HB Design Co. Dog Treat Jars review

Intro — why I wanted to try these

As a pet parent who keeps a rotating stash of training treats, pill pockets and a few specialty chews on the kitchen counter, I’m picky about how pet gear looks and works. The Dog Treat Container Airtight Set of 2 from HB Design Co. caught my eye because it promises both style and function: two iron canisters in complementary sizes with rubber‑lined bamboo lids and a combined storage of up to 20 cups. That combination—countertop‑worthy design plus an airtight seal—felt worth a deeper look.

What it is (first look)

This is a two‑piece treat canister set made by HB Design Co. The pair includes two iron canisters that ship with bamboo lids that have a rubber lining for an airtight fit. The listing describes two sizes—8 x 6 inches and 7 x 5 inches—and lists a combined capacity of up to 20 cups. The product is available in a few colorways and arrives ready to display, with the brand noting the items are made and packaged for safe delivery.

At a glance — the facts straight from the listing

• Material: iron canisters with bamboo lids (rubber lined).
• Combined capacity: up to 20 cups.
• Two sizes offered in the set: 8 x 6 inches and 7 x 5 inches (the listing also shows item dimensions of 5.9"L x 5.9"W x 7.8"H).
• Package: 2 canisters with wood lids included.
• Product care: hand wash only.
• Special features called out: air‑tight, rubber‑lined bamboo lids, matte black handles on the lids, powder coated finish (sage green shown in listing).
• Material safety detail from the listing: lead free.

In daily use / hands‑on testing

Functionally these canisters are straightforward: you open the lid, reach in, and grab the treat you need. The bamboo lids have a rubber liner that compresses to form an airtight seal, and in extended use that seal is one of the elements that owners repeatedly point to as a highlight. I kept a mix of hard training treats, pill pockets and a few dental sticks across the two jars during testing and they stayed noticeably fresher than the factory packaging left out on the counter.

Practical notes from counter use and owner experience:

• Access vs. security: the lids seal tightly, so treats stay fresh, but opening can be a two‑hand job if your hands are full. Some people find the lids easy to open; others described the larger jar as having an extra tight seal. Expect a secure fit rather than a loose pop‑top.
• Handle design: the lids include a matte black handle that makes lifting straightforward, but if you pick the container up by that handle the whole lid can lift off—owners noted the lid (and its handle) come away cleanly from the jar. That makes refilling easy but also means a curious child or counter‑surfing pet could potentially remove the top if they can reach it.
• Capacity and fit: while the combined capacity is up to 20 cups, not every large, chunky treat will fit comfortably. Several owners mentioned that very large treats or long chews may not fit in the jars upright, and some treats they buy wouldn’t fully fit and needed to be broken up or stored elsewhere.
• Placement and movement: the canisters are metal and lightweight. Because they don’t have a built‑in nonslip base, people reported they can scoot around on smooth counters. A simple non‑slip pad or small tray prevents unwanted movement.
• Display value: whether you choose the sage green, black or white finishes, the powder coated metal gives a modern, neat look that many owners prefer to bags or clunky plastic bins on the counter.

By pet and use case

small dogs & training routines

These jars are ideal for owners who give small, frequent treats during training—use the smaller jar for quick grabs and the larger for bulk refills. The sizes are well suited for small dogs’ treats and pill pockets.

medium & large dogs

For medium and large dogs who use big biscuits or extended chews, check size carefully: some owners reported large treats didn’t fit the jars. If your treats are chunky or you go through very large volumes, these might feel undersized.

multi‑pet households

The two jars let you separate treat types—training treats in one, dental chews or pill pockets in the other. The airtight lids help keep smell contained, which is nice when multiple pets are around.

Materials & build quality

The listing identifies the main material as iron for the canisters and bamboo for the lids. The lids have a rubber lining to create an airtight seal. The sage green finish is described as powder coated on the product page, and owners wrote that the black satin finish resembles ceramic in appearance even though the jars are metal.

• finish and feel: owners describe the finish as satin/powder coated and visually upscale for a metal canister.
• lids: bamboo tops with a rubber liner—this rubber liner is the component that compresses and seals the rim.
• weight: the set is lightweight but feels sturdy enough for countertop use; the listing gives the item weight as 0.87 kg for the package.
• protective packaging: the listing calls out that the jars are packaged and drop tested to arrive intact.

Cleaning and maintenance

• The listing specifies hand wash only—don’t put these canisters or the bamboo lids in the dishwasher.
• Because the lids are bamboo and rubber lined, avoid soaking them for long periods; wipe and dry thoroughly.

Safety considerations

Safety is a priority for me: I want storage that keeps treats fresh and out of reach when needed. Based on the product facts and owner experiences, here are the safety points I’d call out.

• material safety: the listing notes the canisters are lead free. That’s a key reassurance for items that will sit in the kitchen near food prep areas.
• choking and access risk: the lids are not child‑proof. Owners reported the lid lifts cleanly via the matte black handle—if you keep the jar on a low counter or in a spot a child or a clever pet can reach, they could remove the lid and access treats. I recommend storing jars out of reach of children or slick counter‑surfing pets or placing the jars inside a locked cupboard if that’s a concern.
• stability: the jars are lightweight metal and can slide on smooth surfaces. A jar that slides near an edge could fall, so securing them with a non‑slip pad or keeping them away from edges reduces risk.
• food safety & moisture control: the rubber‑lined bamboo lids are specifically called out as keeping contents moisture free and delicious. That addresses stale treats and reducing mold risk if you open and close frequently, but follow standard food safety practices and check treats for spoilage—this product helps preserve freshness but doesn’t change expiration or spoilage signs.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

Matching the product to your pet routine is the most important part of buying. Based on the listing and long‑term owner feedback, here’s how I’d decide whether to buy.

Who should consider this set

• pet parents who want an attractive, countertop‑ready storage solution for treats and small snacks.
• people who give frequent small treats for training and want an accessible jar with a reliable airtight seal.
• owners of small dogs or those whose treats are compact and stackable—this set is a natural fit for those sizes and snack types.
• anyone who prefers metal over glass for a less breakable, ceramic‑like look—owners praised the satin/powder coated finish and sturdiness.

Who should skip or consider alternatives

• those who need to store very large or long treats that won’t fit upright—several people reported chunky treats didn’t fully fit.
• households with small children or determined counter‑surfers unless you can store the jars out of reach. The lids lift cleanly by the handle and are not child‑proof.
• if you need a heavy, stable base or built‑in non‑slip feet—these jars are lightweight and can move on slick surfaces unless placed on a pad or in a tray.

Durability & long‑term notes

Owners consistently described the canisters as well made. The packaging and drop‑tested claim in the listing aligns with reports that the jars arrived intact and ready to use. There are multiple mentions of the bamboo lids sealing well over time and the metal holding up to regular handling. I didn’t see recurring reports of parts breaking after short use spans; the consensus in longer runs of ownership is that these are built to last as countertop canisters.

Practical durability takeaways:

• the iron bodies are powder coated and appear resilient to everyday handling, though they are still lightweight and not intended as chew‑resistant containers for determined chewers.
• the bamboo lids and rubber liners function over time as intended in owner reports, but because the lids lift off, treat security depends on placement and supervision.
• there’s no listing‑stated warranty detail shown in the product facts, so if warranty is a deciding factor you’ll need to check directly with the manufacturer.

Value & styling

Value is subjective, but owners frequently noted these feel nicer than other metal or plastic treat jars—many described the finish and bamboo lids as an upgrade from the usual packaging. The set functions as storage and décor: if you enjoy having attractive pet gear on display, these deliver on that front. They’re noticeably lighter than glass while offering a ceramic‑like aesthetic in some finishes, which is why several owners preferred them for kitchen countertops over glass or bulky food bins.

Colors and finishes

The listing offers several color and size options. The product page explicitly lists these variants, and owners referenced the black and sage green finishes as particularly attractive. Within the package and imagery the brand shows a powder coated sage green option as one of the display colors.

• available colors (from the listing):
• Sage Green - Large
• Black - Small
• Gray - Large
• White - Large
• White - Small
• Black - Large

Verdict — should you buy it?

Short answer: if you want a stylish, airtight pair of countertop treat jars and your treats are mostly small to medium in size, this HB Design Co. set is a strong pick. The iron bodies and rubber‑lined bamboo lids deliver the two things most people want from a treat jar: fresh treats and a look that doesn’t scream “pet gear.” Owners repeatedly praised the seal, the finishes and the practical size split between the two canisters.

Red flags or reasons to hesitate are limited but real: oversized treats may not fit, the lids lift off easily (so store out of reach of kids/pets if that’s an issue), and the cans can slide on smooth countertops unless placed on a non‑slip surface. If those things are deal breakers for you, consider a larger single‑bin food container or a jar designed with a heavier base and child‑proof lid.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• Confirm treat size: measure a typical treat or chew—very large/long treats may not fit inside the jars upright.
• Decide where it will live: keep jars out of reach of children and clever counter‑surfing pets if you don’t want them opened unintentionally.
• Plan a non‑slip underlay if you place jars on smooth counters to prevent sliding.
• Remember care instructions: the product is hand wash only—do not put lids or jars in the dishwasher.
• Note materials: iron canisters with bamboo lids that are rubber lined; listing states the canisters are lead free.
• Capacity: combined storage up to 20 cups as listed—use the two sizes to separate training treats from bulk refills.

Final thoughts

I’m someone who values both form and function, and this HB Design Co. two‑jar set manages to hit both notes for a lot of pet households. The airtight bamboo lids keep treats tasting fresher, the powder coated iron bodies look good on the counter, and the pair of sizes is handy for separating everyday snacks from bulk storage. If you have small dogs or keep compact treats, you’ll likely be very happy with the set. If you rely on very large chews or need child‑proof, heavy‑base storage, this set may not be the ideal match.

Overall, for pet parents who want to upgrade their treat storage and put something attractive on display, these jars are a smart, practical choice.
