There are three basic materials manufacturers use to make dog food storage containers. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of each, so you can make the most informed decision possible.

Plastic options are often more affordable than other materials, but you’ll want to make sure you look for products that are made with BPA free plastic. You may also need to wash a new bin a few times in order to get rid of the plastic smell.

Many plastic containers are translucent or transparent, so they make it easy to keep an eye on how much food you have left — this will help prevent the “OMG! I’m out of dog food,” reaction that can occasionally occur with opaque containers.

It is good idea to look for a thick, durable plastic that won’t be prone to cracking or susceptible to being chewed!

Stainless Steel Containers

While stainless steel products are usually more expensive than plastic alternatives, they are durable and long-lasting. Stainless steel dog food containers are also pretty inert, so they won’t react with your dog’s food. They’re also very easy to keep clean, which will help prevent your dog’s food from spoiling.

Many people also appreciate the sleek look of stainless steel, and want to avoid the smell of plastic!

Wood Containers

Wood is a bit of a throw-back material that some manufacturers use to make storage containers. Many owners love the look of natural wood enclosures, and they’re usually very durable too. However, they do have a few drawbacks.

For example, wood (unless it is finished with a good water-proof sealer) shouldn’t be used to store unbagged food, as the pores in the wood can allow molds or bacteria to persist. Additionally, wooden containers are rarely insect-proof, so you could end up with bugs in your pet’s food.

Also, wooden storage containers are rarely airtight, so they won’t help keep your dog’s food as fresh. Learn more about how to select the Plastic Pet Food Container on the here: https://www.pet-food-container.com/product/pet-food-container/
