So now I am supposed to panic because my pets are going to starve? Is this Trumps fault too, or covid causing the sky to fall again?

I'm not in the pet food business but have two dogs so often talk to the local pet food guy. He says that special needs brands, such as Royal Canin are suffering shortages due to a paucity of certain medical grade ingredients. The regular dog food supply is fine.

I feed the stray neighborhood cats whatever big bags of cat food is on sale. I'm not even a fan of cats, I just don't wanna see any animal go hungry.

I don't seem to have any issue finding their chow.
