Dog food is expired and cannot be eaten. Because once the dog food has passed the shelf life, it may become spoiled and lose nutrients. If the dog eats it, it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea and other symptoms. Therefore, when choosing dog food, we must pay attention to the shelf life of the outer packaging, and reasonably calculate the time for dogs to eat dog food. There is no need to store too much dog food at home, resulting in unnecessary waste.

How to judge the deterioration of dog food:

1. Touch by hand. If dog food is stored in a humid environment for a long time, it will easily become broken, and it will become soft due to absorbing too much water. You can feel the difference when you pick it up and pinch it.

2. Smell with your nose. Spoiled dog food smells bad, and you can smell the dog food giving off a sour or rancid smell.

3. See with your eyes. From the surface, it can be seen that there have been signs of mold on the dog food particles, and some green or white molds have appeared.
