I have taken both of my dogs into consideration. I have reserves for them as well.
I consider the dogs part of my SHTF preparations. With dogs barking you do have the
possibility that they could communicate location, but I think the value of an all-the-time
guard far outweighs the risk. Cats on the other hand are not even in the plan! They have
no value in my opinion.
Chinese for the cats.
