For any dog lover, seeing the wagging tail of your furry friend at the sight of a treat is pure
joy. At Friends and Canines, we know just how much your doggie pals adore our natural dog
treats.
However, with great treats come great responsibility! Storing your dog’s treats properly is
essential to maintain their freshness and keep those naughty, pinching pups from sneaking a
snack when you’re not looking.
Let’s look into why it’s crucial to store treats properly and explore some handy storage
solutions ideas to keep those treats tasting great!
Why Store Natural Dog Treats?
Importance of Freshness
Natural dog treats are crafted without preservatives, which means their freshness is key to
retaining their wholesome goodness and scrumptious taste. Proper storage ensures that the
treats maintain their texture and flavour, making treat time as delightful as it should be for
your furry friend.
Prevent Access by Cheeky Pooches
We all know doggies can be quite clever when it’s about finding those tasty morsels. Storing
treats properly isn’t just about keeping them fresh; it’s also about securing them away from
your clever canine. This not only helps in managing your pet’s diet but also prevents
overindulgence which can lead to health issues.
Choosing the Right Storage Solutions
Types of Containers
Glass Jars: Transparent, stylish, and easy to clean, glass jars allow you to see when
supplies are running low.
Metal Tins with Lids: These can add a rustic charm to your décor while being robust
enough to resist even the most curious noses.
Reusable Plastic Containers with Airtight Seals: Lightweight and practical, these
containers are ideal for maintaining the freshness of treats.
When selecting a container, consider the size and quantity of treats you typically buy, how
accessible the treats need to be for you (and not for your pup!), and the safety of the
materials used (ensuring they are chew-proof).

Cool and Dry Spots
The best places to store dog treats are cool, dry areas away from direct sunlight. Pantries,
kitchen cabinets and even laundry rooms can be ideal spots, provided they’re out of reach
of your eager hound!
Accessibility
While it’s important to keep treats out of your dog’s reach, they should be easily accessible
to you, especially during training sessions. Strategic placement can help integrate treat time
into training without any hassle.
Maintaining Treat Freshness
Seal Tips
Always ensure that the container’s seal is tight after each use. Airtight seals prevent air,
moisture, and contaminants from spoiling the treats.
Regular Checks
Make it a routine to check the treats for any signs of spoilage and to refill containers as
necessary. This not only helps in maintaining quality but also in keeping your pet’s health in
check.
Properly storing your natural dog treats ensures that every treat time is as enjoyable and
healthy as possible. It keeps the treats fresh, your pets healthy, and your home organised.
