Are you prepared?

Yeah I've had a problem getting my dog's brand starting last year.  I feed him Eukanuba and have since I had him and the vet recommended it.   He's a big dog so I buy him 33lb bags.  I used to go to the local pet stores to get it like Petco.  But last year they almost never had it in stock and the employees told me they were having trouble getting it delivered.  So I turned to online.  Even Chewy, Petco online and Amazon rarely had it.   I found a bag available via Petco online (still none in Petco's local store so it seems Petco is prioritizing their online customers), and Amazon then another on Chewy a month later all of which I bought.  So I signed up for automatic orders from Chewy and Petco every 6 weeks.   My first automatic order from Petco did not ship because they were out again.  Chewy has fulfilled my last few orders the last one being delivered last month.  

So right now I'm have 5 bags which should be enough for 7-8 months, a few more if I need to stretch it.  I just looked on Chewy as I am due for another automatic shipment next week and they show temporarily out of stock.   Also the price has gone up a lot.  Before shortages a 33lb bag cost me about $38 and the last bags I got via Chewy were $55 and now even though out of stock they show a price of $63. 

I've been slowly buying canned food for him over the last year that I keep as a back up.  I buy a can or so when I go to the store.  So I probably have another 2 months of canned food for emergency use and as an occasional treat as I rotate them out.  

It's kind of funny.  My dog has a longer term food supply than I do.  I have roughly 2 months of human food and water stored should I need to shelter in place.  But one of my fears is not being able to provide for my dog because he means so much to me.   I guess he will have to share with me if things get really bad.  Sad
