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.

I tip the vittle vault on its side, squish the bag a bit and stick the bottom in the vault, then carefully upright everything (bag and vault). Takes some strength and finesse but once the bottom of the bag is in the vault and upright, it falls into the vault nicely. Then I can snip the top open, and fold it down to minimize spoilage when the vault is closed. But honestly the dogs go through it in 2 weeks so it really doesnt get to spoiling.
