I would not. I would not trust how old it was, if something had tainted it, if bugs were in it, or if rodents had been or were in it.

Why do you ask?

If you have some you cannot use, donate it to a rescue or shelter. I do not think anyone would buy it.

I don't think a rescue or shelter would even take it if its open.

the food cost over $50 dollars and just opened. i don't like just donating something that's worth a decent amont of money. the money can be used for paying for the euthanizing of my dog($300).

I'm not sure why you'd specify no-kill (the other dogs have to eat too!) , but many places operate on a shoestring and will take open food. I don't think you'd have much luck selling it though.
I'm very sorry about your dog.

No intelligent person is going to buy opened dog food and I really doubt any would even take it if you gave it to them.

Some pet stores will take back food that is opened and refund your the money. I use a feed store that will do that. When I first tried Innova the guy said if your dogs do not like it bring it back and we will refund the money..well the dogs loved it.When my dad's cat died I tried giving an opened bag of food to the shelter and they would not take it ( and yes it was an expensive high quality food) so I gave it to a co worker that had cats.

My shelter did take an open bag. It never hurts to ask.
