We recommend storing dry, or unopened wet WHISKAS® Cat Food products in a cool dry place, not subject to extreme hot or cold temperatures. Our dry products should not be stored in areas of humidity (washer, dryer, refrigerator, etc.) or near odorous materials (detergent, fertilizer, etc.). If possible, store our dry products in a plastic container (keep the product in the bag with top folded closed for best storage).
Yes. Any unused portion needs to be refrigerated in a sealed container. We recommend using the food within four days of opening. You may allow the food to sit at room temperature for up to thirty minutes or microwave the food for a few seconds (in a microwave-safe dish - not in the can!) prior to feeding, as some cats do not care for cold food.

Cats’ teeth are different from humans. They are designed for biting and tearing, so they are not efficient at chewing food. Depending on the size of dry kibble that they are eating, they may bite only once or twice before swallowing. If your cat is new to the diet, we recommend transitional feeding. As long as your cat does not vomit or exhibit other signs of digestive upset, then this should not be a concern.
If your cat is new to this food, then we recommend practicing transitional feeding. WHISKAS® Dry Food for cats (both kibbles and pockets) are complete and balanced, so your cat is getting what she needs. In order to encourage her to eat all of the food, we recommend transitional feeding. You can also portion food carefully, introducing one serving at a time, or limit the amount of food in the bowl to what the feeding guide recommends for a day and leave it out for a bit longer than usual to encourage your cat to finish.
