It is not easy to provide nutritious and balanced feeding for a Siberian Husky. It is difficult to get all the necessary nutrients from the purchased raw food ingredients.
However, many people still persist in trying, believing that dogs are also part of the family and should have a similar diet to humans. However, this effort should be practiced only after understanding what the balanced nutritional needs of dogs are.
The main food for dogs should be animal protein, so it should contain meat and dairy products. It is also necessary to choose fresh animal liver rich in vitamin A and process it for dogs to eat. Dogs have a lower ability to digest and absorb carbohydrates than humans, so rice, bread, and other starchy foods should not be eaten in excess. Rice should also be softer and more moist for easier digestion. The amount of salt that dogs need is only about one-third of what humans need, so it should be less salty when prepared.
Of course, foods with high salt content should not be fed to them. Strong spices with a strong flavor should not be used. It is appropriate to supplement calcium and phosphorus according to the dog’s growth and development, but it should be noted that too much or too little of these elements can be harmful and hinder the dog’s health, so it should be appropriate.
Nutrients that are in short supply in a dog’s diet can also be supplemented with special dog food designed to provide additional nutrition. If you feed your dog the same food as your family, you must be careful of the following issues. Human food contains a lot of starch, which can result in excessive carbohydrates in the dog’s diet. You must be careful not to give your dog too much salt.
