How do you keep opened dry dog food from getting stale? My dog eats a certain kind that only comes in 20lb bags. He only eats a cup a day.
I had learned that from reading about the VeRus dog food that I feed to my dogs. I used to keep it in a plastic container, but had heard that it is not the best thing to do. You need to make sure that is completely washed and completely dried or the or the oils from the food can get into the plastic and become rancid.
I secure the bag with 2 large chip clips, but I buy a 40 pound bag, so use whatever works to keep yours closed.
See article for storing VeRus dry dog food. Excellent food by the way
It is very important that you store VéRUS All Natural Pet Foods properly if using a plastic container!
Plastic absorbs oil. Oils from the food can leach into the plastic and become rancid, thereby contaminating the next batch of food. Oils turn rancid when exposed to heat, light and or air. The best method is to store VéRUS All Natural Pet Foods in its original bag.
If you just "dump a fresh bag" into your container when needed; the residual oil that settles on the bottom of the container can spoil. The bottom of the last bag is now beyond its shelf life, which is the date stamped on the bag. This spoiled oil may contaminate any fresh food added to the container, causing vomiting or diarrhea when fed to your pet.
So storing your food in a container instead of its original bag, is not the end of the world. Just be sure to wash the empty container with soap and very hot water. Allow the container to dry completely before adding food from a new bag. This guarantees that the new bag of food will stay fresh and your pet will stay healthy. After all, that’s why you’re buying VéRUS!

ADMAN Keep Fresh Bags
What are some rules of thumb with regard to food storage - in sofar as keeping it fresh?
Examples;
-tomatoes can stay outside (not in fridge)
-strawberries are fridged, but not in airtight container.
-all veggies and fruits should be in bags that are loose, not tied.
-How long can granola last, how should it be stored?
- can croissants be fridged, or for some reason is their quality compromised?
-can muffins be frozen?
-can plastic bag storage be as good as in tupperware?
-any favorite tupperware?
-best way to store breads?
& any thoughts on storage of any foods is appreciated as I manage a cafe & wonder about these things.
I love Ziplock bags - there is not brand as good - I use them for everything.
Yes, muffins can be frozen. Yes, plastic storage can be as good as Tupperware.
Well tomatoes will get mushy very quickly if you leave them outside the fridge.
Bananas and avacados - put in the fridge. Bananas will turn dark on their skins but that is okay because they will ripen too quickly outside.
I do not like to refirgerate bread - you can freeze it though
