What happens when dog food gets damp?
When dog food gets damp, several things happen. First, the moistened kibble absorbs water and becomes softer; if there is too much moisture it may turn sticky or mushy. Second, damp food loses its original texture and aroma and may develop a moldy or rotten smell. Furthermore, nutrients can break down or leach out, lowering the food's nutritional value. Finally, if damp food is stored in a humid environment for a long time, it may grow mold, which not only affects taste and nutrition but can also harm your dog's health.
