Why Are There Moths and Larvae in My Pet's Food?


Why are There Moths and Larvae in My Pet's Food?
Indian Meal Moth



It's that time of the year when we start recieving calls about dog food appearing to have moths or larvae in it. Just like dry grains and flour products in people food, pet food can contain "meal moth" eggs that, in hot conditions hatch out. While these moths are considered harmless, we do not recommend storing pet food in places that are not climate controlled. This includes places like garages and storage sheds. 
For more information about storing your pet's food check our this link.
