I'm reading mixed reviews about whether 15lbs fits. Does anyone use this with Orijen cat food? Does the whole 15 bag of Orijen fit in this container?

HI, I use the Gamma 2 Vittles Vault, I have 16lb. bag of regular cat food and almost the whole bag fits. The Gamma 2 Vittles Vault is the best, perfect size, doesn't take up a lot of room.

I use Acana (also champion pet foods) 15 lb bags of dog food and it fits perfectly.

I put in a 20 pound bag of dog food, and have plenty of room left over. We also have cats, so I am familiar with how big a bag of cat food is, and I can't imagine a 15 pound bag of cat food filling up much more than half of the container. Quick note - we use grain free foods, so those may be denser and take up less room than other types of food.

My cat is 18 pounds. This wasn't quite big enough for my kitty. I would get a larger cat box for your cat. If he is able to climb and jump a bit (not arthritis) get a storage bin and use that. Works better than any commercial litter box. There is enough room and the high sides keep litter from scattering.

I have a 13 LB cat and the Bergan Carrier is fine for him but he does not have a lot of room!! I am doubtful that a 20 LB J.R.Terrier would be happy in said carrier!!??

My cat is almost 15 lbs. and he has room to spare....This is an excellent carrier, glad I made the purchase

A 15 lb. bag did not quite fill the container. I would say 40 lbs. would require a larger container.

I use it for my cat as her food dish. I put 1/4 cup of food in it in the morning and another at night. I have had the dish for 2 yrs and she has gone from 14 pounds to 11.75. Sometimes she knocks it over but not frequently. I dont know how well this would work in a multi cat family.

The feeder holds 1.5 gallons of food, or 24 cups.We buy Royal Canin Adult Cat and the feeder holds about half a 8.8 lb bag. The kibble might be lighter than some dog foods though, and I've seen the same feeder referred to as "6lb petite".I would think that the food would go stale in the feeder quicker than in a sealed container (e.g. lock'n'lock), so we only use this when traveling and never for more than 4-5 days.

My cat is 18 pounds and she fits fine in this. I would believe it would be perfect for a 20 pound dog. I would get it, try it, and if it's not good for your pup, then just return it. It has been a life savor for me, cuz she's too heavy for me to carry in a regular carrier. I love this carrier. Highly recommend.

My cats are 12lbs and it's OK for them but 15lbs might be pushing it. If your dog is under the seat inside the plane (and not below the plane with the luggage), it could work. But it would be snug to fit a water bowl or food. However, if you're flying with the dog you should be able to open it for him/her. I would take the measurements of this, cut up cardboard to match each side, and tape it together and see how your dog fits inside before ordering. Or go to a store that sells it and bring your pup to see how he fits.

Yes, I have been buying the 15 pound dry food for many months now and it contains the whole bag but with little room to spare so you will need to deplete the previous bag before you open the new one. I am usually a skeptic but this has impressed me. Hope this helps, Joe.

My cat is 16 pounds she fits but does throw some of the pellets out of the box when she is burying her stuff. But i wouldn't trade this system for anything!

Sorry for the delay. That might be too large for the container. You really don't need the bag. The food stays pretty air tight. I keep bird seed in it.

I would say 'No' to three cats that size. It is a snug fit for my 15 pound dachshund. She is probably a little longer than a cat, but I don't think two cats could stand being together in it.

We use the Bergan Stack-N-Stor containers for canned food, snacks, cups of wet food, dry food and other cat related items for our four cats as they do not all eat the same food. The information that I have is that one holds 27 to 28 lbs of dry food but there are larger ones if you need them. We own six and they have really helped to organize our pet items.

My cat an adult mackerel tabby fits in it fine, he had room to stretch out and sit up. He even pooped in it on the way home from the vets office. Since my use is for vet clinic runs, not extended travel, I'd probably get the next size up give your dog extra room so you could add bedding and such.

We fill the 10 pound holder with kibble, and our cat still happily consumes the dregs at the end. I can't say I have specifically tested the "freshness" for myself, however. The main thing to realize about the set-up with the large holder is that the entire unit becomes top-heavy when filled to the brim. We needed to brace the back using a 2X4 and a bracket that fits around the top of the holder. Even with having to make this modification, my husband and I would recommend this to anyone. Our cat cannot reach her paw inside and "steal" food, which was the problem with the $50 pet store auto-feeders.
