How to store dog food dog food storage taboos and considerations airtight pet food storage containers here are some of the better choices: absolutely impermeable plastic preservation containers, metal pet feed storage buckets (dog food and snacks are suitable), glass containers. Glass and metal are very effective oxygen and moisture isolation substances. They are also more aesthetically pleasing! Store in a cool, dry place, such as a kitchen cabinet. Please be careful when storing dog food in the refrigerator. Refrigerators can add moisture to dry food, so if you are storing in the refrigerator please use a special kitchen vacuum packer to prevent the feed from coming into contact with moisture. If you don’t have a vacuum packer, store small portions in zip-lock bags or small airtight food containers and only put enough to last your dog a few days at a time. Avoid buying large quantities of unopened dry dog food at one time unless you absolutely have to. If you do purchase large quantities of dog food (e.g., to save money), be sure to store it in an airtight pet food storage container. Unopened dry dog food can be stored for 4 months to 3 years (depending on the pet food manufacturer, brand, recipe, and whether artificial or natural preservatives are used).
