Refrigerate after opening. My cats prefer room temp. If coming from the fridge, nuke it for 5-8 seconds.

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.

My 2 cats eat about 1/2 can a day along with dry food, so I do use a plastic lid and store in the frig. They eat it room temperate or cold right out of the frig. I can say one of my cats had chronic diarrhea until I switched him to Wellness. It took about 2 weeks to clear up, but no problems since.

Refrigerate after you open it if you don't use it all. I have tried feeding it to them room temp and cold, they don't like it either way. Most cats don't like cold food though, mostly you want to let it warm up a bit to room temp before serving leftovers.

Warmish, Room temp---much better on digestion! Cold food has a high % of upsetting digestion, so please NEVER cold. Put remainder of food from can, in a glass bowl, cover and put in fridge. (This is quality real food--it will spoil!) Then take what you want out--very slightly microwave or sit at room temp. I ALWAYS add warm water--cats need more water, and Wellness is a high quality food; adding water doesn't ruin the taste. We have 8 cats (all rescues) so very experienced --lol- :) purrrs.....

I'm a longtime customer of Wellness wet catfood. It requires refrigeration after opening. I nuke the food for 10 seconds in the cat bowl then return unused portion in the can (covered w/plastic lid) to the refrigerator. My cat loves this brand. And loves it warm, not cold.

I put left over wet food into the fridge. My two cats don't mind eating it cold, but most times I put it into the microwave for 15 seconds. I do not leave wet food outside.

Not refrigerated is ok, and I have done this by leaving them in the pantry and taking a few out of the bag every now and then to munch on. After multiple purchases, I found that leaving the bag in the refrigerator and eating the coconut strip cold tastes better and has more of a solid texture. You will be amazed the coconut strips are good tasting to snack on.

I believe it should be stored in the fridge. That's where I keep mine. Tastes better cold.

It should be kept refrigerated. It's kept that way in stores, and most mail order retailers ship it cold. I would not order in summer, because they didn't cold package it.

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!

The only way would be not to put the ice pack in the bottom of the feeder, if you don't live in a warm climate it would probably be ok for a few hours. Or depending on how long the food will sit in there, time it so by the time your cat eats it the refrigerated food would return to room temperature. I try to keep the food cool, I'm afraid of food poisoning for the cat if the food sits out warm too long.

I refrigerate mine. Better to be safe than sorry. Just love this product, I take it to elevate my immune system and also give it to my dog. Hope this helps.

It doesn't need to be refrigerated but you would want to keep it away from humidity. To be honest, this didn't help my dog at all. Just my experience.

NO. It does not HAVE to be put in the fridge. You can and it will be super cold, but I find it works wonders without refrigeration. Honestly it was a little too cold for me after I put it in the fridge for a few hours. Nice to know I have the option, though.

No, it doesn't need to be refrigerated. However, I did put it on the top of the crate when my dog wasn't laying on it so air could circulate around it. I really don't know if it made a difference but it was always cool.

No it does not need to be refrigerated. If you notice, in grocery stores, they don't refrigerate them.

Think of it like peanut butter. It really doesn't need refrigeration and it is good as long as it does not taste bitter- in which case it is likely rancid.

It has to be refrigerated and I'm not sure how long the shelf life is cause it gets eaten too quickly!

It is very long and quite thick fabric. I don't see how a cat could eat it. You could always put the toy away when you aren't around if you are still concerned.

There is no indication that it should be and we have never refrigerated it. Have been using it for many years at the recommendation of our vet for our three dogs. Bought some made for cats, but the cat didn't like it.
