It’s always a good idea to have a backup supply of food for yourself but have you thought to keep an emergency food supply for your dog? Here are 5 reasons that its a good idea to have an emergency dog food supply.

1. Job Loss

If you lose your job you always know there is a time frame that you don’t need to worry about buying food for your dog.

2. Dog Food Supply Shortage

Yes I know your probably thinking what? There’s tons of dog food available. While this is true getting the kind of dog food your dog is used to could be a problem if your store stops carrying the brand you are used to buying. Having an extra supply of dog food allows you to transition your dog to a different kind of food while giving their system the time to adjust.

3. Car Emergencies

If you require the use of your car to get dog food having an extra supply gives you one less thing to worry about if your car breaks down.

4. You Forgot To Buy Dog Food

Ok lets be honest. This kind of thing happens. If you forget that you used the last scoop to feed your dog breakfast its a drag to come home to find out you need to go out again to get more dog food.

5. Forced Evacuation

Yes there is the hurricane, and other disasters that may have warnings however things like gas leaks when you could be forced to leave your house with little to no notice doesn’t give you a lot of time to think about dog food. In an emergency you can just throw the extra food in your car and leave without worrying about running out or where you are going to get the same brand of dog food for your dog in an unusual environment.
