Common dog food storage mistake that could be making your pet ill
Dog food storage mistakes can make your pet seriously ill. Canine expert Rachel Fusaro shares regular dog tips on her TikTok page, including how to store your pet's food properly. In one video, she explains that the size of the container matters and advises: "Bag size matters. Only get a size big enough that you can feed the entire bag within 30 days or less This is to avoid fat rancidity, mould - remember oxidation happens once the bag is open."
She also reminds viewers to secure the bag and not to pour the food out into a container, saying: "Don't forget the bag clip and remember that the original packaging was designed to preserve the nutrients in the food, so we never want to pour it out into something else." Lastly, she recommends using durable/stainless steel storage containers over plastic ones for safety reasons.
