 No ants! - but don't overtighten the lid June 22, 2008
I buy a premium dog food for my sheltie, and I wanted the best container available to keep it safe from ants. I think I've found it! No bugs (or mice!) to be seen, I don't think they even know there's dog food in there.
I *was* having a problem opening the Vittles Vault; I'd try to unscrew the lid, but the container would slide on the floor in the direction I was turning, so I'd have to try to brace the container with my feet while turning the lid.... it was kind of a hassle. Turns out I was overtightening the lid when closing the Vittles Vault. The manufacturer says to just spin the lid, and when it stops, it's closed. Oh. Well. Boy, is my face red. Now it's much easier for me to open the lid, and it still keeps out ants.
The 1 1/4 cup measurement scoop that's included is the perfect size for a daily ration for my 30 lb sheltie. I feed her a small-sized kibble (Canidae All Life Stages), and this container fits the 40 lb bag with a little room left over. I can't imagine that it'd hold 50 lbs of my kibble, but since my kibble comes in 40 lb bags, it works great for me.
I love it, and so does my sister, who bought one to store her cat food in.

I bought a 20 lb Vault for dry dog food, and was so pleased that I ordered two more 50 lb Vaults for storing sunflower seeds and peanuts. They're pricey, but since I've had a problem with cereal moths in bird seed, I'm expecting they'll pay for themselves when I now longer have to dispose of contaminated seeds. I haven't tried keeping them outside yet, so I have no idea if they're invulnerable to determined raccoons, but indoors they provide a neat and tidy appearance and their wide openings make it easy to scoop seeds without spilling. They're so airtight that when I open the peanut Vault, the fragrance wafts out and my dog, a true lover of peanuts, comes running, hopeful for a stray morsel.
I rate them four stars because I wish they came in a color that would be more harmonious outdoors, rather than blazingly bright white, though I do admit that this makes it easier to be sure they're clean between refills.
I've recommended these Vaults to my friends who own dogs and/or feed birds. They're an excellent solution.

We're getting ready to buy a second "Vault" to hold puppy food; we've been using our first Vault to store adult dog food. The Vault is the only food storage item we've ever found that you can leave out there in the garage with four large dogs, and they can bite it, knock it over, push it around, jump on it, spill their water bowl by it, etc., and nothing affects the contents or allows them to access the contents. It is truly airtight and watertight, but easy to open and close rapidly with a "spin" of the large cap, which has a well-designed screw-on system.
Finally a safe haven from ants October 13, 2006

Great product. I have four of them and it keeps food fresh while keeping unwanted critters out. My dogs have come to love the sound of the whirling lid!
