Pet Food Storage Advice - My husband and I have two cats and two dogs. The dogs are hunting dogs and stay outside in a large kennel area. The cats are in the house full time. The dog kennel is attached to a small storage shed in the yard. The shed provides protection from the elements and also is a convenient spot for us to store the dog food. After we had been storing the dog food for about two months my husband noticed that he would find pieces of the food scattered in the shed.

After several days of this he discovered that a mouse had chewed a hole in the bottom of the bag. We decided that we were going to have to find pet food storage that would be mouse proof. Until we were able to go shopping my husband put a piece of duct tape over the hole. So we decided we needed proper Pet Food Storage.

They are an excellent way to make sure that your pet food stays fresh from beginning to end. They will help you save money by buying the bigger bags of food and being able to keep the food fresh in a pet food storage bin. There is a wide variety of storage bins, such as soft pet food storage products and automatic pet food dispensers with storage capability. You can use these pet food storage containers for both dog and cat food.

You can purchase designs that are stylish enough to store your pet food out in the open. Some storage containers even have extra storage on top so that you can store treats or your pets leash. If you prefer to store your pets food outside, but don’t want to ruin the landscape, you can even purchase pet food storage containers shaped like rocks. They can store up to 13 gallons and 40 pounds of dog food or bird seed and can protect it from the weather and pests.

There are some that you can mount on your wall and out of the way. They generally have a pour chute at the bottom of the bin that will make it easier for you to pour the food into your pets bowl. Another option that is easier on the eyes is a wooden Pet Food Storage bin with a hinged lid. You can purchase them in pine with your choice of finish.
