Just switched to the Costco version of TOTW and I want to minimize trips to Costco by buying a few bags at a time. I can't find any attractive containers to store 80 lbs of food...but am thinking of getting this Vittles Vault Gamma Vittles Vault Pet Food Container at PETCO
Does anyone have this? If so, is it wide enough to put bags of food (still in the bag) inside, or do you have to dump the food in? If you have to dump it in, is it hard to reach the food in the bottom of the container?
I have the Gamma Vittle Vault Plus for my small dogs and I like it a lot, I buy small bags (8-10 lbs) and they fit fine in it in the orig. bag, not sure about the larger sizes though, it would prob. be a tight squeeze. I also have one I got at Target that's on wheels (which tend to fall off if I lift it up), otherwise it works well but I like the VV better. I like the idea of keeping the food in the bag and then in the container, just in case there's another recall, you'd know what the serial #'s are of the food you're feeding.

Anyone have these products, or a better storage solution?
I got the 50lbs version of Gamma Vittles Vault Pet Food Container. It's not wide enough to put a large bag (30lbs+) inside of it; so you will have to dump the food into the container. No, it's not hard to reach the food in the bottom and you can also turn it over and dump out the left-over content if needed to.
I went to the link you provided and read the reviews. Now I'm interested, too! One of the reviewers said petco.com has free shipping and something about a $10.00 off coupon. May want to check that out. Best wishes!
I got two commerical garbage cans from Tractor Supply a few years ago. They cost only a fraction of what those special pet food containers cost and come in so many types and shapes, it would drive you nuts trying to decide. You can get a sample of whats out there by looking at Material Handling Equipment & Industrial Supplies: C&H Distributors. dont look at their prices since most are available locally or locally on similar type items for much less.
from petsmart about 5 years ago when we brought bailey home .... one for cat kibble and one for dog kibble.... the medium sized bin holds about 50 lbs of kibble.... they hold a LOT more than they look like they would.....
Thanks for the replies. A few years ago I used a large Rubbermaid container but ants invaded and I had to toss the food!
The other options posted are intriguing, but I need something my dogs can't open...because mine are very motivated by food and will find a way to get into things
I wish a local store carried these options!
