There are two types of Pet food like dry pet food and wet pet food.

Dry pet food currently includes compound dry food and meat food.

Compound dry food is dietary fiber plus meat, and the protein content is not high. It can supplement the pets both carbohydrates and protein. Presently, the low-price dry pet food on the market is like this. The advantage of this method is that it is cheap, but the disadvantage is the hair of the pets will not be so shiny after eating it. And they will be protein deficient, especially cat owners. Cat owners particularly need protein. If they do not consume enough high-quality protein, they will lose their muscles. Extraction, especially like humans, when humans, when human lose weight and don’t eat, the brain will send out a life-saving signal and eat the protein in the muscles to maintain life. Therefore, losing weight is a scientific diet rather than not eating.

It is more suitable to use deoxidizer and desiccant for compound dry food. The carbohydrates need to be moisture-proof and absorb the moisture evaporated in the air. Moisture is also the cause of moldy products.

The second is meat grains, various meat grains, fish, beef, chicken, etc., all with air-drying, freeze-drying and other technologies. The core cost remains unchanged, Meat can also be called protein. The current price of pure meat grains will be on the high side. Most of them are used as snacks for the pets. They have not been able to enter the position of staple. There are also some wealthy pet owners who use meat as pets’ main meal. Pure meat food is costly. It goes without saying that pure meat food needs deoxidizers. Even if the manufacturer uses the most advanced freeze-drying technology and produces it in a dust-free workshop, it still can not escape the situation when consumers open the pet food package, it will be exposed to oxygen and bacteria. Put a sachet of deoxidizer inside with precious rations is effective and low-cost. 

At last, wet dry food is prepared for some pets who don’t like to drink water. This product basically doesn’t use deoxidizer, mainly use preservatives.

Oxygen absorbers for dry pet food inside the airtight containers can increase the food shelf-life up to three times. But how to store dry pet food?

1. The ingredients of pet food are actually the same as our human food, consisting of six major parts: protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and water. Its optimal storage temperature is 0-28 degrees Celsius, and relative humidity (RH)<60%. Various factors such as moisture, oxygen, temperature, and light will cause pet food to deteriorate faster. Excessive relative humidity will cause it to dissolve and become moldy. It will interact with oxygen, temperature, and light, and will also cause microbial growth (such as Alflatoxin), such expired pet food can cause damage to the pet’s kidney and liver function, causing acute renal failure and liver function damage.

2. Choose a high-quality grain storage barrel with good sealing performance to effectively prevent moisture and air from entering.

3. Divide the daily pet food into small bags, seal them and put them in the food storage barrel, and put a deoxidizer instead of a desiccant in the small bags. The deoxidizer here is mainly used to absorb oxygen in the small bags. Don not use a desiccant here. It will absorb the moisture of the feed in the packet and affect the feed quality.

4. Place pet food storage barrel in a cool, dry place.

By following the above steps, your pet food will look like it was freshly open even if you take it out half a year ago.
