For proud pet owners, not many things can match the pleasure of snuggling up to or playing with their furry friends. Whether it’s the best chew toys, the softest blankets, or the most wholesome food- they want their pets to have the best of everything.

Cat and dog food comes packaged in different mediums. Before you select the right packaging medium for the dog food, ask yourself these questions:

Will it keep the dog food fresh?
It’s very disappointing to open a pack of dog food and find that it has become stale and smelly. Sometimes moisture and dust can enter the pack and make the food foul-tasting and unpleasant. Stand up pouches ensure that the probability of such occurrences is almost zero. They are manufactured with multiple layers of laminate material to ensure that the packaged food remains as fresh as it was at the time of packaging, even after a long period of storage. These layers provide a barrier against odor, moisture, sunlight, and dirt. So the food always remains contamination free.

Can the pack be torn apart?
Dog food has traditionally been packaged in regular plastic bags. Your dog might spot the pack and jump on it, creating a big mess. Of course it will be a treat for the dog, but it won’t be healthy. So you have to ensure that you put the pack away and out of her reach at all times. With stand up pouch bags, you can place the packet anywhere. The barrier films are thick and your dog will not be able to tear into them.

Will my dog get injured?
If you are feeding your dog directly from the tin can, then there are strong chances that she might hurt her mouth. Standup pouches are much safer as they can be easily opened and given directly to the dog.

Is the pack travel friendly?
Stand up pouches are lightweight and convenient to carry. You can buy a small pack of just the quantity you need and put it in a corner of your suitcase.

Since standup pouches are the best option for all the above concerns, they have become the ideal medium for pet food packaging these days. They are great not just for dog food, but cat food and fish food as well. Apart from the above qualities, they also offer a great branding value since they have a lot of space where you can print your brand information and other details.
