This robust 54L / 20kg plastic pet food storage container is designed to keep your furry friend's meals fresh and organised. Constructed from durable, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, it’s built to withstand daily use and resist odour build-up – a key concern when storing dry pet food.

The generous 54 litre capacity provides ample space for several weeks’ worth of kibble, reducing the frequency of refills. The robust construction ensures stability, preventing tipping or spills, particularly beneficial for homes with active pets. Its simple design allows for easy cleaning and maintains your kitchen tidy.

Ideal for feeding cats and smaller dogs, this storage container offers a practical solution to keep your pet’s food secure and readily accessible. It's suitable for both indoor and outdoor use (protected from direct sunlight), maintaining optimal food quality and freshness. Please note that while the plastic is resistant to most common pet foods, it’s recommended to clean regularly to prevent long-term build-up.

FAQ

What type of pets is this suitable for?

This container is designed primarily for storing dry food for cats and smaller dog breeds. While larger dogs might consume a significant amount, the 20kg capacity should still be sufficient for shorter periods.

Is the plastic food-safe?

Yes, this storage container is manufactured from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) plastic which is recognised as a food-grade material. It’s BPA-free and won't leach harmful chemicals into your pet’s food.

How easy is it to clean?

Cleaning is straightforward – simply wash with warm water and mild soap. Ensure you rinse thoroughly before use to remove any soapy residue that could affect the taste or smell of the food.

Can this container be used outdoors?

While durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade the plastic over time. We recommend storing it in a shaded area or bringing it indoors during particularly hot weather to maintain its integrity.

What size is the base of the container?

The base diameter is approximately 45cm (17.7 inches), providing a stable footprint and preventing tipping, especially when filled with food.

Is this container stackable?

This particular model isn’t designed for stacking due to its robust construction and the potential for instability if stacked repeatedly. However, you could use shelving units for storage.

How durable is the plastic?

The HDPE plastic is quite strong and resistant to cracking or breaking under normal usage. Avoid dropping heavy objects onto it or subjecting it to extreme temperatures which might compromise its integrity.

Does the lid seal tightly?

The lid features a secure locking mechanism designed to minimise food spillage and prevent pests from accessing the container. Ensure the lock is fully engaged before storing.

What’s the weight of the empty container?

The empty container weighs approximately 2.5kg, so you'll need to factor this into the total weight when calculating storage space requirements.

Can I use this for wet pet food?

While technically possible, we don’t recommend using this container for storing wet pet food long-term due to potential odour build-up and difficulty in cleaning. It's best suited for dry kibble.
