Dry pet food is a convenient and healthy alternative to common food. Thrifty owners try to buy more packaging - after all, large packaging will cost less. But the question arises - how to store the food purchased for future use so that it does not lose its useful qualities?
It is necessary
- - containers and cans for storing feed;
- - containers for bulk products;
- - garbage bags.
Instructions
Step 1
If you bought several small packages, do not open a new one until the previous one has finished. You should not offer your pet a fish platter for breakfast and meat pellets for dinner. The animal does not need such a variety and calmly eats the same clod for several days in a row. Unopened packages are stored for a long time and do not lose their properties.
Step 2
Choose a package with plastic clips - after unsealing, it closes tightly and is conveniently stored. The clasp is reusable, it lasts for the entire life of the bag.
Step 3
Look at your pet store for a convenient container for storing food. These can be soft containers with a zip fastener, cans with tight-fitting lids, or plastic bags with clips. They are not particularly expensive, but they look beautiful and protect food from damage, dust and unauthorized entry of the pet.
Step 4
Do not store pellets in open containers. They dry out and lose their attractive aroma and nutrients. In addition, the specific smell of food will spread throughout the room. Do not be surprised if the animals refuse to eat food that has stood for a long time in the open air - it is not of interest to them.
Step 5
Try pouring food into food containers. You can purchase a whole set of cans that will fit well into the interior of the kitchen. This option is especially convenient for owners of several animals, each of which has its own diet. A large jar can hold dog food, a medium jar can hold food for an adult cat, and a small jar can hold kitten pellets. Place the jars on a separate shelf, label them, and place a measuring spoon next to them to dispense portions.
Step 6
If you bought a large bag of food in reserve, place some of it in a container or jar. Roll the opened bag tightly, blocking the air flow. Place it in a trash bag, tie it up, and store it in your closet or closet. Store stocks in a dark and dry place - excessive moisture can cause mold to form on the pellets.
