Feeding Guidelines

Alaskan breeds are active and require a balanced diet to maintain their energy levels. Here’s a general feeding guide:

• Alaskan Malamute: 3-5 cups of high-quality dry food daily, split into two meals. Adjust portions based on activity level.
• Siberian Husky: 2-3 cups of dry food daily, split into two meals. Huskies are known for efficient metabolism.
• Alaskan Husky: 2-4 cups of dry food daily, depending on weight and activity.
• Samoyed: 2-3 cups of dry food daily, with a focus on protein-rich diets.
• Greenland Dog: 3-4 cups of dry food daily, ideal for working dogs.
• Alaskan Klee Kai: 1-2 cups of dry food daily, suitable for smaller breeds.
• Seppala Siberian Sled Dog: 2-4 cups of dry food daily, tailored for sledding dogs.
• American Eskimo: 1-2 cups of dry food daily, with a focus on maintaining a healthy coat.

Grooming Tips

Alaskan breeds have dense double coats that require regular grooming to prevent matting and maintain their health:

• Brushing: Use a slicker brush or pin brush to remove loose fur and prevent tangles. Brush at least twice a week, and daily during shedding seasons.
• Bathing: Bathe only when necessary, as frequent bathing can strip natural oils. Ensure the coat is thoroughly dried to prevent fungal infections.
• Nail Trimming: Trim nails every 4-6 weeks to prevent overgrowth and discomfort.
• Ear Cleaning: Check ears weekly for debris or signs of infection. Clean gently with a vet-approved solution.
• Dental Care: Brush teeth 2-3 times a week to maintain oral health and prevent tartar buildup.
