| What do you store dog food in? What do you store dog food in? I need to get something new. I only buy 5 or 6 lbs at a time, so I need something smaller. |

Therapy Dog Donating Member | I LOVE the Lock-n-Lock containers that you can get on QVC and they come in a zillion sizes. Just to give you an idea on how long they keep things fresh....I roasted some pumpkin seeds last year and put them into one of the Lock-n-Locks and I just used the last of them up about a few weeks ago and they were as crisp and fresh as the day I put them in it.

| I use the Rubbermaid cereal containers. I fill it about half full, then freeze the rest of the kibble to keep it fresh. |

| I keep the homemade food in plastic tupperware or baggies in the fridge or freezer, and the kibble in airtight metal cans.

| The plastic pet food storage container from Target, they come in I think four different sizes. Not that expensive either compared to food storage containers from pet suppliers. |

| I use a round plastic container from Wal-Mart. Its lid has two locking handles. It holds half of my 35-40 pound bag of food. (I have 2 containers for adult food and 2 for puppy food) I go through a whole bag in just over a week. The Anatolian eats as much as all of the little dogs put together. My freezer is full of dog food, as I buy it in bulk (12 bags at a time) |
