Part of your Siberian Husky’s care will be to find the best diet
for your dog. There are many good brands of dog food on the market
that will give your pet a well rounded balance of vitamins and
nutrients. It is generally better to select a high-quality brand
of food, since these will offer the necessary nutrients while
keeping your dog’s weight in check. It is best to care for your
Siberian Husky by feeding him on a regular schedule with measured
amounts of food each time. Many of these dogs will eat all food
set before them, which means that free feeding your husky may
lead to obesity problems. If you are in doubt over the amount
of food to feed your dog, you can check with your vet or breeder
for advice on measuring.
Selecting A Dog Food
Most dogs will do very well on a strict diet of high quality
dry dog food, although some owners prefer to use a mix of dry
and canned food. Whatever you and your dog prefer will probably
work just fine. Part of the care of your Siberian Husky requires
you to hunt out the foods that your dog likes best. There is a
word of caution on this point, however. Since huskies can have
a tendency to be strong-willed, your dog may attempt to train
you to the food he wants to eat. If you find that your dog is
turning up his nose at dog food because he wants to eat what you
are eating, stick with your guns until your pet finally accepts
the fact that dog food will be his only menu choice.
Doggy Treats
Of course, you can supplement that simple diet with the occasional
treat. In fact, there are some recipes for homemade doggy delights
that your pet is almost sure to lick his chops over! If you are
a fan of raw foods, you can try offering your dog carrot pieces
as a natural snack on occasion. Some dogs enjoy the crunch of
this treat. Good care of your Siberian Husky will include finding
healthy treats that you can offer to your dog during training
sessions or whenever you want to give him a special snack.
Things You Should Never Feed Your Dog
Along with the right menu choices that you will make in caring
for your Siberian Husky, there are also some foods that should
never be offered to dogs. Some of these items can be so poisonous
to your dog; it can become a life-threatening situation if the
product is eaten. These items include chocolate, which contains
a chemical that can cause your dog’s heart to race. Onions and
garlic can cause liver damage in your dog. Raw eggs are a poor
choice for your pet as well, because of the risk of salmonella
poisoning. While the risk is small, most pet owners would agree
that raw eggs are not worth the risk. Although bones have long
been touted as every doggy’s favorite treat, bones can splinter
and get caught in your dog’s throat. Responsible care for your
Siberian Husky includes making sure that your dog does not come
in contact with any of these foods that are dangerous for him.
While good nutrition is important for your Siberian Husky’s care,
most dog owners would agree that an occasional treat will do more
good for your dog than harm. You can even find some
delicacies that you can cook for your Siberian Husky.
