  Re: How do you store your dog food? Reply Contact   I'll answer your questions here, but I'll not do a survey. I store the  thirty pound bag of kibble in it's bag,, and then inside a human grade plastic food bin.  The bag only lasts seven or eight days, so long term storage isn't an issue for me.  Their home cooked goes in a large, human grade plastic container, in the fridge. A house without fur is not a home. Glenda

Each dog eats something different so they each have their own storage bin. I use cheap storage bins and won't spend more than $10 on a container.

  Re: How do you store your dog food? Reply Contact I have one of those big storage containers on casters with a snap lid.  It holds a 33 lb. bag of dog food quite nicely and I keep it in the pantry so I really don't care much about being able to change the design. I think metal would be heavy and cumbersome for that much weight, and ceramic or glass would be just as bad except that there would also be a chance of it breaking. I also think a screw top lid would be a PITA.  I just lift the lid on one side and fold it back.  It cost about $25 and was well worth it. Joyce

  Re: How do you store your dog food? Reply Contact I store 2- 40 lb bags of dry food outside in a metal trash container (always used for this purpose) next to it in another metal trash container is my wild bird food and sunflower seeds.  They all sit in a frame w/wheels so I  can move it if I need to.  I keep treats and snacks in the house in a food grade plastic container w/screw top lid and their fresh goes in the bin in the fridge.  I changed to the metal containers several years ago because the mice and the squirels could chew thru the heavy plastic containers I had outside.

  Re: How do you store your dog food? Reply Contact In the bag in a more or less airtight metal trash can.  I go through food so fast I don't worry too much about exposure to air.  I also use the metal because we used to live in a place where I had to store the food on the screened porch outside and raccoons could get to it.  Nine dogs and I had a raccoon problem, sheesh.  Not here though - the guard dogs have access to the house.  But I don't see any reason to change. I've got one of those stack and store containers and love it!  The spinny lid is the bomb.  I store duck food in it. The cat's food is only purchased 3 pounds at a time and is stored in a large plastic cereal container. And of course all my homemade stuff is stored in plastic bags in the freezer.  I freeze the liquidy stuff in silicone muffin forms, then when they are solid, I pop them out and store them all together in gallon freezer bags.  then I can remove 6 oz at a time, about half what I use in a day.   Becca Shouse: Irena Farm, Semora, NC Cord, Ted, Gus, Zhi, Maggie, Lynn, Lu, Min and Tully Waiting: Bubo & Ben "We didn't have a phone, and we couldn't call you!"
