Quick answer
Use bag sealing clips to reseal your pet's raw food bags after each meal, keeping oxygen out and preventing meat smells in the fridge.
Why sealing matters for raw pet food
Raw pet food is highly perishable. Once you open a cryovac bag, oxygen and bacteria can start affecting the meat. A tight seal slows spoilage, reduces discoloration, and keeps the fridge smelling fresh.
Bag sealing clips are a simple, reusable tool that creates an airtight closure without needing to transfer the food to another container. They save time and reduce waste.
Choosing the right clip size
Not all clips fit all bags. The Bag Sealing Clips from Raw & Fresh measure 14.5 cm, which is wide enough to span the full width of their pack sizes from 125g to 1kg. For other brands, you may need to fold the bag top in half to get a good fit.
How to use bag sealing clips for fresh pet food
- Squeeze out excess air: After portioning out your pet's meal, press the bag flat to remove as much air as possible before sealing. Less air means slower oxidation. A common mistake is leaving too much air inside, which speeds up spoilage.
- Fold the bag top if needed: If the bag is wider than the clip (e.g., a large bulk pack), fold the open end in half so the clip can grip both layers securely. Check that the fold is tight to avoid air leaks.
- Slide the clip across the bag: Position the clip at the folded or straight edge and slide it firmly across the entire width. Ensure the clip is centered and the bag edge is fully inside the groove. If the clip is loose, reposition it; a loose seal lets air in.
- Store the bag flat in the fridge: Place the sealed bag flat on a fridge shelf, not on the door where temperature fluctuates. Keep it away from raw meats meant for humans to avoid cross-contamination. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the sealed bag, as pressure can break the seal.
- Rinse and reuse the clip: After the bag is empty, wash the clip with warm soapy water and let it dry completely before using it on a new bag. Do not put the clip in the dishwasher unless the manufacturer says it's safe; hand washing preserves the grip.
