Let's take an adult cat of 6kg, the cat food required for an adult cat is 80g a day, then the cat food required for a month is 30*80g. So an adult cat needs 2400g of cat food per month, which we calculate as 2.5kg. Pet store sells cat food in 1kg bags or 5kg bags. After we pour the cat food needed for a month into the pet feeder supply, there will be 0.5 kg or 2.5 kg left over. How do we store this remaining cat food?
Why do we need to store the remaining cat food?
Unopened cat food generally has a shelf life of 12 to 18 months. Opened cat food has a shelf life of 1 to 2 months. If cat food is not stored in a sealed container, it will be exposed to moisture in the air, which will lead to nutritional loss of cat food. The fatty acids in cat food are prone to oxidation and the proteins are prone to deterioration. The vitamins and minerals in cat food will also decrease with time. Cat food will lose its original nutritional value. The flavor of cat food is lost and cats will not like it. In serious cases, it can also damage the cat's health.
How to store the remaining cat food?
1. After weighing the cat food for cats need, we have to quickly pour it into the pet feeder supply. Then quickly close the top lid of the pet feeder food storage bucket. The remaining cat food we can use the storage bucket and sealed bags to store. Pet store has special cat food storage buckets. It is recommended to choose a special storage bucket with a seal. At the same time, we can put some desiccant in the storage bucket. This will ensure that the cat food will not be oxidized. The cat food will not be moldy because of too much moisture. The storage bucket is convenient for the pet owner to access the cat food. Cat food storage buckets are best placed in a ventilated and dry place. Avoid exposure to sunlight, which accelerates the degradation and deterioration of cat food. The same operation is done with sealed bags.
2. Pour all the cat food into the auto cat food dispenser, which is the easiest way to store cat food. This requires your auto cat food dispenser to have a large storage bucket. We can choose a 5L capacity pet feeder. This will hold the entire cat food. The pet feeder's food storage bucket and the main body are designed separately. The food storage bucket has a double seal design. The food storage bucket is covered with a silicone seal. Can eliminate the cat food and air contact.
