Storage of Puppy Food: Cuiabá

Here in Central Western Brazil the climate can be quite unforgiving if you are a lad from the uplands of North Wales.  We live in a tropical environment. Though I am no stranger to foreign travel/living, the heat here is extreme, falling usually in the region of 35 to forty five celsius. With occasional cold fronts in  July when the temperature drops to 12 celsius. I have spent my whole life involved with animals, and such climatic extremes demand special precautions if our pets are to remain healthy and, indeed, thrive,

This blog includes a simple tip.  If you have a dog here in Cuiabá, you should keep its dog food in a sealable container.  This is because the food is perishable.

Dogs eat by using their sense of smell. If the dog food is not kept in a sealable container, it will lose its aroma.  What veterinary surgeons refer to as an organoleptic property.  Keep the food in a sealble container.  Take a week's quantity and seal that in a sealable ice cream tub.  Thus you have the dog's food ready for a week and you don't have to keep opening the main store.  And puppies should recive three to four meals a days.  They may digest a meal in four hours, with inter-breed and individual variations.  Good luck.
