The Best Pet Food Storage


 Pet food is something that is usually purchased in bulk. After the bag has been opened and a portion has been served, what is one to do with the unused product? There are several factors to consider. While it may seem like a no-brainer, a pet-owner needs to consider their dry pet food storage options. Possibly the most important factor is that insects, rodents or even your dog could get back into the unsecured bag of food when you aren't looking. There are lots of different solutions to this potential problem. Excess dog food can be stored in a dog feeder, a wall-mounted dispenser or in some storage bins.

Pet food storage is something that all dog and cat owners have to consider. Even if you aren't worried about other critters getting onto the food, it will still eventually go stale unless it is kept in something air-tight. The food needs to be securely stowed somewhere dry that is out of the sunlight.

One solution for this is to load all of the food into a dog feeder. That way the food is always more or less, "in place." If a dog feeder is what you have in mind, be sure that you get one that serves out specific portions and not one that just constantly unloads. There are dog feeders on the market with portion control devices on them. With this kind of dry pet food storage you only have to deal with the bulk amount of food once.

Another example is solution is a wall-mounted dog food dispenser. It mounts to the wall and will hold 40 lbs of food. The Bergan model of the mounted food dispenser is a good example of this type of dog food storage. At a distance, it doesn't look like it can or will actually hold 40 lbs. It holds the product well and food can be dispensed in controlled serving sizes from the bottom.

The simplest of solutions is to use a plastic container. Most pet owners would agree that the container needs to be stronger than just, "kitchen-grade." There are dry pet food storage containers for most quantities of food. They tend to start at the 5 lb range and work their way to the top. The Bergan Stack N Store Dog Food Storage bin actually gets to a holding size of a whopping 79 lbs. This is the type of storage that you could consider for your garage. All that is needed is a scoop.

Excess food stores well in a dog feeder, a wall-mounted dispenser or in storage bins. There are many methods for keeping your pet's food safe, but the main issue is containing all of the product.

If you are purchasing pet food in bulk, it is wise to get the best dry pet food storage [http://www.pet-food-storage.com/] available. At West Coast Pet Supply [http://www.westcoastpetsupply.com/] we have all of the products you need to keep you and your pet healthy and content.

Private Dog Parks: Can Be The Safe Choice

Image
  With an increasing number of serious incidents being reported at dog parks, I want to introduce the safe alternative that a well-run private dog park can provide. You will find that a properly designed and managed private dog park is a dramatically different experience than what you have read about or have witnessed in public parks. A privately run dog park can properly screen, staff and enforce park regulations. We do caution you that even with the information you will gain from this article, please know that any dog park is not regulated, so we encourage everyone to do their homework before visiting any dog park to ensure it is right for you and your dog. The current trend is that community and homeowner associations are responding to community demand by setting aside a small plot of their land for a public dog park. Unfortunately these unmanaged and unregulated fenced areas often turn to that of neighbor confrontation, injury and horror, even with the best of intending groups and

  Buying a best dog crate may seem quite simple. Run into a giant pet store, pick out the cheapest item and then check out. The author's advice - bring your dog, take your time, and consider the following minimum requirements. Remember that a best dog crate without these requirements will impede house training. House breaking a dog demands that you have the right tools. The following are the crate requirements: Get the right size crate for the grown up version of the puppy. This gets difficult if you have a mutts because it's an inexact science to predict the full-grown size of a mixed breed dog. As puppies, Alvin and Simon, both Cockapoos, were forecast to be 15 and 20 pounds, respectively. As grown dogs, they are 23 and 31 pounds. We got a small crate for dogs under 25 pounds. Simon does not fit in this crate. Be aware that the dog may use the crate when he is full-grown. If it becomes his refuge, he may want to sleep in it forever. Make sure the crate comes with dividers.
