How much food do you have on hand for your pets?

[highplainsdem]

I have a couple weeks' supply of food for myself, but more than a month's supply of canned and dry food for my cat. (Priorities!)

1. I haven't been much of a planner but I do have a bunch of food for the doggies.

4. I have about 3/4 of 15.5 lb bag left.

That is about a month and a half. I buy a new bag every other month. I just got one recently.

7. About a month's worth for the cats.

If the virus gets me they'll also have my body. They'll be fine.

8. I (finally!) have a day off on Monday

Cat food is on my list of errands. We were due for the usual pickup, but think I’ll get double while there. That will last about 5 weeks. Got Leo’s thyroid pill refill a little over a week ago, so we are good on that for about another month.

9. Glad you brought that up! A word about dog food.

Before WWII, kibble wasn't a thing. (My naturopath vet told me this.) She says back before 50 years ago, dogs ate what people ate. She recommends a raw diet (raw beef, chicken etc., bones included), supplemented with fruits and vegetables, particularly sweet potato. Personally I'm too lazy to cook for myself, so up to this week, I've opted for those frozen formulas they have all ground up. (Really noticed a difference in the amount and smell of my dog's poop --much less volume and significantly less stinky. Sorry for the TMI, but with an 80lb dog, this is welcome news in my household.)

I bring all this up because while it's convenient to buy dog food, if you do run out, there are probably lots of stapes in your pantry that you can feed your dog. That includes rice, oats, raw meat and veggies and more. Look it up! Not only *can* you do this, your furry friend (and your nose) may actually end up better off.

I imagine the situation is similar for cats, but haven't researched because our kitty passed a few months ago.

10. 3 bags

[sinkingfeeling]

11. I have enough canned for 120 days, but only 25 lbs. of dry for 2 cats.

[lastlib]

12. My bird could hold out on the current supply for at least three months.

(In that length of time, even crippled me could find a way to get him some more.)

[yellowdogintexas]

13. 2 and 1/2 11 pound bags, plus a bunch of canned for our elder cat

who needs to eat more.

Six large buckets of kitty litter.

[zanana1]

16. 60 cans of food. 50 lbs. of dry food. One cat.

17. My elderly (14 yo next month) dog is on a prescription diet which ships to me.

Her current food, supplements, and meds are all shipped to me from three different sources.

I supplement her regular diet with boiled chicken and rice, which I can probably do for at least a month with chicken breasts in the freezer and a supply of rice.


I have had very good results using chewy.com if anyone is concerned about having to go out to get pet food.

[Laffy Kat]

20. I just got my first order from Chewy.

The only thing I didn't like about it was one of the bags of food was open and spilled in the box. I prefer to buy at my local mom and pop to support the business, but I wanted to get set up at Chewy just in case.

[Fla Dem]

18. About a month plus. May pick up more this week.

[Laffy Kat]

19. More than for us, that's for sure.

Doggos and kitteh are good for at least eight to ten weeks.

[Demovictory9]

21. one months worth if she doesnt have me opening multiple cans cuz she rejects a flavor
