A menu for every age
Their needs change as they grow
Puppy: Growth food adapted to the expected size, divided into three meals, without unnecessary calcium supplementation.
Adult: Controlled ration in two meals, adjusted to ideal weight and actual activity.
Senior: Digestible food, possibly less energy-dense, with joint and dental monitoring.
Which food?
Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Premium kibble for an active medium-sized dog is generally very suitable, provided it is digestible and well tolerated. Depending on the dog's profile, a wet or mixed diet can also be considered with the veterinarian's advice to support hydration or palatability.
Portion sizes
How much should you feed?
The quantity must be adjusted according to weight, age, sterilization, outside temperature and above all the actual level of activity. A companion Husky often expends less than a working dog, which makes it necessary to avoid overly generous standard rations.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
|---|---|---|
| 16 - 21 kg | 323 - 443 g | 2 |
| 21 - 25 kg | 362 - 497 g | 2 |
| 25 - 30 kg | 427 - 585 g | 2 |
Changing food
How to switch foods successfully
Any dietary change must be made gradually over several days in order to limit digestive upsets. A gentle transition makes it possible to observe appetite, stool quality and overall tolerance to the new formula.
Hydration
Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available at all times. Hydration deserves increased attention in hot weather, after exertion and during prolonged travel.
A little extra
Treats in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and be included in the calculation of the daily ration. They are useful for training, but it is better to favor simple, low-calorie rewards so as not to disrupt the dietary balance.
Good habits
Make mealtimes count
- Split the daily ration into 2 meals for better digestive comfort.
- Adjust the quantities according to actual activity and the season.
- Weigh the dog regularly to quickly adjust the ration if needed.
- Introduce any new food gradually.
Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, you should avoid chocolate, grapes, onion, garlic, alcohol, xylitol, cooked bones and very fatty or very salty foods, as they can cause poisoning, severe digestive disorders or neurological damage.
