Unfortunately, it does. A quality pet food will ALWAYS show an expiration date on the bag or can, but whether or not an expiration date shows, know that it will absolutely expire at some point.

For the most part, there is little chance of expired food poisoning your pet, but why take a chance? At the very least, the nutritional content has diminished and your pet is not receiving all that is needed for a healthy diet (assuming it is a quality product that could have met nutrition needs in the first place).

If your can or bag does not have an expiration date, assume that it is not a quality product worthy of your beloved dog and just toss it.

If a date is there, but unreadable, look for a phone number on the product or Google for a company phone number. Give the bar code information to find out when it was produced and when it will expire. Again, if you have any issues getting the information, just assume that you are not doing your four-legged family member any favors if you choose to serve it to him/her anyway.

Is canned dog food bad for dogs?

No, canned dog food is really good for dogs, but if your dog is reacting badly to the food you may want to note the ingredients to try and see what he is reacting to. You could also change dog food. Also, make sure your dog is eating the right foods, for example, a puppy needs special puppy food, which should be changed to adult dog food when he is old enough.
