10 lb bags of Royal Canin Now that I have switched Cookie from Royal Cabin 29 puppy to Royal Cabin 28 adult, I can get 10 lb bags instead of the 2.5 lb ones for about half the price per cup of food. I imagine the 10 lb bag is great for people with more than one yorkie, but with only one yorkie to feed is it still a good buy? Will it generally stay fresh long enough to finish the bag when fed at a rate of about 1/2 a cup per day? Thanks! |
I forgot to mention that we have a pretty humid climate in South Texas, which I'm guessing can't help. Anyone have experience using the 10 lb bags, especially in Gulf Coast states with high humidity? |
I bought a 10 lb bag of it one time when i had one dog and it lasted for about 3-4 months. What I did was pull a bit of it out and put it in a Tupperware container to feed and then I kept the rest sealed up until I finished what was in the Tupperware container. |

I keep puppy and cat food in air tight containers. I don't purchase 10 lbs bag though, not yet. Maybe invest in a larger air tight storage bin? I also store the food in the pantry to keep it away from the sun. Just make sure to keep it in a dark, cool, and dry area. |
I buy the big bag too, even when I had just one dog. I've never had a problem with staleness, the bags are great, foil and plastic coated. Just be sure and squeeze any excess air out of the bag before you seal it. I prefer clipping it to using their "zipper". I think I can get more air out of the bag. The problem with having any excess air in the bag or any type of container is the air has moisture and that's what causes the product to go stale. You don't have to worry about it spoiling, it might lose some flavor, but your dog will definitely let you know if it does. I think it smells just as good at the end of the bag as it does when I open it. Lol, I really like the way the food smells, sometimes I'm tempted to take some. :p |

I just brought home a 15 lb. bag yesterday & I immediately seal about 3/4s of it in plastic containers & freeze them. I've been doing this for years & it works great. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this? |
All of the above mentioned ways to preserve the food are super ideas! And RC comes in a sealable bag, so it staying fresh should not be an issue! |
Royal Canin really doesnt seem to be that great of a dog food. only a 3 star rating, but is expensive. I feed mine Wellness Core. about the same price, but 5 star quality. But as for keeping it fresh. I agree with the above. Royal Canin Mini Adult Dog Food | Review and Rating Wellness Core Dog Food | Review and Rating |
