If you have pets it's good not to use chemical cleaners in the toilet that can poison your pet. The animals really appreciate it when you give them fresh cold water several times a day rather than setting out one large bowl that gets refilled only when it's empty. I place the dogs water dishes inside of a larger pan or bowl to catch the water that splashes out when they drink. It prevents wet spots on the floor. If you are feeding dry food be sure to keep it in a cool dry place.
Many people use a metal or plastic trash can for storage to prevent bugs and rodents.
If you use this storage method do not pour the contents of the bag into the container itself. These are not food grade containers. Place the bag in the container and after each use close the top of the bag securely to keep out air and light. If you store food in a container designed for food storage be sure to empty it and wash it out regularly so the crumbs that are left in the bottom do not turn rancid or moldy.
