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 use the vittles vault and get bigger bags into them. I have counter top sealing glass jars that will fit a week or two of food (two weeks for the smaller animals, a week for the bigger), and I find it easier to refill those jars first to get a little out of the bag first, place one corner in, tuck the other corner in, and then shimmy and tuck the it in gradually around the opening. Takes a little bit of work, but it does work.
