IRIS Airtight Pet Food Storage Container, Clear/Almond

I just needed something basic to put my cats food in. When I received it there was a strong chemical smell so I washed it before use. While I was doing it I notice a foam lining in the lid. I’m not sure if that was supposed to be used as a seal so bugs won’t get in..? I got it all wet and gross so I threw it away. I wouldn’t have used it anyway because of the initial strong chemical odor. Also there was a black mark on the lid when it arrived. I know that’s silly to complain about but I wouldn’t have picked up that one in a store with a mark. Other than the above it does it’s job holding food but since I took out the seal I’m sure bugs could creep in because of the way the lid is now.

Our cats are Houdini’s or something, they knock this over and have managed to open it. They love this container! Ha. I’ve started putting something heavy on top to help keep them out.

Apparently its unsafe to allow the dog food to sit in its original bag that is not airtight. It goes rancid. So I bought this and it does exactly what its supposed to.

I bought three of these, one for each type of cat food I have in my house. We have one cat eating senior, another eating special urinary food, and two more on kitten food still. These are a great space saver from the big bulky cat food bags I would buy. They stack easily and keep the food fresh.

I got this and 15lbs of my small dog’s kibble filled it and I had to up the remainder in a Ziplock freezer bag. Also the clasp on the container is flimsy and doesn’t seal.

Don't know how the clip will hold up over time but so far its held up. Only smells like plastic right out of the package, it goes away within hours, good quality plastic, good size for a 10-12lb bag of food. You can probably store litter in it if you want and would even be good for flour or cereal to be honest though it might be a little large for that.

I bought 2 of these and they’re the perfect size to stack beside my washer/dryer. The lid fits tightly to preserve the freshness of my kitty’s food.

Overall I like the product. I originally bought two, one for dog food and one to hold rice. The rice container is perfectly fine, but my dog food container was attracting a lot of ants strangely.... would be careful where you put it.

I'm able to fit a 30 lb. back of dog food in this without needing to empty the bag into the container. I like that it has wheels because my kitchen is pretty small, so I can move it out of the way if needed.

The grooves on the lid have a flexible foam in them, which so far has kept bugs out. However, it has a strong plastic odour, even after washing. If you put food directly in it, it would change the taste. I only use it to store a bag of flour. I wouldn't put food directly into it, and would not buy another.
