I'm sorry about your loss.Had to put my dog down this morning. Sad day for me. She had a good 11 years with me at least.

I haven't noticed any shortages here on either Royal Canin or Hill's Science Diet. Not sure about other food. Both have increased in price pretty significantly over the last year or so though. The Royal Canin is now $85 for 35 lbs and Hill's is $78 for 30 lbs. Fluctuates month to month. I feel like both were $50-60 not too long ago.Hey pet owners, I'm hearing that pet food has become real expensive and some shortages are occurring, is anyone experiencing that?
We had a cat who would only eat Royal Canine wet cat food, so picky. My wife's friend said that cat food has gone way up in price and is hard to find.
I've been considering getting a dog or cat, food price isn't an issue, but shortages would be a bummer if the pet is picky.....
after we lost joeyboy our anatolian/greyhound/mutt mix we had for 15-16 years, it was tough.My wife doesn't want to get a pet because the loss when they go is heavy....
After consultation with my vet a couple of years ago, I make my own dog food. One boneless chicken breast, boiled and chopped into little pieces, one cup Instant white or brown rice, and one cup thawed mixed vegetables. Sometimes, I sprinkle in a little shredded cheese.We've had ours on Farmers Dog for a few years now after a health scare and she loves it - https://www.thefarmersdog.com/
It's not cheap by any means, but it's human-grade stuff and we've yet to have an issue with getting it (it's made on demand)
They're adorable!After consultation with my vet a couple of years ago, I make my own dog food. One boneless chicken breast, boiled and chopped into little pieces, one cup Instant white or brown rice, and one cup thawed mixed vegetables. Sometimes, I sprinkle in a little shredded cheese.
The above makes about 5-6 cups and my portion is 3/4 cup per serving. The batch costs me about $3. I supplement their diet with Milk Bones as a twice daily treat after their walk.
One of my dogs was a little overweight before I started. Within several months, he was in target weight. One dog is about eight, the other about four.
Occasionally, I'll get a cup and mix it with chicken broth for soup.
Dogs are the best, cheer us up when we are feeling down, guard us…love us unconditionally. They don’t care if we are poor or rich, if we can feed them the best food or not, and even when we yell at them they still love us two seconds later.

The worst thing about dogs is that they don't live long enough.Dogs are the best, cheer us up when we are feeling down, guard us…love us unconditionally.

They make us laugh, and cry
It was gods cruelest trick to give us the best souls in the world, but for such a limited time.
Humans do not deserve dogs
