Could I use this for a dry dog food container?

Yes I am sure when it gets low you'll have to take lid off, it is a nice container whatever you use it for.

I have no clue why you'd want to. It's for dog food. I highly doubt it though. Wouldn't risk it. Plastic leaches nasty chemicals when heated like that.

Why would you want too. It has a hard removal liner for easy cleaning and excellent sealing that maintains the freshness of the dog food. If you want to dump the dog food why spend the money?

Save your money! I put the food in this container still in the bag and it went stale very quickly as this item is NOT airtight. The Vittles Vault is the only pet food container that I have found that is truly air-tight. Hope that helps.

It could work with a wet/dry mixture. My dog has to get his tongue down in the grooves to get his dry kibble anyway. You might have to pack it in though, rather than drop it on top.

You could put food in the bowl/bottom part under the rack. It does however get very full of small bits of hay as they pull hay out of the rack part so might not catch as much hay or the hay might cover the food. If you want to use it just as a food bowl it would work, but there are better food bowl only options out there.

I don't know for sure...but I'm guessing so because they have a double rim. I use them for a 13 oz dog food,(seems like a standard sized can), on the inner rim. I think the outer rim is for a 5 oz can, which is wider.

Can't see any reason why not. The container is strong enough. I hadn't thought of that use but it sounds like a great idea.

I have used for it for a mix of wet and dry and it works fine. I smear the wet on top of the dry or drop it in the grooves with a spoon. My dog makes sure that the bowl is sparkling when he is done, he does not leave one spec of food!

Absolutely, yes. We use it for dog food and it works and carries around beautifully. Just make sure the side locks are properly snapped into place and you're good to go.

I don't see why not...as long as it's all dry contents -- you don't want to get the unit wet. But yes, this would make a handy way to shift around a larger amount of foodstuffs in the pantry...Hey, now you've given me a new organizing idea! ;-)

I use mine for dog food, but I don't see why you couldn't use for garbage. Not sure how bag would fit inside. Simplehuman sells trash cans though so I might check those out first.

Yes, I believe you could put almost any dry food in these containers. The wheel attached to the dispenser knob is made of thick but slightly flexible rubber that stays flush to the sides of the container as it turns, so even finely ground foods won't fall out (except the portion you want to dispense), and the contents remain relatively air-tight. I have stored nut flour in mine.

I have several of these and use them for dog food, cat food, chicken feed...but all indoors. They still work great after years of use. I can't imagine storing any animal food outdoors in such heat though. It probably wouldn't be great for the container and would be worse for the feed. Sounds like you would be cooking the stuff. Do you have to keep it outdoors?

I do not believe this is intended for food. We are not using it for food. This company does make other containers that are designed for food.

It would be easy to secure a plastic bag inside of it. I don't know what size because I just use it for dog food.

It easily holds 25 lbs dog food out of the bag. You may have to smash the bag in to get it to fit as the container is shorter and wider than a bag of food.
