Ideas for Organizing Pet Food and Treats in Your Kitchen
Setting up a system for storing your pets food, toys, bowls etc will help organize your space better. Safely storing pet food will keep it fresh and safe to eat. There are so many food options such as store bought food, homemade food, and frozen food. Finding the space in your cupboards and fridge may not be that easy if you have limited space or full cupboards. The best way to approach storage is to assign a dedicated space in your fridge for example a shelf or corner. Label the pet food so it’s not mistaken for human food. Dry food needs to stay in the original packaging and in a cool dry place. For pet treats or training, a snack waist pack is ideal. The storage solution travels well and will keep treats, and snacks fresh.

When it comes to storing pet crates which are bulky and large, requires a bit more creativity. Basements, lockers, garages, sheds, barns and/or balconies are ideal spots for storage. Find a spot on a shelf in order to keep the crate out of the way. Or if you have space on the ground, store the crate beside other garden tools and accessories. And, if you don’t use the crate often, suggest you cover it with a tarp.
