Good to know
- Weigh daily portions on kitchen scales. A scoop or measuring cup can be well off, and small errors add up over months.
- Keep kibble in its original bag inside an airtight bin, so you still have the batch number and best before date if there is a recall.
- Compare economy packs by price per kilo, but only buy a size your dog will finish while the opened bag still smells fresh.
Common questions
Is dry or wet food better for dogs?
Neither is better in itself: both can be complete and balanced. Dry food is cheaper per day, keeps longer once opened and is easy to use in puzzle toys. Wet food contains much more moisture and tends to appeal more to fussy or older dogs. Many owners feed a mix, reducing each portion so the total stays right.
How long does an opened bag of dry dog food last?
Once opened, kibble slowly loses freshness as the fats react with air. Keep the bag rolled tightly in an airtight container, away from heat and damp, and follow any guidance on the pack. If the food smells stale or rancid, or your dog suddenly loses interest, replace it.
