| Small as possible I only have Wosie, and she is almost 7 months, doesn't eat more than a cup a day. I buy the smallest bags possible, either 5 or 10 pounds. Dry food does spoil, especially the good ones as they don't have a lot of preservatives. When I open a bag, I divide it into ziplocs and freeze what I am not currently using to keep it fresh. Otherwise, it starts to get smelly and she won't eat it. Don't blame her!

| Miffy's the only one here so I buy the smallest packet in the store. Also, to keep it fresh. Plus she's fussy so I don't buy a big bag in case she gets tired of it and I have to change food. |

| We buy the smallest size bag. I vacuum seal it with my food saver every time I open it and it stays fresh.

| I buy a big bag (I think around 20lbs) and pour it all in a sealed container. I use to buy the small bags but they would only last me about a week and a half, 2 weeks tops. Maybe my dogs are just little piggies
