You don't like stale food, so why would your pet? Finding the right pet food storage solution is essential to maintain freshness and prevent spoiling. The proper pet food storage locks all the good stuff inside, like nutrients and minerals, while protecting against pests and moisture. From airtight containers to specialized dispensers, Chewy offers an array of perfect pet food storage for every home and furry friend. Popular types of pet food storage include:
The best containers for dog food are airtight, opaque, and made of food-grade materials. Look for containers with secure seals that prevent air exposure while being easy to open and close. Many pet parents prefer containers with wheels for easy movement of heavy food and measuring cups for precise portions.
Food-grade plastic and stainless steel are the top choices for pet food storage. Both materials resist odor absorption, prevent pests from accessing the food, and don't leach chemicals. Glass can also work well but carries the risk of breaking. Avoid containers made from thin plastics not rated for food storage, as they may contain harmful chemicals.
As oxygen exposure is one of the main culprits behind food spoilage and nutrient degradation, airtight containers offer a solid storage solution. They also prevent oxidation that leads to vitamin loss, while keeping moisture and pests out of your dog's food.
The ideal approach is actually to store the original bag inside a container. The original packaging includes important information like expiration dates and is designed with barriers against oxygen and moisture. By placing the entire bag in an airtight container, you get the benefits of both—the protective elements of the bag along with the rigid structure and additional seal of a proper storage container.
