How long does wet canned cat food last open and in the fridge?

Gayle

I just found out yesterday that my cat Pumpkin has diabetes. :( I am feeding him prescription (expensive!!) canned cat food (wet cat food). How long will the can of food last if it is opened and I keep it in the fridge? Thanks :( :(

I use canned food with my cats. I portion out servings in the morning, put any remainder in a pyrex dish and put it in the cupboard. If you use the meat within twelve hours it will be just fine.

2 days...after that you risk any bactria that may make her sick.



Apryl

Couple days uncovered, but if u cover it up then three to four days



Kasie

Id only give it a day or two.

Everyone is correct, but just wanted to add, that if you keep it in the fridge, let it warm to room temp or stick it in the microwave for a few seconds. Most cats dont like ice cold food.

Hi There is no reason to feed DM or Md, It holds no value over commercially available canned foods and is very poor quality. Read the ingrediants. The idea for diabetics it to feed canned foods under 10% carbs. This gives the breakdownhttp://www. geocities. com/jmpeerson/canfo…
