The Siberian Husky requires a relatively small amount of food for his
size. This trait may be traced to the origins of the breed, as the
Chukchi's developed their dogs to pull a light load at a fast pace over
great distances in low temperatures on the smallest possible intake of
food. Huskies are unlike many other breeds as they will regulate their intake. When they are full, they will leave whatever is left. The more you work or exercise your dog - the more they will eat. The less you exercise, the less they will eat. Try not to leave food around all day. Keep to set meal times & remove any food not eaten within 15 minutes. This isn't true for all Huskies. Some will eat as much as you can give them and therefore you have to be careful on their food intake. You may think you are being nice by feeding them treats, but being an overweight dog will shorten it's life expectancy. Siberian Husky owners differ in their preference to food. Some use a Raw diet - called BARF (Bones and Raw Food), other prefer Dry food from pet food manufacturers. Some feed their dogs a mix of canned and dry food twice a day. Others feed only dry and once per day. Be sure and pick a frequency of feeding, brand, and type of food to suit your dogs needs. Siberian Huskies are renowned for being very 'picky' eaters. It can sometimes be a challenge to get them to eat at all. |

My name is Deby, and I'm just like one of your crazy neighbours who is
madly in love with her pets. Calls her pets her babies, and refer self
to pets as "mommy" and significant-half as "daddy". I do not deny that
most people think I'm crazy, but I know - somewhere out there - are
others like myself...
