Well, that's out of the question for me.

The second thing I read was that you should never remove the food from the bag it's packaged in. The bag itself is "supposedly" designed to retain the foods proper texture. ie: My TOTW would get dry when I'd remove it from the bag and put it into a big tupperware container.

So now I keep it in the bag and clip it shut and then put that in a plastic container. And the food keeps that oily type consistency. And my dogs will eat the last bite as quickly as they eat the first bite of a fresh bag.

I always felt the food would get somewhat stale and often my dogs would not eat the last quarter of a bag of food.

This is part of my dilemma. I can't find anywhere on the "Pet Food Containers" where it specifcally says they're approved for food storage.

I've always kept my pet food in the original bag and then clip it shut and put that inside another container like you do, Sherry. But I also can't find a quality "Pet Food Container" with dimensions big enough to be able to do that. I may just have to get another Rubbermaid from Walmart.
