Husky's popularity is undeniable today. In these dogs with an unusual appearance, people fall in love literally at first sight. Attracted by many breeders is the fact that huskies do not require complicated and expensive care. However, they must be properly fed. Only in this case can we talk about good health and longevity of an energetic pet.

General recommendations

Husky to grow at home should be in accordance with all the rules. And this applies not only to the strict education of these naughty animals, but also to their feeding.

Menus for these beautiful riders need to be designed in such a way that it is balanced, filled with all the necessary vitamins and minerals.

One of the most important rules for feeding a husky is to eat after a walk. Many people know that representatives of this world famous breed are distinguished by their enviable energy and active behavior. They like to run, jump and play a lot. For this reason, before the walk (5 hours before the exit), you should not give the pet any goodies - this can lead to inversion of the intestines. Similar problems often lead to death of the animal. This recommendation should not be neglected if you value the life and health of your pet.

Veterinarians do not recommend mixed food for northern dogs (meaning a combination of dry and natural food). This can ultimately lead to the fact that their gastrointestinal tract will not work correctly. The animal will suffer because of this.

The main indicator of a balanced diet is the condition of the pet. The physical data of the dog must necessarily correspond to the loads that it receives daily. For this reason, husky food is recommended to be divided into separate diets - one will be relevant in winter and the other in summer. The best season for a husky is winter. During this period, the animal should consume more food than on summer days.

You may notice that animals that expose themselves to severe physical exertion and eat properly, look slightly dried from the side. They can be seen ribs on the sides, as well as well-defined muscles. Dogs with prominent ribs are not involved in the exhibitions, but the musculature can still be clearly seen. Depletion or obesity are not the problems that husky dogs suffer from. This distinguishing feature takes place due to the corresponding loads and a properly built diet. An interesting fact: an obese husky will lose weight much faster and lose weight than an exhausted dog will gain weight and get fat.

It should be borne in mind that young individuals must be quite well-fed. Subcutaneous fat on the ribs should be palpable.

This is necessary for the animal to grow properly and be healthy. In addition, only in this case will the correct growth of the ligamentous apparatus and strong bone be ensured.

What can dogs be given?

Representatives of the famous husky breed belong to the category of unpretentious and undemanding pets. It is not difficult to ensure that these pets eat properly. The main thing is to know which husky products are available and which cannot. Let's look at what food will be useful to these pets, and which will only bring harm.

Natural food

Each owner must decide in advance what kind of food he will give his pet. You can feed huskies with natural food, or you can buy ready-made industrial feeds from well-known brands. Both options have their strengths and weaknesses.

If you decide to feed your beloved dog with natural products, then you definitely need to familiarize yourself with the list of allowed positions that you can safely give a husky without fear for his health.

  • Meat. The sled dog’s menu should not be without meat. This product contains the necessary body protein, calcium, magnesium and many useful vitamins. In the daily menu of this component can be present no more than 50-60% (we are talking about pure meat). As for the loin parts and other pieces of the first grade - they do not differ in a large number of valuable trace elements. It is better to give husky offal and pieces with bones. For example, it can be internal organs, liver, ears, scar.
  • It should be noted that husky fat meat is best avoided. Lamb and pork are absolutely not suitable for eating by a dog. It is recommended to buy chicken, turkey or rabbit carcasses for husky. Fresh beef will do.
  • Fish. This is another great source of protein. Fish meat is quickly absorbed by the canine organism and does not cause any kind of allergic reaction. In addition, marine fish also contain components such as zinc, magnesium, iodine and calcium. Husky is recommended to feed fish, thoroughly peeled. In addition, this product must necessarily undergo heat treatment (you can boil fish or stew). The carcasses will need to be thoroughly cleaned of scales, remove the intestines and gills.

Please note: oily fish can provoke vomiting in a dog, as well as serious stool disorder.

  • The eggs. This is another great source of animal protein and fat. This product contains a considerable amount of organic acids, vitamins and minerals. All these components are quickly absorbed by the husky organism. It is advisable to give eggs to dogs in a cooked state.Some experts recommend feeding the dogs chopped eggshells added to the main course. This recommendation is relevant, because it is the shell that is the main source of calcium.
  • Dairy products. Northern breeds are not recommended to give fresh milk. It is better to treat the doggie with fresh homemade yogurt or low-fat kefir instead. If we are talking about a young husky, then he should give cottage cheese, the fat content of which is not more than 10%. It should be borne in mind that dairy products have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract of animals. You can’t do without such products if the pet is moving away from any disease and he needs to get stronger sooner.
  • Fats. These components include vitamins C and D, as well as special linoleic acid. The right percentage of animal fats is present in fresh meat and fish. If you feed the dog with these products, then adding fat from above will not be necessary. Much more useful here are oils, for example, olive, soy, corn or sunflower. It is permissible to pour the oil into the already cooked food, but it is necessary to carefully monitor the introduced dosage of this component.

Excess vegetable fats can lead to problems with the pet’s stomach, because of which he will quickly lose weight, lose weight very much, become lethargic and sad.

  • Fruits and vegetables. Do not neglect vegetables and fruits, making a menu for husky. It is these products that are the sources of plant fiber and vitamin components. Fruits with vegetables can be served to dogs both raw, boiled or stewed. Ordinary carrots are rightfully recognized as the most useful product, but they should be given in moderation. If there are too many carrots in the husky diet, then the color of the coat can get an ugly reddish tint.
  • You can add fresh tomatoes, zucchini and cabbage to the diet (both white and cauliflower are suitable). Of course, these vegetables should be given in limited quantities. Do not overfeed the husky with either tomatoes or cabbage. If you do not follow this rule, then vegetables are more likely to do harm than good.
  • Porridge. In the diet of husky must be included porridge. Most often, these beautiful and energetic pets are given oatmeal, buckwheat and boiled rice. Such dishes are combined with meat and vegetables. The result is a balanced and very satisfying diet, which gives the husky even more strength.

Dry food and canned food

Often, husky owners prefer to feed their pets with finished industrial feeds, which are sold in many stores and are presented in a huge assortment. Such food options are good because they do not need to be cooked in advance - cook or stew. The owner only needs to pour granules or transfer liquid food to the dog's bowl.

Besides, in quality feed from well-known manufacturers there are all the necessary components, vitamins, minerals and useful elements required by the body of a dog of this energetic breed. Of course, in this case we are talking only about high-quality premium or super-premium products. Such feeds are always more expensive, but do not harm the health of animals and contain only natural and safe ingredients.

Husky should not be saved on ready-made feeds either because in low-cost options with a low content usually a negligible percentage of protein occurs. But it is this component that is most needed by the dog.

The main disadvantage of modern industrial feeds is that they cost the owners a lot of money; it can be more difficult to find some options. In addition, some manufacturers simply distort the composition of the finished product, overstating the percentage of meat components contained therein and incorrectly indicating all the names of the ingredients.

Adult dogs are allowed to give combined foods collected from dry and wet food (canned food).

But you should not resort to such feeding in relation to small puppies or teenage dogs.

High-quality feed should not contain preservatives of unknown origin, dyes, flavor enhancers, or other similar chemicals. All the contents of such food should be natural and absolutely safe.

Before you go to the store to buy the perfect ready-made food for the handsome thoroughbred, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian first. He will tell you which products are more suitable for your pet. If you plan to buy food related to the treatment line, then a visit to the veterinarian will be a prerequisite. Food of this kind can be given only according to the testimony of a specialist, otherwise it can cause serious harm to the health of the pet.

Prohibited Products

It is not enough to know how to feed energetic and indefatigable huskies. It is necessary to understand what products these pets should not eat in any case.

  • Do not feed dogs fatty meat products. These include lamb and pork.
  • No need to milk thoroughbred dogs. Fat-free kefir and cottage cheese with a low fat content will be sufficient.
  • A dangerous product for dogs is chicken bones, especially tubular ones. They are small in size and have sharp edges. Very often, chicken bones seriously damage the internal organs of animals. This can lead to very sad consequences.
  • Do not give dogs of any breed chocolate, butter buns and other sweets. Sometimes animals beg these delicacies from their owners. In such cases, you need to be calm and not give in to sad eyes. Take away harmful products so that the dog definitely couldn’t reach them.
  • It is not allowed to feed huskies with grapes or raisins.
  • It is better not to give representatives of this breed nuts and potatoes.
  • Do not add sugar substitute to your dog food.
  • Do not give husky pasta. Typically, such products do not cause particular harm to health, but also do not contain the proper amount of nutrients. It is better to refuse such useless food in favor of the same cereals.
  • Smoked meats, spices, spicy dishes, fried dishes - all these are forbidden for boorish goodies.
  • Food with seasonings and salt should also not be given to thoroughbred dogs.
  • Dishes with any artificial additives can harm the health of the pet, so they do not need to be fed.
  • It is not recommended to feed the husky too cold or too hot products. It is necessary to ensure that the food is close to room temperature - this is the best indicator.

How many times a day do you need to feed?

There is nothing complicated. It all depends on the age of the pet.

  • Very small puppies, whose age has approached 1.5 months, should be fed at least 4-5 times a day.
  • Two- or three-month-old fluffy will need to be fed less often - 3-4 times a day.
  • Until the husky puppy is six months old, it will be necessary to feed it at least 3 times a day. This schedule must be observed so that the animal grows well and develops in the future.
  • Dogs from 6 months to a year should be fed during the day about 2-3 times.

Puppy food

Nutrition for husky babies is a responsible and very serious matter. Here, breeders have to be very careful not to harm the health of the little bully.

With mother's milk, husky puppies receive all the necessary minerals and vitamins for the further growth and development. In the first month of life, the puppy can not worry about how to feed him. It will only be necessary to monitor what the nursing mother eats. At this time, the bitch should consume enough protein.

If the puppy is not very lucky and the bitch does not have milk, then you will need to turn to special hypoallergenic substitutes. In most cases, they are sold as dry mixes. Children need to be fed from a small bottle about once every 15 minutes.The mixture must be warmed up. Under no circumstances should you feed small huskies with cow or goat milk.

Feeding babies is acceptable from 3-4 weeks. In the third week, puppies have a need for many vitamins and minerals. A growing organism will need additional energy sources.

The diet of the bitch does not need to be changed.

It is advisable to continue feeding babies with breast milk until they are two months old.

Starting from one and a half to two months, the diet of babies will not undergo major changes. At this time, babies should eat at least 6 times a day. When the puppies turn 2 months old, then the food should be five times a day. It will be possible to diversify the feed a little later and not sharply. The diet of two-month-old babies should not be deprived of vegetables (it is too early to give cabbage or tomatoes), cereals. It is allowed to give meat, but first it must be cut into very small pieces. It can be raw or scalded. It is permissible to serve dairy products for babies. The ideal solution would be Agusha baby products.

    In the period from 3 to 4 months, husky puppies can be served raw meat, if before that you only gave them cooked. Such products will contribute to the rapid growth and development of babies. Closer to 4 months, the nutrition of puppies can be supplemented with boiled and mashed fish, thoroughly peeled. The diet should be three meals a day.

    As for the period from 5 to 6 months, here it will be possible to switch to the use of offal. An untreated scar will be especially useful. It can be cut into very small pieces (the size of a little finger), and then sent to the freezer. Serve these blanks in combination with the main feed or as a treat-reward.

    It must be borne in mind that at this age, small husky begin to understand more in the lives of these pets and include encouraging treats. Such a meal can replace one of the meals, but should not repeat the same dish that the baby eats at home.

    Starting from 6 months, a husky puppy can be transferred to three meals a day. Further, portions of an already grown dog that has reached the age of seven months will increase based on his needs.

    From 6 months to a year in young husky, milk teeth are replaced by permanent ones. At this time, you can safely switch to a more serious, adult diet. However, until the pet is 8 months old, it still needs to be fed 3 times a day.

    Feeding adult dogs

    Eating adult huskies is very different from eating little puppies. As soon as the dog is one year old, he will need to be gradually transferred to the food that corresponds to his age. You need to select high-quality industrial feed if you decide to give your pet them, not natural products.

    Mature dogs can be given dry granular food, which puppies usually do not present because of weak milk teeth.

    Adult dogs need to buy healthy foods with a lot of vitamins and minerals in their composition. You can resort to the introduction of vitamin supplements. Just never give your pets vitamins designed for humans and bought at a regular pharmacy. Such drugs can only harm the animal, but certainly not help. For vitamin supplements, you need to go to the pet store. It is better to consult a veterinarian before doing this.

    If you select food for elderly animals, then it must be borne in mind that they are especially urgent in vitamins B6, B12, A and E. It is necessary to timely change the diet for an animal of advanced age. If an old boorish man has any problems associated with the musculoskeletal system, then he needs to provide food with high-quality vitamin-mineral complexes, characterized by a high content of chondroitin and glucosamine.

    Useful Tips

    If you keep husky dogs at home and want to find the perfect food for him, then you should remember that salt can not be salt for dogs. If you suddenly notice that the dog began to eat up the earth, going outside, then the veterinarians advise giving the pet a little salt (literally on the tip of the knife) once a day.

    If the dog is prone to allergic reactions, then during the walk she can be allowed to eat a small piece of horse droppings. It will help the animal cope with allergies. Some people specifically go to the stables to stock up on this component. Why it acts on dogs like that is hard to say.

    It is permissible to add a little oil to the husky food. A product made from olives is ideal. It is permissible for them to sprinkle the delicacy that you are going to serve the dog. If your pet doesn’t eat very well, oil will certainly help to arouse his appetite.

    According to veterinarians, for husky eating natural food, it is necessary to stock up on wood. She will help animals strengthen gums. For this, willow or twigs of any other weeping tree are suitable. They contain a lot of different vitamins and a bit of bitterness. If you give them to your pet, then you should pay attention to whether chips are stuck between them between the teeth.

    Once you put a bowl of food in front of the husky, nothing else can be added to it. It is also not recommended to feed these animals, even if you realized that you had missed something on your friend.

    Husky should not be given broths and soups. An exception may be only the broth, which was halved with water, which was provided to the dog literally an hour before the start of the race. In other situations, the animal can get such a nuisance as diarrhea or even dysbiosis.

    Never feed huskies with food from a human table. As for the goodies, they should be given solely as rewards. Often they should not feed the pet, otherwise it will cease to perceive them as pleasant rewards for the right actions.

    Giving husky stuffing is not recommended. Representatives of this breed have no chewing teeth. If you give them twisted meat, then in the end it can lead to problems in the digestive tract.

    Husky usually does not require frequent changes of food. They can eat the same thing for a long time with great pleasure.

    If your pet has been sterilized or neutered, then its nutrition will need to be limited, otherwise the husky cannot be overweight. The portion size will need to be reduced, and there are not many goodies to give.
