A Box of Canned Dog Food is a box that holds 6 cans of Canned Dog Food. It is a bulk way to carry and store a food that keeps for a long time. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
This box comes from packing. The Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe puts six loose cans of dog food into one box. The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties it back into 6 cans.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Each can needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open. An opened can of dog food lowers hunger by 30 and holds 498 calories. That is a lot of food for one can.
The cost is mood. Eating dog food adds 50 unhappiness, a heavy blow to mood. It is a food for desperate times. An opened can adds 15 hunger to a Stew. Once cooked, it also goes into a Burger, a Burrito or a Sandwich for 10 hunger, or a Taco for 5. In fishing chum it adds 30, more than a can of corn at 10.

Storage
Sealed cans keep without spoiling, so a box of dog food suits a long term emergency store. Once a can is opened, the dog food stays fresh for 5 days and is fully rotten by day 7. A fridge slows both counts down.
Notes
- Packing six loose cans into a box saves 0.8 weight.
- Canned dog food is very filling but adds 50 unhappiness when eaten as it is.
- An opened can adds 15 hunger to a stew, so the box can stretch a pot of food.
- Opened dog food adds more to fishing chum than a Fish Fillet does.
