Include packaging information in storage order
AVMA recommends keeping dry food in its original bag in a clean, special, airtight container if possible. If the bag is not used, the product name, production and expiration information and batch number should be kept. The food should be kept in a cool and dry place; The food bowl, water bowl and feeding equipment should be cleaned regularly. Also read the product's own storage instructions.
Establish an order that everyone at home will understand
For example, you can keep the information part of the package in a separate file next to the container. When the new package arrives, do not confuse which product the previous one belongs to. If there are different animals or different foods at home, it would be clearer to mark the containers with names instead of separating them only by color. For people sharing the feed, write down which product to use; Do not change the amount you have determined with your own veterinarian.
Follow shopping and consumption on the same note
You can simply record the date the package was opened and approximately when you will need a new one. This way, you reduce the possibility of unnecessary stocking of the same product or having to switch to another food at the last minute. Instead of placing the container in front of a sunny window or in a humid area, choose a place that complies with the label conditions. If you are unsure of the storage condition, ask the manufacturer of the product or your veterinarian.
