Found this link about freezing kibble: Freezing Dry Dog Food
That article was interesting! This part is really intriguing: "Freezing dry dog food for 3-7 days will also kill storage mites and most other insects. If your dog is allergic to storage mites (and over 90% of dogs with atopic dermatitis are), the mite carcasses and droppings will still present a problem, but freezing can prevent a few mites from turning into a full-blown infestation."

I'd be interested to see how many owners of YT pups affected by atopic dermatitis buy in bulk.
