One of the most popular dog breeds currently is husky. These northern dogs were used as sled dogs, but now they are bred in ordinary apartments. What puppies are born to a husky, how they look at the age of one month - we will analyze in our article.

Husky appearance in 1 month

At birth, husky puppies are born blind and clumsy. In a month they become already mobile and quick-witted babies. At this age, they can have a different color: from beige to gray. The eyes of a husky are beautiful almond-shaped, can mow a little. Ears are triangular and directed upwards. The back is straight, the chest is not wide. The tail is directed down. The lips are black or brown, tightly closed.

The fatness of the puppy at this age does not depend on how they are fed. There are calm kids with a good appetite, and there are those who run and frolic more and forget about food. That is why monthly huskies come in different complexions.

The choice of a puppy is best done based on the preferred gender and eye color. You should not pay close attention to coat color, as this parameter of the dog’s appearance can change until the dog reaches the age of two.

Puppy Weight

After birth, huskies are rapidly gaining weight, as they sleep and eat a lot. At birth, they weigh very little - about 500 grams. Upon reaching one month of age, body weight increases by about 6 times. And the puppy weighs about 2750-3000 grams. To understand whether the baby is developing normally, it is necessary to weigh the puppy once a week until six months. So you can check whether you are feeding him correctly. Overfeeding and underfeeding equally affect the growth and development of the dog.

Nutrition of a one-month-old husky

When choosing a diet, it is important to consider that a puppy needs a balanced meal. He should receive an optimal set of proteins, fats and carbohydrates with food in order to feel good. Vitamin supplements, as well as mineral complexes designed specifically for puppies of this breed, will not interfere. What is best for a little husky from a meal?

  1. Meat products. Namely, chicken, beef, lamb, turkey should prevail over other products in the puppy's diet. They are an easily digestible protein, which, of course, is necessary for the growth, development and construction of the dog’s muscle mass.
  2. Offal. They should be given at least every other day, as this food is rich in vitamins and minerals.
  3. Bones and cartilage (except chicken). It is very helpful to nibble on small dogs so that their jaw muscles and bite develop correctly. Yes, and the baby is in a good mood if you give him a tasty bone from time to time. Adding a nutrient such as cartilage to the meat, the puppy will get a good portion of collagen. This substance is very useful for the formation of your own cartilage and joints.
  4. Sea fish. In addition to the content of high-quality protein, the composition of fish includes phosphorus, an abundance of vitamins, fish oil and other useful substances. And they are very necessary for a small growing organism.
  5. Dairy products. Cottage cheese and kefir will be an excellent source of calcium for husky puppies. It is preferable to give them in the morning and use only low-fat products for feeding.
  6. The eggs. A couple of times a week you can give your baby chicken or quail eggs, more precisely, their yolk.
  7. Cereals. You need to give them, but very little, mixing with the meat. Better use oatmeal, buckwheat and rice.
  8. Vegetables. Husky enjoy eating zucchini, cabbage, tomatoes, pumpkin and many other vegetables. They are necessary for the optimal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, but you should not overdo it with their quantity and it is better to ask your veterinarian about the size of the daily dose of vegetables.
  9. Vitamin and mineral complex. In veterinary pharmacies, you can choose the right treats containing vitamins and minerals for puppies. But the vet will help you choose the best.
