I'm currently using mine for my cat's dry food. I originally bought the smaller 85oz size because the dry food bag says 80 oz on it, but it only fit about half, so I sized up to the next size up I believe the 165oz container. I liked the look of the container though so I kept it anyway and will use it in my kitchen. Just a heads up if you're planning on using anything dry, that the oz reflect fluid oz.
