Nutrition – The breed typically only needs to be fed once or twice a day with a high quality, high protein dog food is essential for the Siberian’s healthy skin and coat.
Adjustments in the level of protein in the food is required for the working Siberian, based on the level of activity. 20% lower protein level may be appropriate, in the summer months and 32% while a dog working in harness in wintertime. The amount of food the dog receives should be matched to its age and activity level to prevent any weight problems.Feeding your dog with the right foods and amounts are very important. Balance diet can be obtained at home with natural home made food apart from commercial dry food.
Vegetables-Vegetables are source of many important elements like vitamins, minerals and fibers which are very important for your dog’s health. Vegetables like pumpkin, zucchini, peas, carrots, beets, yams, broccoli, green beans, sweet potato and cauliflower should make up to a quarter of the total food given to dogs.
Meat-Dogs are carnivores by nature and prefer mostly meat based diets. Cooked meat is the most preferable dog food and should be part of any balanced diet.
There are several meat options available for dogs: beef, lamb, pork, turkey, chicken, venison and ostrich are some of the most common.
Grooming – Weekly brushings help keep the coat and skin in good condition. Siberians have a double coat—an undercoat, and guard hair. Advice to use a pin brush and metal comb. shedding of hairs are seasonal.
Exercise – Siberian Husky is a natural athlete who need a lot of exercise. They are a working breed and happiest when they have a function to perform. Siberians were bred to run and will do so at every opportunity. Regular exercise is important both physically and mentally, and doing activities together strengthens the bond between dog and owner. However, it is a misconception that the Siberian needs lots of open space. Adequate exercise can be achieved within a small fenced area or with daily walks.
To get a healthy pet, never buy a puppy from a backyard breeder, puppy mill, or pet store.
