You got a 42 pound bag of food for $100 !!- I would think Nick would have given you a deal considering how much your promote it.
Most dog food companies put expiration dates on their bags(even Hills). I have never seen one that had a date 2 years out(on Dry kibble)even on those that use artificial preservatives. Even if kept it in an airtight container, I would not feed that food to my dog for 2 years, but that is just me .
I also think that Science Hill mainly uses artificial preservatives such as ethoxyquin, BHT and BHA which would give a longer shelf life to their products; not sure if they are still doing this. I know there is some controversy regarding the long term use of those artificial ingredients and how safe they are, but I bet Nick would say there is nothing to worry about. I would imagine he got a nice chunk of change when Science Hill created their ZD product. I prefer to use a product with natural preservatives, even if it means a shorter shelf life.
I usually buy the smaller bags so they aren't sitting around for months. Even our food, such as crackers or cereal get stale in airtight containers.
