Recommended daily amount: 1.5 to 2 cups of high-quality dry food a day, divided into two meals.
Siberian Husky requires less food per pound than most other same-size breeds. Their diet must be high in protein and fat. Premium brands of dog food can provide optimal nourishment with smaller amounts of food. Follow a feeding schedule and use a formula that fits your dog's lifestyle. Active working Siberian Husky needs a performance formula. For the average Siberian Huskies that goes for walks or even occasional hikes, a maintenance formula is better. Ask a knowlegible breeder or your veterinarian for feeding advice.
