Do you store pet food in its original bag inside this container? Or just pour it out into the Vittles Vault?

I pour it in. The container seems to be well sealed if the top is screwed on all the way as the food stays fresh, has that just opened aroma and the manufacturer states it is ant proof. I don't use the scoop that came with the container as it is rather flimsy but the wide top opening makes it easy to scoop the correct amount.

I just pour it in, otherwise it wouldn't fit all the food. It's supposed to be food grade plastic, so I think its safe enough.

Just dont crank the lid down tight. They're designed to spin the lid down, and once it stops on its own it's sealed.

I suppose you can do either,depending on what size bag it is versus what size container you purchase.I would highly recommend buying a vittles vault! They are GREAT! They are alot easier to deal with on a daily basis,than bags.They are suppose to keep food fresher,which means more healthy for the animal.I take them at their word,cuz how would we really know?ANYWAY I hope this helps.I would also say you should get one size up.I read that in someones review,and it seems like a smart idea....UNLESS ofcourse you are short on space. :-)

I pour it out. I thing getting a 15 lb bag of food into the container bag and all would be pretty tough to do.

Empty the bag of dog food into the Vittles Vault. We are very happy with our VV.

If I recall correctly, mine came in a sort of heavy duty big envelope/bag sort of packaging - no box. The bag of dog food was flattened like when you use one of those vacuum seal bags. Product contents were fine though.

After reading the other responses, I will just add that this container will take the entire contents of a 3 pound bag of cat food. ... I should say Fancy Feast, anyway. It will take a whole bag of that without any leftover in the bag. That's why I bought it. I feel like it keeps the food fresher than leaving it in the bags, even the re-sealable ones. Although I can't be sure..not having done any taste testing of my own.. and my cats aren't talking, so I'm just going on my feelings with that one.

with a bag sealer....same way you close the food storage bag after placing the correct amount of absorbers in.

You need to order the foodsaver baggies. There is a cut out that you attach the vacuum to in order to pull out the air. Depending on what you put in them they can be washed, dried well and reused i.e. Veggies, baked goods. I wouldn't reuse bags that had any meat, fish or poultry due to potentional cross contamination. Hope this helps.

I put mine in a ziplock bag with one of the dry pack or desiccants packet, like the one's you see if you buy jerky in the store. I make my jerky soft and chewy so the moisture pack control the moisture inside so that mold etc doesn't occur if the jerky lasts that long. You can always freeze your jerky after you are finished and pull out what you needs as well if you keep it for a long time. Hope this helps enjoy.

I put my dog's dog food in the jug. It is small enough to come out of the opening at the neck of the jug. I suppose you can use any food or treats that are small enough to fit through the neck.

I store mine in a plastic bag in a cupboard. It's been kept that way from several months with no problems.

I place the food inside a disposable bag (use the pressure-sealable, not zip type). Place the disposable bag with the food inside the the vacuum bag, leaving it unsealed on one end. Then vacuum seal the bag. The inside bag will seal as the air is vacuumed out, while protecting the expensive vacuum bag from becoming contaminated. It extends the life of the vacuum bags. Don't remove the vacuum bag because the disposable type will not hold the vacuum seal by itself.

I purchased an airtight pet food storage container. I keep that in the house.

I would think you could do that easily enough. I store a large scoop and the dog's dish all inside the container with room to spare.

I have stored it overnight, however, what I usually do is cool what is left over in the refrigerator, then I cut it into pieces and wrap in plastic wrap then place into a freeqer bag. I have been doing this and it is always delicious. Good luck, Andi

It is in a large plastic bag WITH TWO SNAPS ON EITHER SIDE...I keep it in the refrig. well at first it was softer then it is now..the bag was very large...and the way it was cut there are muscle strings that worry me about my poodle (mini) choking on so I pull them out...He likes the taste but I am not sure I will order this item again.....:O(

I do not put it in a bag, I just have it loose in the vegetable crisper drawer, and it really does make a difference in the length of time everything stays fresh.

I store mine in the freezer in airtight containers. Works OK, and it should prevent all nasty critters. Mine hasn't gotten soggy or anything after a few months of this. BTW, I recommend NOT buying this much masa unless you're sure that your needs are awfully high. I'm regretting buying so much. 50 pounds is way more than I expected.

I store the 15lb bag of food in our garage. We go through approximately 1 bag every 2-3 months, and store the food in it's original bag in our garage (Minnesota). I don't seem to have a problem with the food going bad (ie. noticed the consistency or color to change or that our Shitzu shys away from the food)

I use it for cat food. The kibble pieces are small but a 16 lb bag has a fair amount left over that does not fit. I have started using the 25lb vault instead. If I buy 25 lb bags of cat food it is a tight fit in the 25 lb vault. I would buy a larger capacity vault for your dog food.
