Which size should I order for 30 lbs. of dog food? The specifications are confusing.
904523
Alas! It all depends on the size of the kibble. Bigger kibble means more airspace.
904524
Yes. We get 29-30 lbs at a time so we purchased the 47 quart. We pour it directly into the container. Hope this helps!

I would order the 69 qt. if you want to keep the food in the bag and place the whole bag in the container; the container was too small to do this with a 40lb bag of food. I had to just pour the food into the container. If you're going to pour the food directly into the container, you could go with a smaller size.

Just received the 47 qt size and it is too small. I tried to pour a 25 lb bag of puppy chow in and it would not all fit in the container, even though it states on the side of the container that it would hold 37+ lbs of dog food. I am now going to order the larger one and use this one for something else.

I got the large which says for 50 pounds. I put 35 pounds in it and it fills 3/4 full

Check the weight range on the package, it should be listed in the description. I would think medium to be sufficient, but make sure first. If the weight is not listed, check you local pet store to be sure.

I bought the 50 pound size, and a 35 pound of dog food fills it about half-full.

I would suggest a medium for your dog. My dog is only 7 lbs and a small carrier is just right for him.

I have a small York i used this for. The size of her. Dog food is the size of a dime or little less

I have a medium that I use as a travel crate for my 55 lb lab.I originally ordered the large but it is huge.

In my opinion, you need extra large. I have two Large size pet carriers. My dogs are 10 and 13 pounds. I think for a 30 pound dog you need the jumbo size. Both for sleeping room and height. He might be able to squeeze in to the large but it would be a tight fit. Hope this helps

Depends on how the dog food is sized; something in big chunks will weigh less than something that is tiny. Also, the content of dog foods will slightly alter the weight. I buy 30# bags of a senior dog mix and store it in two of the Bergan Stack-N-Stor 40's. I don't know what the 40 stands for -- my guess at the time I bought them was that it stood for and internal capacity of 40 cubic inches. I hope this has been a helpful answer and doesn't sound too pedantic.

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.

I would go with the mini. My 30 lb beagle uses the large and it takes him a long time to eat.

We can fit a 5 pound bag of dog food in each jar. It is tight and it's possible that some brands might not fit as well as others, but so far we haven't had any problems and we've had them for years.

It is like a mini-room for my 60 pd. puppy. The lock is secure yet simple to operate. Well ventilated with windows on all sides and tall enough for my dog to stand comfortably. I would not hesitate to recommend it. (Have not used it for airline travel-only as a home kennel) Update: My dog is now 88 pounds (german shepherd/border collie) and extremely muscular. He has not defeated the latch system. Plenty of room for him to stand and move within the crate. Fourteen months old and Kennel looks and functions just as it did on day one. I am purchasing a second one for my golden retriever puppy.

I would contact blue buffalo company for exact measurement and get a five dollar off coupon at the same time, the 30lb bag says 22% for crude protein, suggest 3 cups a day for 60lb dog.MARI just know my dogs are doing so well on this food we wouldn't' think of changing.

Approximately 30 lbs had a partial 50 lb bag when I received it and I am sure the size of the kibble will make a difference as well.

Hello, yes .. They are approximately 15.25"X15"X12.25 (this is the small one you are looking at) so depending on the kind of dog food just picture the size... Different types of food has different weight. In general terms, this size container can hold about 5-7 lbs, maybe more.

My Scottie weighs 22 1/2 lbs but has a large girth so I got him the medium. The weight was within the limits but on the lower end. Be sure to measure the girth and stay in the lb range. My Duncan had a very big chest-that is where I measured. Be sure to click on "show more" and it will show lbs. and girth. L-For dogs with a girth of 26-inch-35-inch and weighing 40-70-pounds, For dogs with a girth of 31-inch-42-inch and weighing 70-90-pounds. So, I got a medium according to girth with nearly 30 lbs left to go in weight but it fits him fine. Please go by girth or I doubt it would be safe. There are 3 straps on bottom to tighten and then clip. Good luck! My Scottie weighs 22 1/2 lbs but has a large girth so I got him the medium. The weight was within the limits but on the lower end.

My dog is 6 lbs and i give him the petite or small size ... the petite he eats extremely fast because they are very small and softer so i prefer the small size and what i do is i break them in 2 pieces this way they last longer. For a 30 lbs dog i would recommend the small size to medium not the petite - they are way too small in my opinion and because of a choking hazard but as fast as long lasting. my dog is also a big chewer so the longer a treat lasts the better it is in my opinion to keep him occupied.
