Does the actual dog food bag fit inside the storage can without having to dump it in? If yes, what size can fit what lb. size of dog food? Thanks!

Why would you want too. It has a hard removal liner for easy cleaning and excellent sealing that maintains the freshness of the dog food. If you want to dump the dog food why spend the money?

I dump my in, so I do not know if it would fit or not. It holds about 35lbs loose so I would think a 30lb bag would fit, but I do not know that for a fact.It is a really nice container.

I always dump our dog food into the container. It holds a 30 pound bag easily.

Yes, 30 lb bag will fit. I love mine. I just dump it in. But I do mix the food left in can with the new food that I dump in...

Never tried it, but since the 40 lb unit WILL NOT hold 40 lbs of dog food (I don't know where the 40 lb rating from the manufacturer comes from, I had to buy a second overly expensive can to completely hold my 40 lb bag), I would guess that due to the bag not fully conforming to the interior can, you would not be able to fit a 30 lb bag, maybe a 20 lb bag. Like the others said, I don't know why you would want to do that, you would be wasting half the advantages of the can.

If you can give me the dimensions of a 10 lb bag of flour I'll measure and let you know. I love this container, it's very large. I keep dog food in it.

this one has 2 sizes. I would look for small only. The med and large do not fit my dog food cans.

I dint use the container to hold pet food, rather to hold bird seeds, but it hold the 50 pound bag I put in it. Hope this helps.

I use mine for dog food, but I don't see why you couldn't use for garbage. Not sure how bag would fit inside. Simplehuman sells trash cans though so I might check those out first.

I use it for cat food. The kibble pieces are small but a 16 lb bag has a fair amount left over that does not fit. I have started using the 25lb vault instead. If I buy 25 lb bags of cat food it is a tight fit in the 25 lb vault. I would buy a larger capacity vault for your dog food.

I prefer the 40 lb bag. It stores perferfectly in plastic food container from Petsmart.

Hi Jeaneal. I live here in Uruguay where I own a lodge to duck hunters.I bought this container several years ago and still use to put the dog food to my two labs, that are part of our family. Well the dimensions are about high 16" deep 11" and width 12". Hope can I help you. My best regards Alvaro Barcellos Souza Mouawad www.lakemerin.net

I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that. I think it is the same size as a dog food can and it fits that just fine.

Yes. I use a standard kitchen bag in the can and it fits perfectly. The lid goes on over the bag very nicely and covers the top of the can completely. If something gets on the inside or outside of the lid it comes off easily as well.

I think so! I buy 55lbs of pedigree dog food and it fits most of the bag! Granted the kibbles are much larger than grains of sugar or flour. I think it would suffice for your purpose no problem!

The depth of the container inside the can (where the bag goes) is 23". The overall height of the trash can is 26". It comes with a sample pack of bags (size J) which fit perfectly. Walmart drawstring bags may work, but I haven't tried them yet. I just ordered a box of 50 bags directly from SimpleHuman. To change bags you remove the inside container and take the old bag out. The top lip on the new bag folds tightly over the top of the inner container. When you put the inner container back in the trash can you do not see the bag. It is a really good design.

yes but you better weigh down the lid because a raccoon can easily open it; the lid is not screwed on, just kind of plops on top. Rodents like mice cant open it but with the help of a raccoon your dog food is history. Secondly, I don't know if it will hold 50 pounds of dog food; it's a large bin but the other thing to consider is the bottom is hollow; about two inches. I put some heavy things into it and it sagged; I was afraid it would rip the sides so I couldn't use it as intended. Then I put some thin bricks along the bottom and now it works ok. Best to get a screw on cap type with a ground level bottom. Third thing, the aluminum is not as strong like my dad's old trash can this one is kind of cheap and flimsy thin material. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't put dog food inside it because it is open under the bowls and water could leak down and contaminate the food. I keep treats and things in it that are in waterproof containers.

Sounds like your dimensions fit the 60lb size better than the 40lb? I have the 60lb. 50lb of dog food fit easily with lid on side. $4 or $5 for 50% more storage is a bargain but do you need such a big one say for rice or flour. Perhaps if you have a restaurant? Also recommend one of those large aluminum scoops. They are fairly cheap and very useful for bulk transfers.

Depends on how the dog food is sized; something in big chunks will weigh less than something that is tiny. Also, the content of dog foods will slightly alter the weight. I buy 30# bags of a senior dog mix and store it in two of the Bergan Stack-N-Stor 40's. I don't know what the 40 stands for -- my guess at the time I bought them was that it stood for and internal capacity of 40 cubic inches. I hope this has been a helpful answer and doesn't sound too pedantic.

No, the label says it holds about 26lbs of dog food and I could only get about 2/3 of my 31lb bag to fit.The other container included would probably hold the rest but I did not try.
