Sorry this is a bit of a weird question, and i really didn't know if I should put in the health or food section...but since it deals with how to safely store a uhh high calorie vitamin foodstuff? Decided to post it here.
I decided to pain-stakingly make my dog an emergency kit, i knew i wanted the actual bag/kit to be small (AND it really is but it can hold so much! My own purse might be bigger) And it can hold so much because I repacked a few items. - Such as the iodine spray and hydrogen peroxide, I bought a package of small, clear empty spray bottles and these label sticker things at the Dollar Tree for of course $1 each! Now they are in much smaller packaging and don't take up as much room in the kit!
I brought up the Dollar Tree because I wanted to do this spending the least amount of money as possible! The Dollar Tree, and especially these two other random discount stores I live by were the best! They both have an amazing pet product selection and I am all for that! Just checking the clearance at regular stores have gotten me great prices and now i know most thrift stores don't really have a pet selection, but pretty much every store will even have a couple items and always priced dirt cheap.
Some items I absolutely did not mind paying full price, like all the medical items.
I am rambling BAD lol. Pretty much done with the kit but I know I will occasionally come up with an item that I want in there. Some of my meds that originally came in big bottles, i found these tiny vials for repackaging, remembeing to always label exactly what it is. I have done this with dog asprin and kwik-stop.
i would now like to do this with nutri-cal. There are many names for stuff - nutri-stat, nutri-vet, ready-cal - WHATEVER it is pretty much all the same. A very high calorie paste filled with all the vitamins your dog would ever need.
here is the question. as long as the nutri-cal is not expired would it remain safe to use? (For a dog to eat) I santize the vial beforehand and I THINK it is made out of superhard plastic. Would it be okay for me to repackage some of it in the vial without it getting moldy and gross?
I would love to have this on hand in the emergency kit (i do rescue too, look out for strays) but whatever the brand the tube takes up too much precious space.
Here is a picture of the vial and a couple formulations of the stuff with a backdrop of vet supplies catalogs because my rug is just covered in fur atm.
