How long can I keep dog food in an air tight container?

I have an 18 lb dog, I bought a 40 lb bag of Costco’s Kirkland Premium Dog food and stored the food in an airtight food contrainer. It is going to take him about 3 months to eat all of that food. How long will the food stay good?
The expiration date is 3/2010

How long should an English Mastiff eat puppy food?

My vet told me to feed her puppy food till she was a year old, but a dog trainer recently told me that you should stop feeding giant breeds puppy food at 2 months old.
I’m currently feeding Eukanuba large breed puppy. But after a little research online last night, I discovered that it’s not as good a brand as I thought. Any thoughts on a better brand?

What is the human equivalent to dog food or cat food?

I find it remarkable that a dog or a cat can live a long healthy life by eating only one thing their whole lives. My cats eat nothing but Purina Indoor Formula dry cat food. They’ve been doing it for years, and they seem healthy and happy. Apparently, this one food has everything they need.

Why isn’t there something like that for people–an all purpose food? It seems like it would be the perfect thing for college students and other people who live in financial dire straights because you could make it really cheap. Maybe you could even have it in different flavors for the sake of variety.

What is the best organic dog food brand that doesn't contain preservatives?

I don’t want to be feeding my 2 month old Papillon with dog food that has preservatives in it. I’ve read and heard that more and more people are switching to organic foods without preservatives in them, and that the preservatives are being replaced by Vitamine E.

Where can I get some of this dog food, and what brands are the best? Are there specific sites online that you can order the dog food from?

When do I stop giving my dog puppy food?

My dachshund just turned 2 in April. He still eats puppy food. I was wondering when I should start giving him adult food? Also, does anyone have any suggestions on behavior training. He is very hyper and very bad whenever I have company. Even though he is so bad, I love him and want him to be happy.

How to stop my dog from being food aggressive?

My 7 month old lab puppy is a little food aggresive, but it’s not nessecarily her dog food, but any bone she really enjoys. Like, if you go to take it from her she’ll either go off into her kennel, or bark, sometimes she snaps, but she doesn’t bite, fortunately. I’m sure it’s still food aggression though. Do you have any ideas on how to make her stop this behavior, since we have a lot of young relatives and it doesn’t seem safe, still. My younger brother is terrified when she barks at him.
