How to store KEATS Gourmet food
How should I store KEATS Gourmet Pet Food when it arrives?
Since our food is made fresh and we donʼt use any preservatives, itʼs essential that you treat it like real food. When you open the box, take a few packs out and put them in the fridge; store the rest in the freezer. Keep the food at a safe temperature until you’re ready to use it.
Where do you source your ingredients?
We partner with trusted suppliers to bring fresh meats, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains into every recipe. Whenever possible, ingredients are sourced locally or from regenerative farms to ensure quality and sustainability.
Can I customize my pet’s meal plan?
Yes! We offer customizable meal plans so you can build meals tailored to your pet’s preferences, sensitivities, and nutritional needs.
How to defrost KEATS Gourmet Food
To defrost KEATS Gourmet Pet Food, just remove it from the freezer and put it into the refrigerator 12 hours before you want to feed it to your dog. Once thawed, the packs should keep safely in the fridge for up to four days.
To thaw the food more quickly in a pinch, you can run packs under cold water in your sink. However, please know that we prefer and recommend the refrigerator-defrosting method.
If your dog isn’t eating the food and it has been out of the fridge for 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F), we recommend following USDA guidelines and tossing it out to be as safe as possible—the same way you would with fresh food for yourself and your human family members. Don’t put the food back in the refrigerator—once it’s been out that long, re-cooling won’t make it safe again.
