Additionally, it also improves bone and muscle function in older pets, and is even used as supportive medicine along with traditional treatments for dogs and cats periodontal disease.

The dry food has a shelf life of 18 months after the date of production, that is when the expiration date printed on the bag would be. However, it may be good for up to 6 months after the expiration date if stored properly. We do not guarantee any products past their expiration dates.

How long does canned food last in the refrigerator once opened?
If a canned food product is not consumed the same day, the leftover food should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and can last up to 3 days.
Can I freeze any of your products to prolong freshness?
While it's ok to put our products in the refrigerator, especially in hot climates, Health Extension does not recommend freezing kibble since there are probiotics sprayed onto the food after cooking and the nutritional values of the product cannot be guaranteed upon defrosting. Also, freezing canned products, treats or toppers is not recommended, since the nutritional values of the product cannot be guaranteed upon defrosting as well. These items are not designed to withstand the low temperatures of a freezer.
