I keep mine in the refrigerator, but it says to use by 90 days; no way a 4 pound dog can use all of that in 90 days! I am going to buy a new bag this weekend, and I will be glad to send FREE part of the bag to someone that lives near me in Florida. I don't mind buying it, but I hate to waste it. I also have a couple of different shampoos and conditioners that I don't use. They are products I saw advertised on here, but they just didn't work as well on sawyer; you know how we try everything we read about lol. What is a miracle on one puppy is just so so on another. I would love to let someone try them on their babies ( free of course) Pm me if you are interested
