[nagdu] dogfood keeper

When I had one, I loved it! Just don't twist the top to tight though
because you'll never get back in that bad boy! You'll have to get
someone, a man likely , to open it back up. Just twist until you feel
resistance. It creates a nice dependable vacuum when closed and
keepsthe food all nice and fresh. Yes it is short, but I am too. It
has built-in handles so it is easy to move and packs a great punch in
a small space. I think mine held 40 or 50 pounds of food. Petsmart now
has some other ones that are okay too but I want something similar but
with wheels when I get a bigger dog. Not sure if the Vittles vaults
are smaller than I had and the only reason I bought a different
petfood container is because they acted like there weren't any in the
store. You can easily scoop out the food without any waste because any
excess just drops right back in. Anyway the other pet food containers
are rectangularish with a handle on one side to aid in pouring. There
is a big top that you can open to scoop food out of and on that big
top is a spout if you prefer pouring. The one I had held 15 pounds of
food minus the bag and was around $22. There might be bigger ones, not
sure and I know there are smaller ones like that. Sorry don't know
what it was called. I don't have it anymore because stray animals came
around hear and got hold of it and destroyed it. guess I'll be on the
hunt again depending on what type dog I get next so I'm interested in
what others have to pitch in.
