I already owned one of these (with a blue lid).  I make my dog food in it (the kind that's freeze-dried raw and has to be reconstituted with water for several hours).  I found that since my two dogs eat slightly different versions, I was in need of another one.  I love that it's glass and know that it's always going to be sturdy due to the brand.  The lids fit securely and I never put the lids in the dishwasher (they tend to warp that way).  I highly recommend this product!
