Help!!

I am dire need of storage for dry pet food. I'm looking at getting a plastic kitchen bin, but I'd like something prettier if possible.

Can anyone help? It needs to be a box rather then a bag as the bag isn't safe enough from hungry woofs!

We use a kitchen bin, it works perfectly apart from dd having just learnt how to get into it. Now our already well build dogs are fed several times a day!

Can I ask what size bin, and how much kibble does it hold?

We have a large swing bin which holds a 15kg bag (one of the big ones) of dry food. It is not pretty, but luckily we have a utility room to hide it in

OK, bin dimensions (very roughly). Standard silver cheap big from ASDA 55cm high x 35cm x 28cm will fit a 15kg bag of dog food. Can't remember, but probably cost about £5 I think.
