Dog food is processed and packaged to last 18-24 months....

In the rush of prepping for your family, don’t forget the canine members (and other pets) of your family! I will be writing about dogs, much of this same information will apply to cats and other pets. I have owned and cared for dogs all my life, owned a boarding kennel, taught obedience classes and trained service dogs, I was a retail sales clerk in a pet department, and was a groomer. I will try to cover things in a practical manner for you.

The first thing to consider is food. There are a couple of ways to approach this. You can buy and save commercial dog food for your dog. Or they can eat what you eat, in which case you want to make sure you buy for “another person”.

Great tips here! I’ve always said that our furry friends are part of the family too. 📦 When prepping, it's easy to overlook their needs. Stocking up on food and figuring out what they can eat from our scraps is smart. I mean, my crew of dogs loves whatever I’m having, as long as it’s not too fatty!

The idea about planting mint and catnip is genius. I’ve got a small garden going on my boat, and those could thrive!

Also, keeping their meds stocked is crucial. I learned the hard way how important that is. I love the idea of training them for specific roles as well. A well-trained buddy can really help out in tough times.

I appreciate the emphasis on storage too. I've got a cabin where I keep supplies, but I’ve got to be vigilant about pests. Those little critters can ruin everything! Keep sharing your knowledge; it’s invaluable for all of us preppers! 🐾
