Because your dog is plotting how to break into their stash.

Your pet wants you to read our newsletter. (Then give them a treat.)
It’s a classic scene: A bag of dog food lies open on the ground, surrounded by a pool of loose kibble. Was this the work of your mischievous dog or a common house mouse, which, despite their lesser tendencies, remain one of nature’s cuter creatures (don’t @ me). This discovery leads to a host of new anxieties including, but not limited to, the sight of flies, fear of impending cockroaches, and growing suspicion you’ve secretly always wanted a mouse ever since seeing Stuart Little in second grade. Regardless, there’s a simple fix to avoid facing these existential conundrums — buy a better dog food container. Thankfully, you have plenty of options and we rounded them all up. You’re welcome.
Btw, our editors (and their pets) picked out these products. They’re always in stock at the time we publish, but there’s a chance they’ll sell out. If you do buy through our links, we may earn a commission. (We’ve got a lot of toys to buy over here, you know?)
Look, it’s not always a bad thing to be basic. Buy the big container that’s simple and easy to store, albeit basic. But maybe stop Tweeting about your latte.
