[General](https://hub.inukshukpro.com/inukshuk-portal/general?hsLang=en-ca) November 6, 2026 # The Inukshuk Bag ## Properly stored, opened bags stay fresh for up to 4 months.   ### **Freshness by Design** Every Inukshuk bag is hermetically sealed, not vacuum sealed. Each includes a one-way freshness valve that allows air to escape but never return. This design protects the food from oxygen, light, and moisture — the three biggest threats to fat quality and vitamin stability. From our mill to your storage, that valve preserves potency, flavor, and shelf life without the need for artificial preservatives. ### **Why Bags Feel Different** Some bags arrive firm, others slightly puffy, both are normal. Pressure from stacked pallets during shipping pushes air out through the valve, leaving some bags dense and “brick-like.” A puffier bag just means a bit more air remained after production. Either way, the seal is intact, and the food inside is protected. ### **The Bag Test: Checking Your Seal** 1. Press gently to push air out of the bag. 2. If it flattens and stays flat, the valve is working and the seal is good. A proper seal ensures your dog’s food remains safe, aromatic, and nutrient-rich. ### **Storage Tips for Open Bags** - Cut a small opening for your scoop, fold, and clip tightly. - Push out excess air before resealing. - Store in a cool, dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight or humidity. - Avoid airtight containers for long-term storage, Inukshuk’s bag is designed to breathe safely. - For extended storage, portion and freeze. Properly stored, an unopened bag of Inukshuk 26/16, 30/25, 32/32 will last for 24 months and Marine 26/16 & 30/25 will last 18 months. We recommend to store your food in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. ### **Quality You Can Trust** Our packaging process is part of the same fixed-formula system that keeps every batch identical. Each lot is tested for moisture, fat stability, and packaging integrity before it leaves our mill. ### **Learn More** See how our formulas and testing work together for consistent results on the [**Quality Standards**](https://hub.inukshukpro.com/inukshuk-portal/quality-standards?hsLang=en-ca)[**page**](https://www.inukshukpro.com/feeding/quality-standards).   - [General](https://hub.inukshukpro.com/inukshuk-portal/general?hsLang=en-ca#main-content) - [Buying Inukshuk](https://hub.inukshukpro.com/inukshuk-portal/general?hsLang=en-ca#buying-inukshuk) [![Inukshuk Professional Dog Food](https://hub.inukshukpro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Inukshuk-Green-Logo-Side-by-Side-Large-Text-1.png?width=300&height=65&name=Inukshuk-Green-Logo-Side-by-Side-Large-Text-1.png "Inukshuk Professional Dog Food")](http://www.inukshukpro.com) [mailto:inukshukpro@corey.ca](mailto:inukshukpro@corey.ca) Copyright © 2025, Inukshuk Professional Dog Food
