I used to keep dry food in the bag but that was when he was on a food with a resealable bag, lol. Now I have been putting it in a 5lb sealed container and throwing the bag away since it doesn't close by itself.
Just wondering what you all did with your dog food.  |
I also transfer mine into a sealable container. The only thing I don't like is that it is plastic. I really should leave it in the bag and then put it in the container. I started that way but then I buy another bag and am not done with the other yet so, I wound up just pouring it all into the plastic container.
One company in particular said all of their testing on staying fresh was done leaving it in their bags which had a foil interior. They suggested leaving it in the bag to ensure you had fresh by the date on the bag.
I am buying mid-sized bags now to ensure they eat it all quickly so it won't get stale. So, I figure it will be okay in the plastic container and not absorb too many of those pesky plastic chemicals. But if you buy in any huge quantity where they will stay in the container too long.... might be better to leave in the bag with a big clip to seal it.
I guess what I am saying is -- best to leave in the bag, but I doubt it will hurt transferring to a plastic sealable container the way we do.
