Decorative pet food storage containers have a certain appeal especially for those whose pet food containers are in plain sight. There are so many different kinds of decorative pet food storage bins that one can even make their own, with the right materials and supplies. The idea of a decorative pet food storage bin is to be able to utilize the bin is such a way that it does not look out of place in the kitchen or the area where it is stored.
Small Bins
The size of the decorative pet food storage bin is dependent on what kind of pet one has. Owners of the smaller varieties of pet birds do not need to store too much bird feed since small birds do not eat as much. Owners of small pet birds usually buy bird feed by pack which may reach up to about two to three liters each pack. These can fit well enough in a small decorative pet food storage container which can be placed just beside the bird cage or near it.
These smaller bins can be made from ceramic or plastic and feature bird forms or statues which are hollow. Another suggestion for a container for wellness pet food or any other kind of pet food is a small wooden barrel that keeps pests and pets away from the food. The wooden barrel can be placed on top a countertop or on a small table. Cookie jars can also double as containers for small amounts of pet food. There are also wall mounted containers that are very attractive and doubles as a wall decoration.
Large Bins
Dogs are the animals that require larger amounts of food. This means that dog owners must buy dog food by sacks of 30 kilograms or more. Storing this much pet food needs a bigger decorative pet food storage bin. Some pet owners use wooden seats which are hollow inside as decorative pet food storage containers. Other decorative pet food storage bins may be tin cans with printed sides. These can be piled up or placed together beside a wall. The idea is to fill the tin cans with the dog food so that not all containers need to be opened when it is feeding time. This helps to preserve the food longer.
Whichever decorative pet food storage bins appeal to the pet owner, the important thing to look for in a storage bin is its ability to lock in the freshness of the food and its durability.
