## Abstract

The present invention provides a pet food storage apparatus (100) to store and serve pet food. The storage apparatus (100) includes a container (10) having a bottom wall (12), a sidewall (14), and an opening (16) defining a hollow portion (15). An extruded portion (30) is radially extended internally from the sidewall (14). A first bowl (40a) is removably arranged on the extruded portion (30) of the sidewall (14). Further, a second bowl (40b) is removably arranged in a nested configuration over the first bowl (40a). A depressed cavity (44b) of the second bowl (40b) is used to store an accessory. The first bowl (40a) and the second bowl (40b) are removed from the container (10) to serve food or water to the pet. A lid (60) is provided to open or close the container (10).

## Claims
