Pet Care Tips: Siberian Huskies
- 16/08/2012
If you're someone who's looking for some much needed excitement in the household, it would probably be a good idea for you to start thinking of getting a pet. The most common choices for pets among potential owners these days are dogs.
Granted, there are several breeds to choose from, each one with their own distinct personalities and appearances, but if you want a breed that can be independent and still remain loyal to you, a Siberian husky would be the perfect choice. Yet, despite their independence, you may actually want to look into a few tips on how you can take care of them properly before deciding to acquire one.
- It's highly important that you make regular visits to the veterinarian to check up on their health. Huskies can easily succumb to physical ailments even after just a few months, especially since it's still adapting to environment. This can simply make them vulnerable to all sorts of dog-centric sicknesses. Because of the diseases not showing any actual symptoms until it's too late, it's highly important that you ensure they're treated and vaccinated regularly.
- Another matter to take into serious consideration is their diet. Huskies are known to survive even on just small amounts of food, unlike other breeds. However, that doesn't mean you can just ignore their dietary needs as well. You need to make sure that they're the recipients of a properly balanced diet. For the most part, their food should mainly be rich in protein and fats. With so many commercial products which don't actually offer these ingredients, it would be best for you to actually make your own dog food. An important fact to remember when doing so is that their food should contain at least 45 percent's worth of protein.
- If you're getting a husky for a pet dog, you will want to look into their affiliation. This breed of dog is known to be more comfortable in groups, and is surely sociable with other breeds. Aside from that, they can become rather attached to their owners, seeing as they don't want to be lonely at all. If they're left alone for long periods of time, they'll start becoming chaotic and may simply make a huge mess out of the several areas in your house. Therefore, if you're hell bent on getting a Husky for a pet, it's important that you get it another companion, regardless of whatever breed you choose. They can also be quite sociable with cats, which speaks volumes about how gentle & friendly they really are.
