Does this keep well? It looks to be too much for one cat to use up before it goes rancid. I do not see a smaller size.Does it need to be refrigerated?

I leave mine out and it does say on the bottle you CAN refrigerate but do not, no issues. I have been using this oil for about 2 years with no problems. I believe there are 3 sizes of bottles.

check with your vet on the amount you need to use , I use 4 squirts twice a day & with 2 BIG dogs I go thru it pretty quick , but Yes I keep mine in the refrigerator

My two Welsh Corgis get 3 squirts/day each and I keep mine refrigerated to be on the safe side. Have had no problem with it going rancid....

Yes, it does keep well. There is a "best by date" on the bottom of bottle. I do not refrigerate the product, and have never found it to go bad.

We keep it refrigerated after opening. Il lasts about 6 weeks before it's gone and it hasn't been a problem.

When I bought it I didn't realize how big it was. There's no way I could use all that so I gave a bunch away. And, yes, I keep it in the refrigerator.

With the container it comes in there is no problem keeping it. No refrigeratioin necessary. Don't know about sizes as I get the large one for 5 dogs and 9 cats.

It doesn't say to refrigerate but I do because of the fish oil in it. Once it is opened it will last a good two months in the refrigerator before it starts to go bad. I use it on my doberman foods and he loves it. I put on about four or five squirts a day. It's a great product... I have seen small amounts on the internet or go to the companies website. Good Luck

It doesn't need to be refrigerated after opening. I would imagine it would last a long time but I'm not the best to answer that part because mine is gone within a month! Actually, yes it does last. I have another flavor that I don't use as much and it's just fine.

Hi Teresa, You do not need to keep this refrigerated. We just recommend that you store it in a cool, dry place and away from heat. Thank you. Best, AJ

Since it is preserved meat it does not need refrigeration until opened. If it went rancid the stick was extremely old and/or a bad batch that needs to be sent back. I've kept a stick in my pantry nearly a year before opening and transferring the rest to the refrigerator. It was fine after a year.

I just ordered a case - same exact kind as before (which my cats loved). My older cat won't touch this new batch. - My kitten ate some of it and has had the 'runs' for two days. Does anyone know - will Amazon take the unopened cans back?

I hope I don't steer you wrong here, I leave mine on 24/7 at full blast. My cat is old & she needs constant heat. You might want to be carefull not to let the room it is in get too hot. My last one was the same model as this, when I shut the door to the small room I keep it in for more than four hours, it burned out. Good Luck Joe.

The product does become rancid if not used within a short timeframe, unless it is kept cold. During cold weather months, I keep mine in the garage in a large cooler. During hot weather, I keep it a closet near the air conditioning vent. I've never had any problem with it getting rancid over several months usage.

That isn't really a problem if you set the timer ahead a bit so that the food gets warmer. The ice pack doesn't do much other than slightly chill the food. Not like a fridge. My girl is fussy too. I'd give you mine : ) because it turns out that this cat cannot be left on her own. She's like a dog!

I keep it refrigerated once I open the bottle . I would suggest that any oil that does not have preservatives in it , it would be best to use it in no more than 6 months . Any oil without preservatives will become rancid over time .

Been taking it for years and I never refrigerate it. Always kept em in a pantry... Never turned rancid :)

If you mean an open can...I always refrigerate and then warm it in the microwave, so I don't know if a cat would eat it cold. I think most cats prefer room temp.

That is really a good question I hadn't thought of. I couldn't say the answer and agree that Purina is best equipped to answer the question. Give them a call. I never kept it refrigerated and my home isn't air conditioned and it still seemed to work well for my dog. Good luck!

I've had mine for a few months and have not refrigerated it. But, I guess it depends on how hot it will get in your house. Any cream/lotion/oil will turn rancid after awhile, but, you probably won't have it that long...lol. I used mine everyday, during the cooler months. Now that it is getting more humid here (AR) I have not used it much. It is still fine, though. I would say if you are worried about it turning rancid on you, then put it in the fridge. Make sure your face and hands are clean before you use the cream so that transfer of your skin oils don't contaminate the jar, as you would for any jar of cream, and you should be fine. Sure hope this helps. I am not an expert, just trying to help. I've had mine for a few months and have not refrigerated it. But, I guess it depends on how hot it will get in your house.

My cat does the same thing....and actually isnt crazy about 9 lives either....she prefers Friskies always but will tolerate 9 lives at small short intervals. This was all Pate except for one flavor which was filets pieces (chunks)...but if you have to give your cat shredded or chunks...just do it in very small servings. Then she will probably keep it down. That way you dont have to throw it away, but hurry back to her favorite kind soon. Hope this helped.....

I have 2 cats, only one has a problem. I mix it in the bowl they both eat out of. The vet said it was good for them, whether they were having a problem or not.
