The nightstand actually came in a pair, and she uses the second one for dog toys on the other side of the room.

  Keep It In a Cabinet or Closet

  

  At the end of the day, a dog food storage solution can be as simple as putting it in a cabinet. If you purchase your dog food in bulk, store it in a lower cabinet or even on a pantry floor. Just be sure you pick an air-tight container to keep it from contaminating your food. Certain dog food storage containers feature wheels on the bottom, so you can stow it away in a coat closet and wheel it over to the feeding station.
