Shelf Life: When kept frozen, the meals can last up to 5 years. It’s crucial to ensure your freezer is functioning correctly and maintains a constant temperature of 0°F (-18°C) or lower to achieve this shelf life.

Thawing Time: When you’re ready to feed your dog, plan ahead. A meal needs 12-24 hours to thaw completely. The best method is to transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator to thaw safely and gradually. This slow thawing process helps preserve the meal’s quality.

1. Refrigeration: Once the meal is unfrozen, keep it in the refrigerator. This step is important to slow down the growth of bacteria and maintain the food’s safety and quality.
2. Serving: To serve the meal, measure out the appropriate portion for your dog. The portion size varies depending on your pet’s size and activity level. Warm the portion in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, adjusting based on your microwave’s power, or until the meal is warm. Ensure the food is not too hot before serving to avoid burning your pet’s mouth.
3. Alternative Serving Method: If your dog prefers cold food or is on a raw diet, you can serve the meal cold directly from the refrigerator.

Consumption Timeline: It’s essential to use the thawed dog food within 5 days to ensure it remains fresh. After thawing, the countdown begins, so plan your pet’s meals accordingly to avoid waste and ensure they are eating fresh food.
