Is storing pet food in a galvanized steel trash can safe?

June 24th, 2010

I’m having a mice problem and I heard a lot of people use galvanized steel trash cans to store horse feed so that mice can’t get to them. Would this be a good idea for storing my dog food? I heard that it might be hazardous to store your pet’s food in galvanized steel, but couldn’t find anything to back that up. Anyone know anything?

because dog food isn’t acid, and you aren’t cooking in the can, the dog should be fine.
galvanizing (zinc) is what would be potentially unsafe- stainless would be better, but it should be fine because it’s just kibble
