Feeding
# Feeding your Alaskan Klee Kai well
United States
The Alaskan Klee Kai needs a good quality diet, sufficiently rich in animal proteins and adapted to its age, its weight and its activity level. Its energetic profile justifies a well-calibrated ration, without excess but with good nutritional intake to support effort and muscle maintenance.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: A growth diet for a small dog must support development without excess, with several meals spread throughout the day.
- Adult: The ration must be adapted to the dog's actual activity and maintained in 2 meals to promote good digestive regularity.
- Senior: With age, energy intake may need to be adjusted and monitoring body condition becomes even more important.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Premium kibble for an active small dog generally suits the Alaskan Klee Kai very well, provided it is adapted to its life stage. A home-prepared or mixed diet can also be considered, but it must then be properly balanced with the help of a veterinarian.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily amount depends mainly on actual weight, age, sex, sterilization, the food’s energy density and the level of exercise. It is preferable to base it on the manufacturer’s recommendations and then adjust according to the dog’s body condition rather than following a fixed theoretical amount.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3 - 6 kg | 98 - 142 g | 2 |
| 6 - 8 kg | 146 - 211 g | 2 |
| 8 - 11 kg | 184 - 252 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual over several days in order to limit digestive upsets. A transition spread over about a week, gradually increasing the proportion of the new food, is generally well tolerated.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available at all times, especially for an active dog or in hot weather. After exercise, care must be taken to ensure good rehydration without encouraging too sudden a water intake right after intense exertion.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats can be useful in the training of this intelligent and sensitive dog, provided they remain moderate and are included in the total ration. It is better to favor small, tasty rewards that are easy to digest.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Weigh the ration rather than measuring it approximately.
- Split the food into 2 meals per day for the adult.
- Adjust the ration during periods of more intense or calmer activity.
- Introduce any new food gradually over several days.
### Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, avocado, very fatty foods, cooked bones, alcohol, caffeine and products containing xylitol should be avoided, as they can cause sometimes serious poisoning, digestive, neurological or cardiac.
