DIY Pet Food Canister & Pedigree Dog Food

 

 

Knock-off Ballard Dog Food Tin

Pet Food Canister

One of the best ways to store your pet’s food is not in the floppy bag, but rather in more sturdy plastic containers or large tin.

You know those popcorn tins you get at Christmas that seem like they will last forever……well, when forever is over you can wash them out, paint them and decorate with some vinyl and fill with your dog or cat food!

I found a Christmas tin at a garage sale for 50¢, picked up a can of yellow spray paint, cut some fun vinyl with my Silhouette Craft cutter, hot glued cute ribbon around the lid and in no time I had a cute storage container for Cullen’s favorite Pedigree Dog Food, all for only a few dollars.

I LOVE the way my  designer pet food canister turned out!………and Ballard Designs doesn’t offer yellow! {wink}

Improvements Made in Pedigree Dog Food

pedigree dog foodPedigree dog food has recently been improved to meet and exceed the four universal needs of dogs; Skin & Coat, Oral Care, Digestion and Immunity.

  • It keeps their skin and coat healthy.
  • Promotes healthy oral care, by reducing tartar (clean chompers!)
  • Provides Healthy Digestion (super poop!)
  • Enhanced levels of antioxidants—like vitamins E and C—to help keep your dog strong

You better believe we plan to continue feeding our dogs Pedigree Dog food and treats for years to come!  If you have a special furball in your life, if you haven’t already, I would recommend you gradually make the switch to Pedigree dog food.

You Can Help

Every time you buy PEDIGREE® Food For Dogs, Pedigree will make a donation to The PEDIGREE Foundation.* So you’re not just doing something good for your own dog, you’re also helping deserving dogs in shelters around the country. Be sure to get your coupons and save a few dollars!

Pedigree is also on Facebook and Twitter!  Throughout the month of June, dog lovers can help dogs by logging onto Facebook and Twitter (#everydogdeserves) to say why they think “Every Dog Deserves” the very best.  For each Like, comment, @reply, re-tweet, photo upload, etc. directed at Pedigree, they’ll donate one pound of food (up to 100,000 pounds total). Every single engagement with Pedigree on Facebook and Twitter helps feed dogs!

    So, I have had this popcorn tin sitting in my living room (mildly hidden, of course) for almost 3 years now. Then, I have this annoying bag of dog food sitting in my kitchen, (instead of the porch where the raccoons, possums, and skunks hang) and now I know where the two shall meet! This will be a fun New Year’s project. Thanks! However, I’m thinking mod podge with doggie and kitty prints! ;)

    I love how simple–and smart–this idea is! I just put up a similar post (I used chalkboard paint) and of course linked back to you to give you full credit.
    Thanks for a great idea!

    Hey Cheryl! It’s so awesome that I came across this today! Yesterday I decided I was tired of the large bag we buy our dog food in and wanted to move all of the food into a really cute container. This is such a cute idea! Thanks so much for passing this along! I would LOVE for you to come by my link party and post this for others to see!

    HELP!! ive done this to a popcorn tin but have found out after all my hard work that the expensive krylon brand spray paint is chipping off easily. so I touched it up and then covered it in a clear glaze only to find it dried hazy and frosty looking. please advise how to make spray paint adhere to metal tin better. I have since sanded all the paint off!
