    Where do you store your dog's food and toys?

    Where do you store your dogs food, treats, toys, supplies, etc.? I need a room just for dog stuff!

    This is an unfinished room where Reggie sleeps and its where we put all of the dog food. I bought these containers for Nebo that work pretty well. The bottom one has the dog food, and the top one is filled with about every kind of rawhide and chews imaginable.

    Here are a few containers that are in our kitchen filled with dog treats...the sad thing is, this is not even half of the amount of dog treats I have for them, lol. I even have dog treats in my room!

    And the toys...well, this isn't all of them either. There's always a few scattered about the house and in my room. There's toys behind the box too. I think I need to buy some sort of big storage container, the box is pretty ugly.

    The toys are usually scattered all over the house, but we **TRY** to keep them all in the den, in this laundry basket. I'm still looking for a cute container to store them in, but can't find one.

    Treats, bones, etc.. are stored in the kitchen, and various rooms of the house.

    Grooming supplies, shampoo, etc..are stored in the laundry room, in a cabinet up above.

    Wolf_Q, why don't you make a simple wooden box that looks like a square chest. you can use your art skills & paint it with Nebo & reggie & doggy things. I'd think it would look great & it will be alot cheaper then buying on that doesn't match your room.

    Geez, PT dogs aren't spoiled at all, are they??

    Here's Ruby's food container:


    This holds her nail clippers, treats, burshes, etc...


    Her bandannas and doggy perfume


    She keeps *most* of her toys in this basket, but I swear she has toys stashed in every room of the house


    We used to keep her dry dog treats in little jars like this (they're actually still in them right now) Buuuut...


    my boyfriend's mom bought Ruby this treat jar for Christmas!

    I'm looking through my photos trying to find the perfect photo to put in it

    Thanks for the signature & avatar kfamr

    Food is in a container in the babinets, along with the many many bags of treats we have.
    When the food in the container runs out, the big bag of it is in an airtite thing in the garage.
    Toys are all kept in a basket WHEN someone feels like picking them all up. They're usually scattered about the house, and in the yard...
    I'll take pics later.

    I keep Binx and the kitties food in this little room that is between my kitchen and the steps leading upstairs. Since the upstairs isn't finished, I have no real need to access this area. It serves as a pantry.

    His toys? They are largely in this huge wicker basket..and some are in the yard, in the neigbor's yard, in the car....

    And the cats? Theirs are in baskets through out the house, except for the odd mousie that is ALWAYS under my foot first thing in the am..

    My bf stores his food in the bag it comes in, wide open...don't you think that makes the food stale? He does it with both dog and cat food. I hate it...

    Timber's and Leather's toys are all over the place, but I plan on making a toy box next year.

    Timber's treats are in a jar on the counter, and her food is in a big green container in our cubicle.

    At my other house where Leather is, her food is in the bag in the closet, and her treats are in the box in the closet.

    We have food bins like the one's Amy posted for the dog food, a bone like she posted for toys (although they don't all fit!) and another bone on the porch for leashes, outdoor toys etc. Treats, nail clippers, ear cleaner, etc, etc is all under the kitchen sink.

    Mickey's toys are usually scattered throughout the house but, like Julie, we TRY to keep them in his toybox which is right next to his cage. But sometimes he'll go in, pull one out and just leave it in any room and leave.

    His food stays in these plastic containers (like Linsay's) and his treats are kept in the cupboards.

    Food is in an airtight rubbermaid container that holds about 25lbs of food. We have one of those 2 ft wide, 3 drawer rolling carts made by rubbermaid that holds leashes in the top drawer, brushes, grooming stuff, etc in the second and clothing in the third. They're all so full that when we get something out, it's nearly impossible to close the drawer afterwards.

    Christmas antlers, bandanas and toys are in the containers with the Xmas decorations.

    Toys that are currently in use are kept in Chester's old "cuddle cup" that he used to sleep in during the day when he was a puppy, though they are always pulled out and scattered about the house and yard. (We rotate toys once a month so that they don't get bored with them, and the ones not in use are in a container in the closet.)

    Toothbrushes & toothpaste are in the kitchen cabinet and cookies are in the pantry and on the counter in a cookie jar. Rawhides and other chewies take up 2 different drawers.

    Sheesh! We need a bigger house!

    Talk about being spoiled! Lol. My boys are on their way to being spoiled..not quite there yet.

    Poop bags

    Food bucket, water bowl and the rest of their food that wouldn't fit in the bucket.


    All the store bought treats on top of Kai's crate (all the homemade ones are in the fridge). On the side are some of their old/extra collars.

    well we dont have half as many toys as you guys do there is no point they destroy all there toys in a few minuts anyway so what they have left of there toys we just leave wherever the hack they happen to leave it, the dogs meat is in the bottom of the fridge(a designated spot for the thawed stuff) and the rest is either in the fridge freezer, or the deep freeze. the veggies are on the other half the the bottom of the fridge(with a seperator to prevent the blood from the meat contaminating the veggies since the critters eat the veggies to) umm the treats we just cut up chicken weiners, but the cookies they win at tournys go in a dog cookie jar I won. um the supplements are just wherever they need to be. we dont have piles of treats as we prefere to keep them off any commercal pet products.
