Thanks for the reply, beating myself up over this. will get started trying to put this to a end.

Welcome to you and beautiful Nova. I have never seen a 100% husky with her colouration - but it is extremely attractive.

No healthy dog will willingly starve himself. One of my boys was a very picky eater .................... it turned out he had several severe food allergies (9 of them). Does he have any bouts with diarrhoea / constipation / vomiting - even if only bile / apparent tenderness of the gut etc. If not and you are positive that it is just fussiness then you have a few options:- Look at what you are feeding him - is it kibble? No scientist has ever been able to prove that dogs need carbohydrate - yet most kibbles contain a minimum of over 40% (and up to 60%) carbs. Why pay for a bag of food where a minimum of half of it is not only something your dog does not require - but has to work hard to get rid of, and subsequently storing up future illness/disease like pancreatitis etc. Dogs should have a max of around 5% carbs - and this should come in the way of fruits and low carb veg. Are you feeding wet/tinned food? Slightly better but still most is extremely high in carbs and cheap protein. Do you home cook your dogs food - this is usually the second best way to feed - dogs physiology is not that much different to our own - just up the meat content and ensure the vegetables are low carb ones (think veg suitable for keto) spinach/broccoli/cauli/brussels sprouts etc - defo no potatoes/chips/peas etc. Puree any veg you give - if you give chunks of carrot etc - it will reappear in a few hours largely unchanged (and undigested). Dogs have been around for about 40 million years - and up until the last hundred years or so - they have always eaten their food raw. It is how their bodies evolved to utilise the available nutrition. We have around 20ft of intestine (and more) that enables us to cope with carbohydrates - dogs have around 4ft of intestine - not enough to digest carbs. At the end of the day carbs - ALL carbs - turn to sugar - something your dog really does not need. Try changing your dog to a raw diet - up his nutrition, - then if he is still being fussy - let him miss a couple of meals - he will eat eventually - just please make it food that will actually benefit him. However also bear in mind that dogs, like us, get fed up with the same thing day in, day out. How would you like to eat fortified cornflakes every meal for the rest of your life???? Give at least three different proteins (say one a week then change to a different one) Not only will this give your dog variety - but will also go a long way to ensuring that there are no large nutrient gaps. If you trawl through some of the previous posts you will find I have made some suggestions on raw feeding (menus) to give you some ideas. Sites like Dogs Naturally Magazine will also give you some recipes.

Hello Everyone, im a new member here. We just got our first Husky. She has a wild personality and is a very good pup so far. Any tips or advice i can receive from all of you expert husky owners is greatly appreciated. Also im looking for a little information about her coat. We were out walking her the other day and someone had walked over and told us that she is among some of the rarest color coats along with having both blue eyes. I myself had or have no idea. We knew she was pretty but i have no knowledge of husky coat colors. Just looking for any information i can get . Thanks. This is Nova she has just turned 5 months old.

Welcome! Gorgeous dogs. My girl is a hoover as well, it does make things easier, but jeez she is always yelling at us at feeding time.

Afraid I can only repeat Robke - patience and persistence - even to the point of just having her sitting/playing in the front garden with you, and possibly only going further with your daughter's dog as moral support for a couple of weeks.

Welcome to you and beautiful Luna.

it will be yours that is where the trauma is / has been… fireworks can do more harm then some people think... keep it up and hope for the best…what worked with us is a special treat only used for this and nothing else...

Thanks for replying - we keep trying with good treats - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. My daughter sometimes brings her husky and she will generally follow him - but she still stops sometimes. we'll just have to keep trying. She will go out no problem from my daughters house - it's just ours....

My name is Sharon and I have a female husky called Luna who is 3 and a half. She is a stubborn so and so but very loving and I wouldn't have her any other way. She (as are many) is very fussy with her food and eats really slowly - whereas my daughters male husky is like a hoover - LOL.

gentle training with rewards a little bit at the time…just not forcing it otherwise you will be further from home…is my advice… fireworks were one of ours biggest problem and could not get him to go out for a while after but gentle relaxed training helped and would have to be done every time after fireworks had been set off….

My husky has recently started refusing to go out for a walk from my house - we can get her outside and onto the green area then she just tries to back out of her harness or lays down. She got frightened by the fireworks and then she got over it but now we seem to be back to square one. She will go in the car and go elsewhere but still seems to be scared of loud bangs - people slamming their doors etc. I don't know what to try and was hoping someone might be able to give me some ideas. Thanks Sharon

I hope you do not mean two heads of cabbage, - but as you do not state, I took 200 grams as a possible amount. The above is lacking/deficient in the following nutrition: Copper Thiamine Riboflavin Vit D Vit D3 Choline Linoleic Acid LA Alpha Linoleic Acid ALA Arachidonic Acid AA EPA DHA ALA, DHA, EPA are the most important of the Omega 3 fatty acids (read essential). What do you supplement the food with to make up for the above deficiencies?
