The last time my prankster (the cutest and most lovable) dog broke in to the month’s supply of dog food, I had to roundly scold her for this misbehavior. Not that it did any good. And, it’s not as though she’s not fed, morning and evening. She’s quite plump, a little too plump for good health. I mentioned this to my neighbor, who looked at me as though I wasn’t yet in the 21st century. This is how I learned about dog food storage containers, a remarkably effective way to keep the mischievous, thieving dogs a little more honest!
Her own dog is a small breed, so her dog food storage container is of an appropriate size, with an enviably decorative design that takes up little space in her kitchen. My little mischief-maker is a 120-pound shepherd who eats more than I do, so I asked her if these dog-proof food containers came in a size to accommodate the 40 pounds of food I normally buy. Yep. So I promptly went online to see what I could find. Lo and behold, I found food storage containers in trash-can sizes suited to this large amount of dog food. Aha. ‘Her food binging days are over!’ The one I chose came equipped with rollers that make it easy to wheel around to the garage door when I come home with the booty. In goes the contents of the bag, and now she’s actually got to wait until breakfast and dinner time to dine!
This dog food storage container also has a snap-lock top, preventing even my clever friend from eating at will! I’m happy to report that she’s now looking a bit more fit, having shed a few unwanted pounds because of this excellent piece of ‘kitchen’ ware.
I found a spot for my new food storage container next to my baker’s rack. It’s blue and fits in nicely with my kitchen color scheme. Oh, what will they think of next?
No matter what size pooch resides in your household, there’s a food container that fills the bill. I’d recommend the ‘trash can’ size for medium to large dogs. If you’ve got one of the small sized breeds of canines, there are cute storage containers that hold up to 10 pounds of dog food. Usually, this size of container comes with a handy pouring spout.
There are other advantages to be found with an official dog food storage container. For one thing, you don’t need to relegate the container to the garage?they’re good looking enough to put in the kitchen. You also don’t risk that bag of food acquiring insects or moisture during the cool, damp weather of winter. If you’ve got toddlers, you don’t need to worry about them sampling from the bag. These aesthetic and functional containers also help preserve the freshness and crunch most dogs savor in their meals.
Ah yes! I’m the newest fan of dog food storage containers. Good looking, practical, inexpensive and the too-plump dog’s best friend?next to you, of course!
