I have not yet started to stockpile for the dogs, mainly concerned about us right now. I used to feed my dogs a full raw diet, and if times get hard I’ll feed them off of wild game again. I switched back to kibble just because of the time it takes to prepare and feed raw. Wormer and meds are what I need to stock up on. Potentially not being able to get puppy vaccines could be hard on litters as well.

I realize most house and keep dogs differently than i do which contributes to the hassel of feeding raw for them. I sometimes don't have to feed dogs for 6 days. I usually feed every 2 or 3 days. My feed cost is maybe $100 for entire year for 8 to 10 dogs. Takes me about 10 minutes to process each pig i bring. I keep the dog food freezer full which has about 4 weeks worth of food in it for them and rest of the pigs go straight to the dogs. I spend more time per year cleaning water buckets than i do feeding dogs. I think people are silly and create so many of their own issues and hardships. For the thousands they spend on kennels and dog food in 1 year alone they could have a better setup and system than i have but tradition is like a disease and so silly once you learn to see it through a hand to mouth concept and a self sustaining concept rather than a hobby concept and an drain on resources and $
I believe that if your dogs cost you much time or virtually any money at all to raise, maintain, and hunt your gonna have some hard decisions to make one day. Even the transitions of life such as babies and family or layoffs force a lot of people to sale out do to the money pit they hace created for themselves setting in those kennels lol.
