[nagdu] dogfood keeper

[Tracy Carcione]

Why put in a trash bag?  At TSE, the food was just poured into the Vittles
Vault.  The ad says the plastic is food-safe and BPA-free.

It does if you get the big size. There are a couple sizes. The one I have
holds 50 pounds. That's what it's rated for, and it's a tight fit. 40 isn't
a problem, except that it's heavy.
