Never buy bags of dry food that will last for more than 6 weeks. Smaller bags are always better. This may mean buying more bags or freezing some of the dry food.  Once you open the bag of dry food oxygen, humidity and light become the spoilers of your pet’s food. Always keep the food in the original bag and either roll the top down and clip the bag shut or you can place the bag in an air tight container.
