For how long can cat food be refrigerated?

Marquitta

I use adult Iams chicken canned cat food. Its actually not for a cat but is used as a part of my lizards diet. Ive rapped it in foil paper, but how long can it be refrigerated before it spoils?



Stuart

2 days is a good time frame. The same as human meats.



Deloise

Maybe a week, but that might be pushing it.

First of all, take it out of the can once you open it. If you know its going to take several days to use it all, portion it out into whatever sized meals you intend to serve, then wrap them in cling film and freeze them - you can thaw it out fairly quickly, and it wont spoil.

If you look at it, it starts to get kindy funky after 2 days. Me, personally, I use to throw out food for my cat that was in the fridge after the second day. Just make sure there is no mold or anything in it before you feed it to your lizard. I don t know much about lizards, but I know that if the food looked unapetizing to me, I certainly wouldnt feed it to my cat. General rule of thumb as a pet owner, "If I wouldnt eat it because it looks/smells bad I wouldnt feed it to my pet."

Unused portions of canned cat food can be refrigerated in an airtight container for about a day or two.

If you can, place the wet food in an airtight container to keep it fresh up to 4 days in the fridge.
