How airtight is this container? Can you give me an idea of time frames for keeping dog food fresh?

They aren't as airtight as I thought they would be.I still like them.I store our dog and cat food in them and the food still smells fresh.

It has an okay seal. The 50lb bags of kibble I put in it stay crunchy until the end. The smaller door seems incredibly flimsy, you do not really get a positive seal feedback when you close it. You kind of learn when it is sealed. Overall it's an okay product for light use, if you were going in and out of it multiple times a day I'm not sure it would hold up. The large and small door do have gaskets so there is a seal but other than that I haven't really tested it.

I buy a 20 pound bag if dog food about every 6 to 8 weeks. Just as fresh at the end as the beginning

I don't store dry food in mine. I use it for office supplies. The seal isn't air proof.

This is dry dog food and the bag is sealed very well. As long as it's kept dry should last up to a year.

I have never put food in them so I can't answer that. Airtight, perhaps, but not watertight, I am sure. it is plastic to plastic base to lid.

I don't recall that the seal was "airtight" once opened, and the inside did not have an extra lining. It seemed to "keep" very well, but I supposed you could break it up and vacuum seal what isn't used in the near term.

If you store food in it it will stay put. If you don't store food in it you could fill it with sandbox sand or some rocks. I love this product. Remember to remove the water bowl when you fill it and wipe out where the bowl goes. You should clean out your pet bowls every day. Some people complained about a smell. I have never had a problem and I have owned my first one for 10 years. It is still going strong.

I'm not really sure as I keep mine in the cupboard. I would guess that it would be ok since it is airtight, but the only way to know for sure would be to try it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I store opened and unopened bags in an airtight container for months. If you're worried about it try storing bags in the freezer.

Only if you put a new one in each time you opened it. I can see where it may be benficial to put pet food in many jars (because with the uncertainties in our nation right now, we are 3 days from empty shelves at the grocery store) with an oxygen absorber in each one. This way you could maintain long-term emergency food for the animals as well as yourself. To all who read this, PLEASE have at least a year's food and water stored.

It is not airtight, but I believe it will keep out bugs. At least no bugs have gotten in mine

Hey hey�❗️Well, I wouldn't say this is an air tight container. Top fits pretty securely in my opinion but not blocking out air completely though. No seal of any kind. Just good coverage for a good pan. I think you'll like it. I so kindly hope this helps u. Toodle-loo�

If it is a small dog the container will hold probably a cup of wet food. I usually put a 3 oz container of food for my cat and it would hold probably another 3 oz can with a little more room left. My cat is very happy with it and so am I, he thinks 4:30 to 5:00 am is the perfect time to eat. You can set the timer for up to 24 hours I believe I just set so it goes off at his perfect meal time. Hope this is helpful

Airtight, no - absolutely not. It is not good for storing hazardous chemicals or stinky dead animals.

It is not totally air tight. I don't fill it up completely, so I'm adding beans every few days. Having said that, I've never had an issue with freshness.

My container doesnt expire until 6-16. As for refrigerating, I'm not sure about that. It says to avoid moisture and store below 77 degrees. I have mine in a cool dark place in my pantry. If you do want to refrigerate it, I would be sure to double wrap it or something.
