Guys often complain that their women are obsessed with plastics. Girls seem to have a plastic dish for every conceivable use. If it’s not a soap dish or a storage bead box, it’s a bucket with compartments for her 35 different facial products. Well, here’s some Tupperware that even a man can live with, because it’s not for his woman, it’s for his best friend. Tupperware makes a great form of pet food storage container.
You may wonder why your pet’s food needs storage in the first place. Well, pet food comes in plastic bags which are great marketing tools, with the colorful packaging and wholesale sizing. But once the pack is open, it no longer works as well. Dry food can lose the little moisture that it has, or it can absorb atmospheric fluid and become soggy. Think how you would feel if your cornflakes got mushy and your bread slices got crispy – without toasting. Storing pet food properly can save your cat, dog, or fish from similar agony.
Pet food containers come in different styles. Some are simply plastic storage boxes in extra large sizes. They have solid snap lids that keep the food fresh and prevent contamination. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so it keeps the food safe from external warmth.
The Vittles Vault Stackable container looks a little like a cement mixer, but at just 12 inches, it sits comfortably on a table top. It has an attractive design with an angled side opening and a screw cap. The vault comes in 40 pound and 60 pound options, and the design allows you to stack them vertically, saving you storage space and adding a decorative function.
The Stack-N-Store container is another attractive option. It looks like a plastic safe with a diagonal front flap, and to your pet, it’s as valuable as any money vault. The bin comes in different colors, and the bin snaps on and off for convenient, water tight storage that is impossible for your curious cat to pry open. Pests can’t access the bin either.
For camping trips and travel, you can get a rectangle storage box that looks a little like a laundry hamper. It has a zipped flap cover with a pouch on the side for the pet food scoop, and is made of nylon fabric that keeps food smells in and bad smells out. The nylon is housed in a solid plastic frame. It can keep up to 8 pounds of food and is ideal for outdoor use, making it the perfect form of pet food storage.
