How long can this last without refrigerator? I want to leave 2 servings at different places during my travels so my puppy wont go hungry for 8 hours

I'm sure it would be fine. Sometimes my dog doesn't eat and he leaves it for later. I would not leave for much more than the 8 hours, though, especially if the weather is really warm.

Because of the chicken based content I would not trust it. You may be better off just picking up some of those small single serving dog food containers that have just enough for a single serving of a small dog; larger dog? give them two, etc.

I cannot answer the question without seeing the bag. I empty the bag into a plastic bin that has a seal on it and remove what I feed her for each meal. If you feed your dog the food consistently, it should not go bad!

It takes my little Shih Tzu about 4 days to finish a can. When I open the can I scoop all of the food into a plastic Tupperware container with a tight fitting lid and keep it in the fridge. I've never had any issues with it going bad and she has no problem eating ever.

I don't freeze, just refrigerate after opening. I supplement my 70lb retriever's diet of dry kibble and boiled chicken quarters with Red Barn beef roll, which I pre-cut into 6 portions. One 4-lb roll last six feedings or six days. I keep it fresh in a bread bag sealed with a twist tie.

Hi Ethan, I always keeps mind in the refrigerator. I live in the desert and with the heat I don't like to test it if I leave it out. I drink it within a couple of weeks, so don't worry about shelf life. It's a great product and wouldn't do without it. Hope this helps....Jean

Just basically my husband and myself and we've had several meals out of it and our puppies enjoyed some broth. The small one would probably be enough unless you plan on entertaining or packing up the freezer. Enjoy it! I think we will be using it quite often.

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!

Only if you put a new one in each time you opened it. I can see where it may be benficial to put pet food in many jars (because with the uncertainties in our nation right now, we are 3 days from empty shelves at the grocery store) with an oxygen absorber in each one. This way you could maintain long-term emergency food for the animals as well as yourself. To all who read this, PLEASE have at least a year's food and water stored.

Yes, you can leave your dogs in the drawer for a little while if you know that you will or may possibly eat more. I usually wait awhile because you need to let it cool down before emptying the water and putting away. Also, I would recommend using bottled water so as not to expose the heating sensor to a build up of chemicals...like build up in coffee pots.....We love our machine!!! This makes a great present too.

It does not need to be refrigerated. So for example if you are traveling with it, it's okay to keep it out. But if you are just going to keep it at home, it's a good idea to keep it in the fridge.

Just start mixing the food little by little every day until your puppy's stomach is used to the new food. I had to do the same with my Dane. It should only take a few days, maybe a week. Depending on how sensitive your little one is.

kind of depends on your dog, I've had some that my dog devoured in an hour and others that lasted days. If your dog is a heavy chewer, I'd suggest taking it away after about 20 to 30 min. put it in a sealed bag, give it to him/her at another time. The last one I gave my dog, he swallowed large pieces of it and then hacked them up on the floor the next day! I won't buy them anymore, plus they are crazy expensive, bully sticks are cheaper.

I gave it to my dog for about 2 months and she seemed to be a little better but now I am not giving it her she has reverted back to eating poop. It seems to be a habit that is hard to break the vet told me to put meat tenderizer in her meals but I don't think that worked either. Someone told me not to pick up and put hot chili sauce on it and when they go to eat it it taste bad and that sometimes helps. We pick up all the time but if there is one lot out there she finds it, we tell her off but she still does it. I am told it is a natural thing but I have never had a dog that did it before, so very frustrating. Sorry I haven't been much help but that's my experience.

Our dogs eat it so fast we usually have to reorder about every 3 weeks. It's a dried powder so I would guess it would last for months. Maybe check honest kitchens website.

According to the box, they recommend splitting the daily food into two servings, or 2-4 cups DRY per day with 3-6 cups of water. According to the box, this means one 10 lb box will last 10-20 days. My dog is around 60 pounds and also active (5 years old) and should get a little more than your dog. I can't afford those kind of prices, so I halve the amount of Honest Kitchen Force and supplement with Blue Buffalo Wilderness. So I get 1.5 months out of a box, and more than that from the Blue Buffalo Bag (40 lb.). Note that I have found Force available $5 cheaper at a local store than on the internet.

If U R asking Can U take it with U while traveling. It depends on the weather, how cold or hot. I keep it in a cool place such as in a motel room with air conditioning as opposed 2 in a hot car. Don't know how long it survives if no refrigeration over several days. We like this product b/c it has 12 strains in it & take 1 morning & night each day.

Two years at room temp (it will darken) at least, indefinitely in the fridge. The paste is quite acidic so it isnt prone to spoilage.
