What is the shelf life of this food?

Good shelf life. Once opened, keep refrigerated and use up the contents within 3 days for freshest meal. Otherwise, store in a plastic baggie and freeze it short term. My dog took to this dog food (I mix 2tblspns with drymix) very well. Bowel movements are good/firm-normal.

we can finish 12 cans in a matter of 3 to 4 weeks. I now buy 2 at a time so I do not have to keep reordering. any time past these I cannot vouch for.

I do not know. I purchase about a month's supply at a time and have not had a problem. You may to ask Natural Balance.

Been using this food for 7 years from retail and amazon and on all the cans I have purchased the expiration date is usually no less than 2 year from my purchase date and in most cases 3 years. So shelf life would be minimum of 2 years.

Usually three years out is marked as the "best by" date on the can but it never lasts more than two weeks at our house.

My recent shipment shows a "best used by" date of 4/2016. Also, my new shipment does not have a single damaged can! The cases were packed differently, so my assumption is that my prior negative review was taken seriously.

The last canned food order I put in had shelf life until March 2016. My dogs eat the dry food within a month to 6 weeks and it is fine if I keep bag closed.

There is a best if used by date on the bottom of every can. Not sure how you can determine the date before buying online but I'm sure if it arrives with an expired date you can return it. I've never had a problem with the date on the can even being close to expiration.

It doesn't say the actual shelf life on the package but based on the way it's processed I'm sure it can go 3-6 months. I rotate a box through every couple months so I always have it on hand.

I'm sorry I do not know the shelf life. But I don't recommend it as its fairly tasteless.

Once opened the shelf life is six months to a year. You don't have to refrigerate after opening.

I purchased a large quantity of this item last April 2012 and there is no expiration date. I would guess the shelf life lasts for years in sealed packets.

The shelf life is about a year, but I stick the extra bags in the freezer and extend the life of it. Believe me you will not have too much have it too long.

I purchased mine about 6 months ago. Package says use by 9/2015 so I guess that was about 2 years shelf life. As others have stated these last much longer.

Hi, Shelf life is 6 months to 1 year depending on the region you live in. High humidity 8 months, low 1 year. Thanks, Joe

I've read that if stored in the refrigerator it can last around 2 years past the use by date and if you store it in the freezer I think its suppose to be 3 to 4 years.

It's supposed to last 6 mos in a cool dry pantry or up to a year in the freezer. I haven't been using it long enough to know if this is true.

There is no known shelf life for this product. It should last indefinitely.

I looked on my can and there isn't one no shelf life is mentioned either! But my guess is unopened 20yrs Because the eggs are powdered and pasteurized. I haven't done a taste test yet and I live in Florida so it's part of my hurricane emergency food supply. I hope this helped.

I have it in my cupboard. It should keep for 2+ years that way, but one can put it in the freezer too. You can store in a glass jar or leave in the resealable bag it comes in.
