1. Feeding Alaskan Malamute

The reasonable food ratio for puppies is 35% meat, 33% cereals, 30% fruits and vegetables and 2% additives. However, it is very difficult to achieve the above-mentioned reasonable nutritional ratio with homemade food. Dog food is produced according to this nutritional ratio. Therefore, the best food for Alaskan Malamutes is dog food.

In addition, it is best to feed Alaskan dogs mainly dry food, and try not to feed them soup-based food. Before 3 months, the puppy's food (including dog food) should be completely soaked in water.

The gastrointestinal tract of Alaskan Malamutes is not very good, so they cannot eat things that are too greasy. It is best not to have oil in the dog food or rice that Alaskan Malamutes eat. Due to the intestinal problems of puppies, special puppy food on the market needs to be used during the feeding process. As the Alaskan dog continues to grow, the dog food should gradually transition to adult dog food.

Due to the uniqueness of the Alaskan dog’s intestines and stomach, remember not to feed too much at one time. And make sure to feed regularly, and don't eat a full meal before a hungry meal. This can easily cause gastric torsion and gastric bleeding, and is not conducive to the absorption of nutrients. Be sure to feed small and frequent meals (puppies 3 to 4 times a day).

2. Tips: Food taboos for Alaskan Malamutes

1) Small and sharp bones such as chickens, ducks, and fish. The ends of these bones are very sharp, and the bones are very small. This type of food can easily penetrate the Alaskan Malamute's throat or cut the dog's mouth, esophagus, stomach or intestines. Seriously, it can cause internal bleeding in Alaskan Malamutes, threatening life safety.

2) Chocolate. Foods rich in theobromine are unhealthy for Alaskan Malamutes and can lead to reduced blood flow to the brain, which may lead to heart disease and other life-threatening problems.

3) Foods such as onions and scallions are also inedible to Alaskan Malamutes. Because the rich disulfide content can cause oxidation of red blood cells in Alaskan Malamutes, it may cause hemolytic anemia.

4) Raw meat and meat with high fat content cannot be eaten by Alaskan Malamutes. Because this kind of food can easily cause the dog’s capillaries, bleeding and obesity. Or the Alaskan Malamute may be threatened by Salmonella and Bacillus, seriously affecting its health.
