Hey, I was wondering about dry edible items I could add to Sukha's pelleted food that are detestable in smell and taste to dogs. I have Sukha's food in a locking Tupperware where there are bars that slide and lock over the lid. I have this placed in a cloth organizing tote/drawer thing which is behind our shoe shelf and between a wall and the tote holding Sukha's water, which they can't move. STILL they keep getting into his food and making messes and costing me money because I have to get MORE food!!!

They've done it several times now and other than putting a chair on it's front and sliding it under the cage and over the bin/tote nothing has stopped them! I've put things on top of the Tupperware and put open canisters of cayenne pepper inside, and on top of the Tupperware and they just get them off, then open it up. This is getting REALLY annoying and I wanted to know what I can add to the dry food (can I straight up mix the pellets with cayenne pepper? They don't like the smell or taste) to deter them from bothering it. Oh BTW I have large dogs so I'd have to move it up high and the only space I have is in the kitchen which is far from the cage which is a pain. I would like to keep it in the same place and them not bother it. They don't touch it when I'm around but one of my dogs can get out of containment when we're gone and is ripping the tote to shreds and eating the food.
Thanks in advance!
