Why Use a Sealed Container for Dry Kibble?
Dry kibble stays freshest when it’s protected from air, moisture, and pests. The Vittles Vault Outback is a sealed dog food storage container designed to hold up to 30 or 50 pounds of pet food, depending on the size you choose. Its Gamma Seal Technology uses a threaded locking system and double gaskets to create an airtight seal that helps maintain a controlled moisture balance and keeps pests out.
Whether you feed a single cat or a large dog, using a dedicated container like the Vittles Vault Outback can help preserve the flavor and quality of your pet’s food between bags.

Setting Up Your Vittles Vault Outback
Before first use, wash and dry the container thoroughly. The care instructions recommend regular cleaning to prevent oil buildup from the kibble.
- 1. Wash and dry the container: Use warm soapy water to clean the inside and outside. Rinse well and let it dry completely before adding food.
- 2. Choose your location: Place the container on a flat, stable surface indoors or in a covered area. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- 3. Open the Gamma Seal lid: Twist the lid counterclockwise to unlock it. The threaded design makes it easy to open and close securely.
- 4. Fill with dry kibble: Pour dry food directly from the bag into the container. Capacity guidelines are based on the shape and density of kibble; if you’re unsure, round up to the next size.
- 5. Seal the lid tightly: Twist the lid clockwise until it’s snug. The double gaskets create an airtight seal that helps keep food fresh and pests out.
Choosing the Right Size
The Vittles Vault Outback comes in 30 lb and 50 lb sizes. If you typically buy 30-pound bags of kibble, the 30 lb container is a good match. For larger bags or multiple pets, the 50 lb size gives you room to store a full bag plus some extra. The product note advises rounding up to the next size if you’re unsure, since kibble density varies.
Cleaning and Maintenance Tips
Over time, oils from the kibble can absorb into the plastic, which may cause food to become rancid. Regular cleaning prevents this. Wash the container with warm soapy water every time you empty it, or at least every few months. Let it dry completely before refilling. The container is also suitable for other dry foods like birdseed and goat feed, but always clean between different food types.
What the Vittles Vault Outback Can and Can’t Do
The Vittles Vault Outback is designed for dry food only. It is not intended for wet food, liquids, or perishable items. The container resists shattering and cracking, making it durable for everyday use. For best results, keep it in a climate-controlled area and avoid storing it where it might be exposed to rain or direct sun for long periods.
