Dog food usually has a shelf life or expiration date on the packaging. You can check this information to determine whether the dog food has expired. If the dog food is past its use-by date or expiration date, it has expired. In addition to looking at the information on the package, you can also tell if your dog food has expired by observing its appearance, smell, and taste.
If the dog food has gone bad, its color may become darker or yellower, the smell may become unpleasant, and the taste may change. May become hard or sticky. Expired dog food may no longer be safe to eat, so it is recommended not to feed expired dog food to your dog. If you find that the dog food has expired, it is best to throw it away and buy new dog food.
