simplehuman X-Large Pet Food Storage Can

The problem

A torn bag of kibble sitting on the kitchen counter leaks smell, attracts ants, and lets the food go stale within a week. Most plastic bins do not seal properly and end up smelling worse than the bag they replaced. The problem is worse in warm kitchens and open-plan spaces where the feeding area is visible. If your food storage lives in a garage or utility room and appearance does not matter, a basic plastic bin with a clip lid does the same job for a quarter of the price.

What tends to help

The can uses a silicone-rimmed lid that creates an airtight seal when closed, locking out moisture, ants, and odour more effectively than snap-fit plastic. The brushed stainless body resists fingerprints and wipes down in seconds. A built-in scoop holder on the underside of the lid keeps the scoop off the counter — a small detail, but one that most pet-food containers overlook entirely.

A straight answer: The X-Large holds roughly 27 litres, but check your kibble bag volume before ordering — a 15 kg bag of large-breed food may not fit.

Wet food?

This line targets dry kibble; wet food needs fridge storage instead.
