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

General recommendations

Huskies should be grown at home according to the rules. And this concerns not only the strict upbringing of these disobedient animals, but also their feeding.

The menu for these beautiful riders is required to be made in such a way that it is balanced, filled with all the necessary vitamins and minerals.

One of the most important rules for feeding huskies is the mandatory meal after a walk. Many people know that the representatives of this world famous breed are distinguished by enviable energy and active behavior. They love to run, jump and play a lot. For this reason, before going for a walk (5 hours before going out) you should not give any pet treats to your pet - this can lead to blotting of guts. Such problems often lead to the death of the animal. This recommendation should not be neglected if you value the life and health of your pet.

Veterinarians do not recommend giving mixed food to northern dogs (meaning a combination of dry and natural food). This may eventually result in their gastrointestinal tract not functioning correctly. The animal will suffer because of this.

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

You can see that animals that expose themselves to serious physical exertion and eat properly, look a bit dried from the side. They can see the ribs on the sides, as well as well-defined muscles. Dogs that have prominent ribs are not participating in exhibitions, but the musculature can still be perfectly visible. Exhaustion or obesity - these are not the problems that Husky dogs suffer from. Such a distinctive feature takes place due to the corresponding loads and properly built power mode. Interesting fact: an obese husky will lose weight much faster and lose weight than an exhausted dog will gain weight and grow fat.

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

It 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 bones be ensured.

What can be given to dogs?

Representatives of the well-known Husky breed are classified as undemanding and undemanding pets. Ensuring that these pets eat right is not difficult. The main thing is to know which foods you can eat and which you cannot eat. Let's consider what food will be useful for these pets, and what will bring only harm.

Natural food

Each owner must decide in advance on what kind of food he will give his pet. Huskies can be fed with natural food, and you can buy ready-made industrial feeds from famous 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 Huskies without fear for his health.

  • Meat. The menu of a riding northern dog should not be without meat. This product contains the body needs protein, calcium, magnesium, and many beneficial 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 sirloin portions and other pieces of the first grade - they are not distinguished by a large number of valuable microelements. 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 it is better not to give fatty husky meat. Lamb and pork are absolutely not suitable for human consumption by a dog. It is recommended to buy chicken, turkey or rabbit carcasses for Huskies. Suit and fresh beef.
  • A fish. This is another excellent source of protein. Fish meat is very quickly absorbed by a dog's body and does not cause any kind of allergic reactions. In addition, in marine fish there are components such as zinc, magnesium, iodine and calcium. Huskies are recommended to be fed with fish, carefully cleaned of seeds. In addition, this product must necessarily undergo heat treatment (fish can be boiled or extinguished). The carcass will need to be thoroughly cleaned of scales, remove the intestines and gills.

Consider: a fatty fish can provoke vomiting in a dog, as well as a serious disorder of the stool.

  • Eggs This is another great source of protein and animal fat. This product contains a considerable amount of organic acids, vitamins and microelements. All these components are quickly absorbed by the body of the Husky. It is advisable to give eggs in dogs welded. Some experts recommend feeding the dogs with chopped egg shells added to the main course. This recommendation is relevant because the shell is the main source of calcium.
  • Milk products. Dogs of northern breeds are not recommended to give fresh milk. It is better to pamper the doggie with fresh homemade yoghurt or low-fat yogurt instead. If we are talking about a young Husky, then he should be given cottage cheese, the fat content of which is no more than 10%. Keep in mind that fermented milk products have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract of animals. Without such products can not do if the pet moves away from any disease and he needs to get stronger soon.
  • Fat These components include vitamins C and D, as well as special linoleic acid. The required percentage of animal fat is present in fresh meat and fish. If you feed the dog with these foods, adding fat from above will not be necessary. Much more useful here will be oil, for example, olive, soybean, corn or sunflower. It is permissible to pour oil into already prepared food, but it is necessary to carefully monitor the dosage of this component.

Excess vegetable fat can lead to problems with the pet's stomach, which is why it will start to lose weight quickly, lose weight, become sluggish and sad.

  • Fruits and vegetables. Do not neglect vegetables and fruits, making the menu for huskies. These products are the sources of plant fiber and vitamin components. Fruits with vegetables can be served to dogs either raw or boiled or stewed. Ordinary carrots are rightfully recognized as the most useful product, but they should be given in moderation.If the carrots in the diet Husky will be too much, then the color of the coat can get an ugly reddish tinge.
  • You can make in the diet fresh tomatoes, zucchini and cabbage (suitable and white and cauliflower). Of course, these vegetables should be given in limited quantities. Do not overfeed the huskies with tomatoes or cabbage. If you do not follow this rule, the vegetables will harm rather than benefit.
  • Kashi. In the diet Husk 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, the Husky owners prefer to feed their pets with ready-made 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 prepared in advance - cook or simmer. The owner only needs to pour the granules or transfer the liquid food to the dog's bowl.

Besides, All the necessary components are available in high-quality feeds from reputable manufacturers., 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 always cost more, but do not harm the health of animals and contain only natural and safe ingredients.

On the ready-made feed for huskies, one should not save money either, because in low-cost options with a scanty content an insignificant percentage of protein usually takes place. But it is precisely this component that the dog needs most.

The main disadvantage of modern industrial feed is that they cost the owners very expensive, some options are harder to find. In addition, some manufacturers simply distort the composition of the finished product, overestimating the percentage of meat components contained there 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 do not resort to such feeding in relation to small puppies or teenage dogs.

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

Before you go to the store for the purchase of the perfect ready-made feed for purebred handsome, it is recommended to first consult with a veterinarian. He will tell you what products are more suitable for your pet. If you plan to buy food related to the medical line, then a visit to the vet will be a prerequisite. This kind of food can only be given according to the testimony of a specialist, otherwise it can cause serious harm to the pet's health.

Prohibited Products

It is not enough to know what is allowed to feed energetic and indefatigable husky. It is also necessary to sort out what products these pets should not have under any circumstances.

  • Do not feed dogs fatty meat products. These include lamb and pork.
  • No need to water thoroughbred dogs milk. It will be enough to skim kefir and cottage cheese with a low percentage of fat.
  • A dangerous product for dogs is chicken bones, especially tubular ones. They are small and have sharp edges. Very often, the chicken bones seriously damage the internal organs of animals. This can lead to very sad consequences.
  • You can not give dogs of any breed chocolate, buns and other sweets. Sometimes animals beg at the owners for these delicacies. In such cases, it is necessary to show composure and not succumb to sad eyes. Keep harmful products away to prevent the dog from getting to them.
  • It is not allowed to feed the huskies with grapes or raisins.
  • It is better not to give the representatives of this breed nuts and potatoes.
  • Do not add sugar substitute to dog food.
  • Do not give Husky pasta. Typically, such products do not cause any special harm to health, but they also do not contain the proper amount of useful substances. It is better to refuse such useless food in favor of the same porridges.
  • Smoked meats, spices, spicy foods, fried dishes - all this is forbidden for rude delicacies.
  • Food with spices and salt should also not be given to pedigree dogs.
  • Meals with any artificial additives can harm the health of the pet, so they do not need to feed them.
  • It is not recommended to feed huskies with too cold or too hot foods. You need to ensure that the food was close to room temperature - this is the best indicator.

How many times a day do you need to feed?

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

  • Very small puppies, whose age has reached 1.5 months, should eat at least 4-5 times a day.
  • Two or three months old fluff will need to be fed less frequently, 3-4 times a day.
  • Until the husky puppy is not half a year old, it will be necessary to feed it at least 3 times a day. This schedule must be strictly observed so that the animal grows well and develops further.
  • Dogs from 6 months and up to a year should eat about 2-3 times a day.

Puppy food

Husky babies nutrition is a responsible and very serious matter. Here breeders have to be very careful not to harm the health of the little hooligan.

With mother's milk, husky puppies get all the necessary microelements and vitamins for further growth and development. In the first month of life, the puppy can not worry about what to feed him. It will be necessary only to monitor what a 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. It is necessary to feed the babies from a small bottle about once every 15 minutes. The mixture must be heated. Under no circumstances do not feed the little husky cow or goat milk.

It is permissible to feed babies from 3-4 weeks. For the third week, puppies have a need for many vitamins and trace elements. A growing body will need additional energy sources.

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

It is desirable to continue feeding the babies with mother's milk until they reach two months of age.

Starting with one and a half and up 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 are 2 months old, the food should be five meals a day. You can diversify feed a little later and not dramatically. The diet of two-month babies should not be deprived of vegetables (it is too early to give cabbage or tomatoes), croup. It is allowed to give meat, but beforehand it should be cut into very small pieces. It may be raw or scalded. It is permissible to serve babies dairy products. The ideal solution will be children's products "Agusha".

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

    As for the period from 5 to 6 months - here it will be possible to proceed to the use of by-products. Especially useful will be the unrefined scar. It can be cut into very small pieces (the size of a little finger), and then sent to the freezer.Serve these preparations in combination with the main feed or as a delicacy-promotion.

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

    From 6 months puppy husky 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 on the basis of its needs.

    From 6 months to a year, young Husky's milk teeth are replaced by permanent ones. At this time, you can safely move on 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

    The nutrition of adult huskies differs in many ways from the nutrition of small puppies. As soon as the dog is one year old, it will have to be gradually transferred to the feed that corresponds to its age. It is necessary to select high-quality industrial feed, if you decide to give your pet, rather than natural products.

    Matured dogs can be given dry granulated feed, which puppies are usually not presented because of weak milk teeth.

    Adult dogs need to buy healthy food with plenty of vitamins and minerals in the composition. You can resort to making vitamin supplements. Only never give pets vitamins designed for humans and bought in a regular pharmacy. Such drugs can only harm the animal, but certainly not help. For vitamin supplements should go to the pet store. It is better to consult with a veterinarian before.

    If you are choosing food for older animals, then we must take into account that they are particularly in need of vitamins B6, B12, A and E. It is necessary to change the diet for the elderly animal. If an old boorish person has any problems associated with the musculoskeletal system, then he needs to be provided with high-quality vitamin-mineral complexes characterized by a high content of chondroitin and glucosamine.

    Useful tips

    If you keep a husky at home and you want to find the perfect food for it, then you should remember that it is impossible to salt the food for dogs in any way. If you suddenly notice that the dog began to eat up the ground, going outside, the veterinarians advise you to give your pet a little salt (literally at the tip of the knife) once a day.

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

    It is permissible to add quite a bit of oil to the food for the husky. Ideal product made from olives. They are allowed to sprinkle the treat that you are going to serve the dog. If your pet does not eat very well, the oil will certainly help to awaken its appetite.

    According to veterinarians, for husky, eating natural food, you need to stock up on wood. It will help animals to strengthen the gums. For this fit willow or twigs of any other weeping tree. 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 the chips are stuck between their teeth.

    As soon as you put a bowl of food in front of the Husky, nothing can be added to it anymore. It is also not recommended to feed these animals, even if you realized that something was not enough for your friend.

    Husky should not be given broths or soups. The only exception is the broth diluted in half with water, which was given to the dog just an hour before the start of the race.In other situations, the animal can get such trouble as diarrhea or even dysbacteriosis.

    Never feed a husky with food from the human table. As for delicacies, they should be given exclusively as rewards. Often, they should not be fed by a pet, otherwise it will cease to perceive them as pleasant rewards for correct actions.

    Giving husky mince is not recommended. Representatives of this breed do not have chewing teeth. If you give them twisted meat, then in the end it can lead to problems in the digestive tract.

    Huskies usually do not require frequent power changes. For a long time they can with great pleasure eat the same thing.

    If your pet has been sterilized or neutered, then its nutrition will have to be limited, otherwise the husky cannot be overweight. The size of the portions will have to be reduced, and not many sweets.
