I actually have engineering tables for the shelf life of dried biological materials at home.
More than likely, the bag of dog food would have been fine sine a 5 month old pup would have ate the bag within 6 weeks. The guidlines for best if sold by date are usually taking into concideration that the bag may be stored at a higher temperature than if it were stored in an airconditioned house. The cooler temperatures can extend the shelf life by 50%.
I would need to look up the data at home. I am just going off what I remember from college classes.
