Any ideas on how to make a good dog food?

Fast moving lead.

Very funny


I was referring to some kind of dog food mix.....maybe soy or something that would be nutritious and could be grown. I do not want to have to shoot something every time I have to feed the dogs.

ground hamburger and white rice. ask any vet when your dog has an upset stomach and they will tell you to make that because it is very easy on there stomach. if you have some, chop up some carrots into it. quality dog food does not differ from human food too much

[docsherm]

That is a good idea. Thanks for the info.

What food are you guys putting back for your K9s?

I would assume dry food, no?

What is the life span of dry dog food stored properly?

I'm unsure of the good for time frame, but I get my (dry) dog food at Southern States with a certain protein / fat combo. I usually have three to five, fifty pound bags & I rotate them when I feed the dogs. I never go over 5 for the reasons I posted already in this thread. If it would really get THAT bad, I know they can provide for themselves and or help me provide for us & them.

My Belgian Malinois eats literally anything I do with the exception of spicy foods and outright salad (leaves). This includes broccoli, cauliflower, rice, cheese, apples, strawberries, you name it. Dogs are omnivorous.

I have a laid back pit bull/bull dog mix that follows me everywhere. Doesn't get too excited about things, listens to commands very well, doesn't run away and not really a barker. He is very friendly but you mess with him and he'd probably take your arm off.

Awesome!

Got a lab/pit mix, too. He's a member of the family and would certainly be more welcome in a bugout situation. When I count food stores, it includes dog food.

I have a 14lb jack russel that barks at everything. i love him but hes a liability. id have no choice but to put him down for the safety of my family.
