatively affect palatability.
    -In addition, food in plastic containers oxidizes faster and therefore degrades more quickly (e.g. loss of polyunsaturated fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins).

    (This information comes from a DVM boarded in veterinary internal medicine that knows more about the inner workings of the pet food industry than anyone I know.)


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!

    Very interesting info! Thanks... I think I'll stick with leaving the food in the bag now.
    You're the one sure thing I've found so you better stick around...
