WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW COULD BE HARMING YOUR PETS 🐶🐱‼️

When you pick up a bag of dog or cat food from a retail store, it’s impossible to know the history behind the product you’re holding

🐾You don’t know how long it’s been on the shelf, or how long it lingered in the storeroom before being placed on the shelf.

🐾You don’t know how long it was stowed in a shipping container, subjected to temperature extremes.

🐾You don’t know how long it was stockpiled in a distribution center prior to shipping.

In fact, many mass-produced dog & cat foods are stashed away in tractor trailers without any form of climate-control for weeks, even months. And, you have no idea if proper handling of bags and pest-control are priorities for the packaging centers and warehouses where the product is bagged and stored.

✅Why does it matter that you can’t know the history of the retail product?

As you might correctly guess, the way dog & cat food is stored can directly affect its nutritional value and safety. The bottom line is, just because it’s store-bought doesn’t mean it’s fresh.
