fabel Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Someone kindly gave me a bag of dog kibble, their dog died and they forgot they had it. 20 kilos. It has been opened for a few years apparently, but was closed up with staples. Still most of it left. But I am not sure if we should use it or not. I have looked closely and can't find a use by date. Should I use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajirin Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Personally, I'd chuck it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivory & Beau Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Most brands have about 18 months from date of manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Anything that lasts a few years can't be good for you, mean your dogs :laugh: yuk throw it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Dog food generally has a best before date of 12 months after manufacture. It may well be fine after this date however the BBD is the date until which a manufacturer will stand behind the nutrient claims it makes about the product i.e. after 12 months the nutritional qualities may start to degrade.

Sandra777 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 It's meant to be food - how can it possibly be nutrious and healthy if it is a few years old. Ditch it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disintegratus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) If yours are like mine, i'd feed it out in treat balls etc, ie as an extra rather than as a staple. That said, mine would probably eat rocks if they looked like they'd been within 10km of food at any point! Mine eat a lot worse than nutritionally devoid "food" every time they get the opportunity!

persephone Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 it will not be 'good' anymore - any oils will be rancid ..and nutrients depleted/gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-o Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 100% throw it in the bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavNrott Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Please throw it out and don't even consider feeding it to your dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Chuck it out...would have lost all its nutrients/ goodness anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
