Characteristics and features of the content of husky puppies 2 months old

At the age of one and a half to two months, the little husky puppy already shows personal traits of character, he is able to perceive training, and he can be educated correctly. At this time, they take him away, because up to 5 weeks at least the baby should be with his mother. The owner will have to figure out in advance how to keep the animal and how to feed it so that the dog quickly grows and develops.

Dogs of this breed differ in average size, proportional to the body, dense "double" coat. Color can be either black or white, as well as intermediate shades, in addition, it changes as the animal grows older. The common blue eye color is not always found, there are individuals with brown eyes. If at birth the weight of puppies is about 500-600 g, then per month - 3 kg, and in 2 months about 6 kg. At this time, the pet looks like a well-fed fortress, however, this is not always an indicator of health.

Also, a two-month-old husky should have the following characteristics, confirming his health and normal development:

• thick ears sticking up;
• tail hanging down, not rising above the back;
• scissor bite and straight teeth;
• cheerfulness, curiosity, temperament, full of energy.

When acquiring a cute husky puppy, many treat the pet as a charming decorative animal, and this is the main mistake, because it is a powerful, incredibly hardy sled dog, not devoid of hunting excitement.

The pet is not suitable for protecting the house, because it does not like to bark, and is too friendly. But he can become a companion of a strong, athletic person, and will accompany him wherever there is enough space to pour out his irrepressible energy.

The dog has high intelligence, but in its own way is stubborn and willful, so it needs a master with a strong character. Since the animal has wolf roots, it needs constant movement, and when it does not have the ability to run a lot, it can become aggressive and even uncontrollable. Therefore, for elderly people, introverts, as well as those who prefer home-like activities, husky does not suit temperament.

With children, the animal can play for hours and become their loyal friend, of course, not with small ones - You can entrust the education to a physically developed teenager at the age of 12-14.

The pet can also be used for hunting, since the husky has a great instinct, but special hunting skills will have to be instilled from early childhood. For this, the animal must implicitly execute commands.

The owner must be prepared for the fact that a small animal for the first time will gnaw furniture, household items - from a bad habit it needs to be weaned right away.

It is possible to keep a puppy in a city apartment, as the animal is extremely clean and is not a source of unpleasant odors. However, the ideal option is to provide your pet with a spacious aviary with a house, where he can spend most of the day in the fresh air. The dog calmly tolerates both plus and minus temperatures (from -25 to +25 degrees).

For a two-month-old baby, you should prepare everything you need in advance:

• separate bowls for water and food;
• toys, because the dog needs to learn to chew and nibble;
• summer cooling mat that allows the pet to feel comfortable even in the heat;
• collar, halter and leash;
• own berth in the form of an elastic mat with a removable cover;
• special comb with trimmer for removing undercoat.

For the future, harnesses or a backpack with weighting are useful, which stimulate muscle building and chest development.

Husky does not require special care in the house, but you need to prepare for the fact that the animals will have to walk and run a lot, at least 3-4 hours a day. At first, a puppy's walk is performed using a leash, but fixing it to a harness so as not to damage the animal’s neck with a collar. In the future, the puppy will need free walking and active games under the control of the owner.

Despite the fact that the animal has excellent immunity, in 1.5-2 months the pet can already be given the first vaccination, but only after deworming and medical examination.

Husky molt twice a year, so you need to bathe them periodically, that is, no more than three times in 12 months. However, regular hygiene procedures are required for both puppies and adults, including:

• daily combing of wool with a brush, and during molting - twice a day;
• washing paws and muzzle after a walk;
• if necessary - grinding of sharp parts of claws.

Puppies can only be washed with warm water with a sponge, trying to prevent soap suds from getting into your nose, ears, mouth or eyes. When combing, they use a furminator or a comb with rare wide teeth.

Eyes and ears are wiped with a disinfectant every 15 days, as the breed has a predisposition to eye diseases.In addition to the claws, the hair on the paw pads is also cut off, as it interferes with the puppy. If the baby is taken in winter, then the pads are also lubricated with beeswax so that cracks do not form.

As for plaque on the teeth, it is better to use the professional services of a veterinarian to eliminate it.

You can feed a little husky with natural food or ready-made food from two months already.

In the first case, it is a quality food rich in vitamins and protein of natural origin, however, its preparation will take time, and if you need to transfer the puppy to production feeds, it will not be easy.

For a puppy, a complete daily diet should include:

• lean meats, preferably beef;
• sea ​​fish;
• cereals in the form of cereals (rice, oatmeal, cooked in water or meat broth);
• boiled vegetables (cabbage, zucchini, carrots);
• dairy products, including sour milk, which is more beneficial for the dog than fresh.

You can diversify the menu with boiled offal, but not more than 3 times a week, meat and fish are given raw.

Special instructions relate to meat - in 2 months you should not give the beef to the puppies in the form of minced meat, they need shredded slices that make it possible to develop the jaws, and they are digested much better. Puppies are happy to eat large, raw bones, but only occasionally can they be allowed. Any bones are suitable, except for fish, chicken, as well as chipped and flat, capable of injuring the mouth. But from the ridges and bones of the fish you can make a mixture by scrolling them in a meat grinder, and give in the form of top dressing.

Food for little husky dogs should not be too hot or cold - you need warm, room temperature or a little higher.

Two-month-old puppies are fed 6 times a day. Early in the morning they give 200 ml of a sour-milk drink, then at 10 o’clock - oatmeal brewed with milk, at lunch (at 14.00) you can give a little cottage cheese. At 17.00, the pet is offered rice or buckwheat porridge on meat broth, in the evening it is best to feed the baby with boiled vegetables, adding vegetable oil to them. Before going to bed, at 22–23 hours they give small raw meat pieces - 100–150 g.

Vitamins and nutritional supplements a puppy needs: calcium gluconate (1 tablet per 10 kg, multiplied by 1 month of life), bone meal - 10 g per day, mashed sea kale - 1/4 teaspoon per day, brewer's yeast (tablet per 10 kg, multiplied by 2), phytin - 1 tablet per day.

Babies need fish oil, but since a large portion can cause puppies to have diarrhea, they begin to give a remedy with 4-5 drops and bring to 1 teaspoon. Cottage cheese is given homemade, prepared on the basis of milk and calcium chloride. It is also allowed to use 1 garlic clove 2 times a week - for this the product is placed in a piece of meat or cheese.

If the owner has settled on finished feed, then you can use only special products for two-month-old animals. At first, dry granules can be soaked with water. Start with a small amount, increasing portions gradually. For husky, it is better to choose premium feeds that are of high quality and already contain all the necessary ingredients and vitamins.

Feeding is carried out only after a walk, since the health of the blood vessels and heart of the dog depends on this.
