Safe Storage for Dehydrated Chews & Treats
Our chews are stored in a cool, dry facility maintained at 20% humidity or lower prior to shipping. Depending on your home environment, natural chews can be stored in a similar cool, dry place. Proper storage helps prevent mold growth and ensures your pet gets the best chew possible.
🧊 Short & Long-Term Storage
- Short term (up to 30 days): Store in a cool, dry area away from sunlight and moisture.
- Long term: For the safest universal storage, place your chews in the freezer. This keeps them dry and safe from pests.
- Do not store in the refrigerator. Refrigerators can cause condensation, creating conditions for mold growth.
💨 If Your Chew Gets Moist
If your chew accumulates moisture (from chewing or humidity), simply dry it out fully or place it in the freezer. Never store damp chews in bags or sealed containers — trapped moisture can cause spoilage.
🐾 Why It Matters
Every home environment is different. Our recommendations are designed to keep your chews in top condition regardless of climate or season. Proper storage prevents pests, mold, and off smells — preserving freshness for your dog to enjoy.
🌿 Zero Additives
Chewy Pawz chews contain no chemicals, bleaches, salts, or preservatives. Our single-ingredient chews are air-dried using time-honored methods to preserve their natural nutrients and flavor.
🤎 Quality Matters
We come from generations of Montana ranchers and farmers. Our proteins are sourced from local Wyoming and Montana farms and processed in-house to human food grade standards. Our background in cattle and meat production allows us to uphold real, ethical quality — not just marketing language.
🔥 Simply Air Dried
All of our treats and chews (excluding antlers) are gently dehydrated with low heat and air — the same preservation method humans have used for thousands of years. This process allows them to stay shelf stable while retaining their natural nutrition.
