Nutrition
A Husky's metabolism is incredibly efficient, a legacy of their sled-pulling days where they survived on minimal calories. In a modern home, this means they can easily become overweight if overfed. A high-protein, moderate-fat diet is ideal to support their lean muscle mass. For an adult weighing 22kg, focus on 250-300g of premium dry food daily, split into two meals. Be careful with treats; they don't need much. Many individual Huskies also benefit from a grain-free diet or raw feeding (BARF) if they have sensitive stomachs, which is common in the breed.
