By Clarence Clark

When considering adopting a pet dog, there are certain factors that you have to take note of. These factors include the nature of the dog, the characteristic of the dog and the temperament of the dog. For example, some dogs are very dependent on the owner while some dogs are very independent. If you are a working professional with little time to spare for your dog, you should go for a Siberian husky, as the husky is a very independent breed of dog. Although they are very independent, it might take some time for them to adapt to the environment of your home, as they are used to living in the wilderness. Therefore, there are 3 crucial tips to care for Siberian huskies in order to help them adapt to the new environment.

Tip #1: Health check

Regular health checks at the vet are very crucial. During the first few months of stay in your house, it is exceptionally easy for the husky to fall sick, as it is still not used to the new environment. Therefore, it is very vulnerable to dog-related diseases. Normally, these diseases do not show any symptoms during the initial stages. What’s worse is that it is usually easier to treat these diseases during the early stages of infection. Therefore, it is essential to bring the husky for regular checkups at the vet. Vaccination is highly recommended, as prevention is always better than cure. Regular checkups at the vet will ensure that your husky will stay healthy at all times. If it is your first time having a pet dog, you can also get some grooming and diet tips from the vet as well.

Tip #2: Diet

The original breed of husky will be able to survive on a considerably small amount of food as compared to other breeds of dog. Even though it is the case, there is no reason why you should ignore the procedure of planning a well-balanced diet for the husky. For a husky to eat healthily, its diet must consist of foods that contain high proteins and fats. However, it is ironic that most of the commercial dog foods in the market does provide such elements that the husky needs. Therefore, many husky owners choose to prepare the food on their own especially for their huskies. As a rough guide of how to prepare the dog meals, protein should be 45% of the total volume of food intake for each meal.

Tip #3: Affiliation

Huskies prefer to go around in groups, as they like to mix with others. In short, they are ‘afraid’ of loneliness. When they are alone and there is nothing for them to do, things will turn nasty when they start to make a mess out of your bedroom or start to dig the ground of your garden. For that reason, it is best for you to get a companion for your husky. What you can do is to adopt a few huskies at the same time so that they can be companions for one another. Also, you can choose to adopt other pets, like cats for instance. As the huskies are gentle and friendly in nature, you do not need to worry that they will fight with each another.

Although owning a Siberian husky is not that hard, it is essential that you follow the 3 crucial tips to care for Siberian huskies or life will be hard for you as a pet owner.
