In the Company of Dogs, Part 3

Aside from training your dog to fulfill certain duties and thus contribute to his own continued existence, dog owners must consider how they are going to feed their dogs. In a long term survival situation, eventually those bags of kibble and cans of Alpo are going to run out. You need to be thinking now of how you are going to feed your dog.

Rabbits!

That’s right. Already many people raise rabbits for the sole purpose of feeding their dogs. They don’t give them to them live, of course. But after butchering, the dogs are fed the rabbits raw. The advantages to a raw meat diet are healthier teeth, less plaque, fewer vet visits, more energy, etc.

Since you can easily grow or gather the food necessary to feed your rabbits, they can then be raised to feed your dog(s). A side benefit would be that you can also eat the meat. Want to learn more? Check out “Raising Rabbits for Meat” an e-book by CL Hendricks.
