does it actually hold 50lbs of dog food?

I dint use the container to hold pet food, rather to hold bird seeds, but it hold the 50 pound bag I put in it. Hope this helps.

No. It says it hold 50 pounds of dog food but it clearly will not hold 50 pounds of Purina Dog Chow. Filled it up and had several pounds left in the bag. I'm thinking, at least for Dog Chow, that it can only hold about 40 pounds. I would order the next size up if you need it to hold 50 pounds.

Mine held a 55 lb bag of barley grain with room to spare but it would depend on the size and density of the dog food on whether 50 lbs of that would fit.

I would say yes , I put my chicken feed in it. I mix two different kinds and each of those are 50 pound bags and I get over half in .

I don't use it for dog food but it is a large container. It holds 50 lbs of rice and beans, but I did not weight that either. If you have very dense dog food I would guess yes. I think others who actually use it for dog food may have more specific answers. Good luck.

Has what looks like plenty of room after I put a 40lb bag in it with what little was left from prior bag. I'd say yes.

No. If the dog food is regular sized kibble, for example Purina Dog Chow, this 50 pound container is not big enough. The 50 pounds is likely accurate if the food pieces are smaller or more dense. I'm bummed because I bought after looking at the responses to this very question. The response of 30 - 35 pounds is accurate for this purpose. I will be returning this and purchasing the next size up to hold my bargain sized (formerly 50lb) 46 pound bag of Purina Dog Chow. And yes, I am disappointed as I am the mother of a teenage boy who seems to revel in any mistakes I make, I don't need any more material for my child to point out how dingy his mother is. I'm patiently waiting for the day when he remembers how smart I am once again.... when does that day come?

Yes! Absolutely ! :) buying the big bags is always so much cheaper and it's nice that my dog food doesn't go stale by the time she gets to the bottom.

I bought this for my dogs toys, so I'm not sure how much food pound wise would fit into this food bin. I will say it's a somewhat large bin, so I'll say a guesstimate of 60 or 70 lbs.

I don't think 50 pounds is too much weight, as the rack is very sturdy, but I am not sure if it wouldn't be better if the top was a bit wider for more stability

Yes, I think it will hold 50 lbs easily. We use a 40 lb. bag in this size vault with plenty of room left over.

I also bought the 67 pound one, and 50 pounds doesn't even fit into that, although it's close. The 40 pound bags for that size are perfect because there's plenty of room for the scoop, and it can still be closed tightly. Given that, the 55 quart would be too small for 50 pounds for sure. My last answer was incorrect... I thought I had the 55 quart container, but I don't. I am sorry about my mistake.

The 75lb dog will probably break the hooks as they are not very strong. If your 50lb dog is strong enough it'll break as well after awhile

I do not use my stackable bins to hold dog food. But the 32 qt container I have for dog food holds 25lbs.

yes but you better weigh down the lid because a raccoon can easily open it; the lid is not screwed on, just kind of plops on top. Rodents like mice cant open it but with the help of a raccoon your dog food is history. Secondly, I don't know if it will hold 50 pounds of dog food; it's a large bin but the other thing to consider is the bottom is hollow; about two inches. I put some heavy things into it and it sagged; I was afraid it would rip the sides so I couldn't use it as intended. Then I put some thin bricks along the bottom and now it works ok. Best to get a screw on cap type with a ground level bottom. Third thing, the aluminum is not as strong like my dad's old trash can this one is kind of cheap and flimsy thin material. Hope this helps.

No, it's not big or sturdy enough for that. Possibly it would hold one 50lbs bag of salt.

I just put a 40 lbs. bag of large kernel dog food in it. It fit the whole bag.

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.

Based on the manufacturer's website, it states that it holds up to 50 bags. Apparently, it holds more based on the previous answers.

It is pretty sturdy. We use it for our microwave, but it would hold considerably more than that. I would guess that you should be ok with about 50 pounds or so on it.

For sure, it does not hold 40# (Science Diet Lite Dog Food). I usually buy the 33# bags and it cannot hold all of it---but it will hold about 3/4 of the bag. Hope this helps you Brittany.

I can not tell you how many pounds of dog food, yet it hold a 20lbs bag of charcoal with room to spare.

I believe it held approx 4 cups of food, not sure because I had to donate it. Never used it. Seems my English bulldog is allergic to metal.

I use this for dry dog bone treats and it holds 14 pounds of large bones. I think it could hold 25 pounds of dry dog food depending on the size of the chunks.
