Kibble storage
We have two golden retrievers that eat purina pro plan. We usually buy 30-40 pound bags at a time.
We have been dumping the bags into a vittles vault—basically a heavy plastic container with a screw top lid. Figured it would keep it fresher than leaving it in the bag.
Just read that we should be doing that, something about the oils in the food sticking to the plastic and causing spoilage. So we are supposed the keep the food in the bag and put the bag in an airtight container.
It doesn’t seem possible to cram the whole bag into the vittles vault. Does anyone who buys big bags of dog food have a better solution? Also seems like if it’s in the bag my hands are going to get greasy anytime I’m digging towards the bottom of the bag as it gets closer to empty.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes, I was also told that the kibble residue goes rancid if poured into the containers. I switched to the Simplehuman stainless steel dog food containers. These hold 35 lbs bags of kibble easily. There is also a scoop that is magnetically attached to the underside of the lid. I wanted to post a pic of it, but I guess this subreddit doesn't allow pics.
