I do store dry food in a large plastic container on wheels. TOTW only comes in 15 lb bags as the largest so we go through that fairly quickly. And that's good b/c it doesn't get stale.

Water only goes in stainless... with the exception of the pet fountain. Can't get around that. Their dry is in stainless, too. Their wet is off of china or glass. I found they don't like "licking" their wet food off of the stainless. Must be a residual taste of metal.

I wonder....maybe stainless steel containers? They are expensive though.
That comment about leaching from plastic has been haunting me so.....

I've done it! Gone to pyrex for the storage of the daily use kibbles. There are currently four kinds in use, but once certain brands are used up, there will be two kinds, Mazy's c/d and the Innova kitten and cat for the other three (as snacks, Tolly Jennie and Queen Eva are on a canned diet.)

Then I will have two extra, so that when one is being washed (between fillings) another can be used.

Whoohoo!

Now, I just have to be careful to never hold them above "free space", just keep them always above the counter, so if I drop them they won't drop far.

^ I forgot all about the pyrex bowls (with lids) that I have up in the cabinet. Probably because I only use them occasionally.
