Finding the date information on your dog food can require a bit of searching. There’s no standardized place for this information, usually printed separately on the food packaging. It’s good practice to note this location when purchasing, as it will also usually contain the “lot code,” which plays a crucial role in identifying recalled food.
This short string of numbers and letters can identify the batch they produced the food in, in case they find any issues later. This code is typically near the Best By/Use By date on the food packaging.
