To keep our treats fresh and safe, store them in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight. All treats come in resealable, food-safe kraft pouches designed to maintain shelf life and prevent moisture buildup.

✅ Check regularly for freshness. While our treats are dehydrated for shelf stability (60–90 days), always inspect for signs of spoilage such as mold, odor, or discoloration.

📦 Pro tip: For long-term storage, you can freeze our treats for up to 6 months. Just thaw to room temperature before serving.

Following these simple steps ensures your dog’s favorite treats stay safe, crunchy, and full of flavor — right to the last bite.
