Question on canine caviar Does anyone know the shelf life on canine caviar I have a 5# little girl and she only gets a 1/4 cup per day I had to order the 12# bag. I will be putting in lock & lock which is air tight on the front of the bags show expiration date 11/2014 but am wondering once bag is open if this will change the quality of it if last me for 6 months. |
Mary Lou, I have heard that the expiration for any opened bag of dog food is 6 weeks but hopefully someone that knows more than I do will respond. I have been looking for a place that sells Cannine Caviar in the 4# bags but so far no success. I can only find 12# bags. Like you, mine only eat about 1 cup a day so a 12# bag lasts a long time. |
I always freeze part of the bag in plastic containers. |
jNever thought about freezing it. Someone told me not to take dog food out of the original bag for some reason that I can't remember now. That could be an Old Wives Tale. I know 4 # bags of CC are available somewhere, just don't know where. I sent a request to Chewy.com to see if they were going to start stocking 4# bags and they told me not at this time. |
You guys can try to contact the store I buy Peanut’s food- they always have the 4 pound bags, yes they are in California but that last time I called them to see how much it would be to ship out of state and they said 5-8$ which isn't bad.. 888-410-3339 They also have a website, you could probably get the shipping quote, however when I called the lady looked around and gave me the cheapest shipping quote.

Thank you so much |

I didn't know that the shelf life was 6 weeks. Good to know that. I have a Vittles Vault but it's soooo hard to open! I end up keeping a few days worth of food in a ziploc bag so I only have to open it occasionally. |

If you freeze it, cut the numbers off and tape them on one of the containers. Use that container last. :) I put mine in zip lock bags and tape the numbers on the bag, but I'm going to freeze the next bag in smaller containers. :thumbup: I love this idea!:thumbup: |
Yes, I do keep the info before I freeze it. |
We just purchased a second 12 lb. bag of puppy CC for Princess Sophie and she is 6 months old on 7/4. I figure when this bag is out we will move her to CC adult. Don't know what kind just yet. |
Those bags last FOREVER!!!!! I asked if they could get smaller bags in at the shop I go to, and they said no. :( I wish they would! |
I just ordered some CC for my guys- still waiting on it to come in but my two piggies go through two 5 pound bags in a little over a month :p If you open the bag but put it in an air tight container would it be the same expiration or no?? |
I read somewhere that the kibble should be stored in it's original bag (bc it's specially designed to prevent moisture?), in an air tight container, away from the sun & heat & be used up w/in 2-3 months. I have 4 mouths to feed, so a 12# bag is done in about 2 months...I transfer a week's worth into a container. Found this link about freezing kibble: Freezing Dry Dog Food |

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

I think if a dog would have atopic dermatitis, it would be from this: Canine Diseases Linked to Cereal Grains in Dog Food (Part 1) |
