FAQ

What type of pet food is this container best suited for?

This 6.5L container is primarily designed for dry kibble. Wet food can easily spill and cause unpleasant messes, so it’s not recommended.

How easy is the container to clean?

The container is made from a smooth, wipeable plastic, making cleaning very straightforward. Simply rinse with warm water and mild soap – avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.

Will this container help keep my pet food fresh?

Yes, the airtight seal helps to minimise exposure to air and moisture, which are key factors in food spoilage. This will significantly extend the shelf life of your pet’s dry food.

Is the base stable? My cat is quite a climber!

The base features a wide, flat design for enhanced stability. While we can't guarantee it won't be tipped over by an exceptionally determined feline, it's significantly more resistant to tipping than shallower containers.

Can I use this container with multiple pet food brands?

Yes, you can certainly switch between different dry kibble brands. However, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the container before introducing a new brand to prevent any lingering flavours affecting your pet's taste.

What is the material of the container made from?

The container is constructed from durable BPA-free plastic. This ensures it’s safe for your pets and doesn’t leach harmful chemicals into their food.

How much does this 6.5L container weigh?

The container typically weighs between 400g and 500g, depending on the manufacturer. Check the product packaging for exact specifications before purchasing.

Is it dishwasher safe?

While not specifically designed for dishwasher use, you can hand wash it in warm soapy water. Avoid placing it directly under a strong spray stream as this could damage the plastic.

What size is the opening for scooping food?

The container features a wide opening – approximately 15cm - making it easy to scoop out the desired amount of kibble with standard scoops or measuring cups.
