How long is it safe to keep dry cat food in a hot car?

I need to get more dry cat food at the store, it would be more
convenient to pick it up first rather than last. If I pick it up first,
it will have to sit in the hot car for at least 2 hrs. I wouldn't think
it would be any longer than 3 hrs though. I don't know how hot the car
would be but I know it will be around 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside and
so it would be hotter in the car. The food will be in one of those
plastic Hill's Prescription Diet bags.

I really don't think it would be a good idea to leave it in the car so
long, especially since it's a prescription food. But I thought maybe
someone would know for sure.

Hmmm... I really don't know.  I imagine though when it is shipped, it's not
in any temperture controlled trucks or anything.  I think it would probably
be fine, but I can't confirm that.

Just try and make an offering of it to your hungry horde and if they
eat it, it's probably kool. Katz won;t eat anything that is spoiled, I
shouldn't think. Besides, how could that spoil it? It could only dry it
out and make it totally flavorless. Probably cook out all the nutrients
too. But with what it cost these days, I'd give it a shot. If they get
real hungry,they will eat..

Hi Mike,

I would think it would be fine -- but I'd keep it in the trunk, which is
cooler than the inside of the car (no greenhouse effect.)
