Pet Food Storage Checklist | Best Pet Food, Supplies & Accessories

Before you begin

Walk through the food storage area with the actual package and container in front of you. The goal is to find simple weak points: lost lot codes, damp storage, dirty scoops, old residue or stock that is harder to rotate than expected.

I can still identify the product, lot/batch and best-by information.The food is stored according to the manufacturer’s instructions.The storage location is protected from moisture, pests and excessive heat.Food-contact containers and scoops are clean and dry.New food is not endlessly topped onto old crumbs and residue.Opened refrigerated products are dated/managed so they are used or discarded appropriately.Pet food is separated from household chemicals and contaminants.I am not storing much more food than the household can realistically use.
