Should I keep dog food in the bag inside a storage container?
Leaving kibble in its original bag inside a container is recommended by vets to keep things clean and prevent oils from going rancid. However, large bulk bags often only fit if you empty them directly into the container, forcing owners to choose between container cleanliness and proper food storage.
