DIY Dog Food Storage
3 simple ideas

My first idea is to make a plastic carrying case to create a raised dog feeder with storage space. I show you how to do this in my video guide above, but it’s a pretty simple process. The size of the plastic carrier bag depends on the amount of dog food you buy at one time.

I buy dog ​​food in 25lb bags. I use a 32 ounce plastic carrier bag, which leaves plenty of room for the dog food and bowls. You should choose a carrier bag that is the right size for the amount of food and the size of your dog’s food bowls.

Trace the edge of your dog’s food bowls onto the lid of the carrying case. Cut a circle just slightly smaller than the rim of the bowl. This creates a small lip that holds the bowl in place. You can remove the lid to access the food.

If you are handy with woodworking tools or know someone who is, you should wooden box of a similar design (like the one in the photo above). You could make an access door on the side of the box or have a liftable lid.

My third idea for storing dog food is to have a plastic or metal trash can with a lid. This is a very simple idea, but you can dress up the trash can with custom stickers or some paint markers (like these).

Even the best, highest quality dog ​​food, if stored incorrectly, can develop bacteria, go rancid, develop mold or become contaminated with rodents and insects. These DIY dog food storage containers protect your pet’s food and match the decor of your home.
