Eye illnesses – cataracts, corneal dystrophy, progressive retinal atrophy;
Hypothyroidism – numerous complications might appear because the dog’s thyroid produces insufficient hormones;
Hip dysplasia – femur and joint condition;
Dental issues – tartar, gum infections, etc. – for this reason, it’s essential to clean your dog’s teeth regularly;
Parasites – bugs, worms, bacteria, ticks, fleas – so pay attention to the food and water you give to your dog, the places where you take it for a walk, and remember the importance of trimestral or biannual deworming done at the vet;
Infections – viral or bacterial ones; fortunately, you can prevent all sorts of problems, including rabies, by vaccinating your dog;
Obesity – I know how hard it is to stare into your dog’s eyes while he begs for food and not give him too many treats, but you must remain strong and think about your husky’s well-being. Playing active games or walking outside are practical ways to avert obesity in huskies.
One way to prevent several health conditions is through neutering or spaying. This medical procedure is usually safe and easy for veterinarians and has many health benefits for dogs. Neutered huskies tend to live longer and be healthier. Female dogs don’t go into heat, while male huskies won’t feel the need to walk away from home.
It’s also a solution to fight off obesity, not to mention how well-behaved your husky will become.
Proper food – healthy, wholesome, high-quality kibble and canned dog food;
Plenty of exercise – daily walks, playing physically active games, fetch, etc.;
Love and affection may sound redundant, but your pet needs a lot of your time, love, attention, and affection. With my pets, this goes without saying – I love them to pieces; they’re important family members, and I treat them as such.
Like children, dogs must follow a routine and have a specific schedule. You should supervise your husky the same way you would a toddler. Remove all harmful objects around the house and lock or block doors and rooms, if necessary, to keep your dog out of trouble.
Don’t give your husky people food; stick to dog food;
Clean your pet’s ears once a week;
Weekly fur brushes are great; daily brushes are needed during shedding season;
Brush your dog’s teeth a couple of times per week;
Watch out for any unusual behavior or symptoms, and seek specialized help whenever necessary.
Concerning symptoms include frequent scratching, head shaking, ear or nose discharge, discolored urine, skin rashes, and trembling. All these should be treated as emergencies, so you must seek medical attention immediately.
Husky puppies grow quickly, so their diet must be rich in calcium and phosphorous to support strong bones and overall good health. Minerals and vitamins are also essential for your pet’s well-being.
Inappropriate nutritional portions might interfere with these dogs’ development. I would not give my husky raw food since that might increase infection-related risks, like salmonella. Puppies shouldn’t follow a grain-free diet to prevent potential heart disease.
