All it takes to dress up your pet\u2019s kibble storage spot is a little DIY ingenuity and elbow grease. Here are inspired storage ideas for your pet\u2019s food. Let\u2019s check \u2019em out!<\/p>\n<h3>Before You Get Started<\/h3>\n<p>Our foods remain freshest when stored in a cool, dry location. The food can be stored in the bag, but make sure to protect it from pests that may be attracted to the food (or hungry pets that may take an extra meal). Many customers choose to dump the food into an airtight bin or container.<\/p>\n<p>This is certainly a reasonable way to store the food, but make sure to follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li data-gc-list-depth=\"1\" data-gc-list-style=\"ordered\">Finish all of the food from one bag before adding another bag into the bin. If you have a small amount left, you can transfer it to a plastic bag so that you can proceed to step #2.<\/li>\n<li data-gc-list-depth=\"1\" data-gc-list-style=\"ordered\">Wash the bin with hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly before adding a new bag of food.<\/li>\n<li data-gc-list-depth=\"1\" data-gc-list-style=\"ordered\">Cut out the production code and \u201cbest before\u201d information from the bag and tape it to the top of the bin so that if you have any questions or concerns, you can provide this information to the customer support department.<\/li>\n<li data-gc-list-depth=\"1\" data-gc-list-style=\"ordered\">Store the bin in a cool, dry location. Extreme heat can cause the food to spoil, and excessive moisture can lead to mold growth in the bin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Use That Empty Cabinet Space<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re putting in new cabinets or have an extra drawer already available, make an out-of-sight (literally) storage option. Oh, and pro tip: we would recommend fitting the drawer with a plastic-lidded container to keep freshness in and pests out.<\/p>\n<h3>DIY Storage Stations<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5586 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diamondpet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/dog-eating-from-raised-food-bowls-012616-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"Dog Eating from Raised Food Bowls | Diamond Pet Foods\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diamondpet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/dog-eating-from-raised-food-bowls-012616-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.diamondpet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/dog-eating-from-raised-food-bowls-012616.jpg 619w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5587 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diamondpet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pet-food-bins-and-dog-bowls-012616-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Pet Food Bins and Dog Bowls on the Kitchen Floor | Diamond Pet Foods\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diamondpet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pet-food-bins-and-dog-bowls-012616-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.diamondpet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pet-food-bins-and-dog-bowls-012616-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.diamondpet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pet-food-bins-and-dog-bowls-012616-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.diamondpet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pet-food-bins-and-dog-bowls-012616.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: addicted2diy.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Even for moderately handy pet owners, building your own storage station is kind of a snap.
