Kevin – By far, the funniest response I’ve had. My husband is excited to have someone on his side.

Maybe he could patent it, find someone to manufacture it in bulk, put it on the market and make a fortune??

Being a guy, I can’t help but immediately like the food containment unit your husband found. It’s an elegant solution to the problem and even some problems that haven’t been brought up — like how annoying it can be to have to manually scoop the food each day!

Maybe it’s not the simplest or cheapest solution… but it is easily up there among the best solution.

Promise me… that in the future… you will let him make something this cool. I am tempted to make one myself right now… and I already have a container for food… and I am going to be giving away my cat because my GF is allergic… so I won’t even have a need.

This container looks to good to be true.
clever, what will the dog think of that?
I read once of a dog’s food manufacturer that paid a lot of money for focus groups and survays to check if people liked the design of the food bags, but sold very little because he forgot to do the same focus groups for the food itself. Apparently the dogs didn’t like the taste…

What a thoughtful husband! I can’t believe he put that much thought into a dog food container. What a guy : ) Glad you found a free alternative!

Wow that is some dog food container! Free is better though.

I think your husband should get an A+ for effort! We have a chow chow and a golden retriever and buy the 50 lb. bags of dog food at Sam’s Club. We store the food in a metal trash can with a tight fitting lid in our heater room. We used to get occasional mice coming in for the food but this solved that problem.

Having two large dogs has kept the food from ever getting moldy. They eat it too fast for it to get moldy!

Money Beagle is right – Tim the Toolman Taylor would love it. Put some wheels on it, too!

Awesome. You need to have mom (mom needlepoints, right?) make you a little wall hanging that says KISS in big letters and underneath, small “Keep It Simple, Stupid”.
