New2Husky Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Help! I am getting an 8 week old Husky in a couple weeks and I am a 1st time Husky owner! I have been doing a ton of research on what type of food to start her out on. I understand that a puppy formula is the best option (correct me if I'm wrong). I have been looking at Eagle Pack. Is the Eagle Pack Large Breed Puppy food a good option? I am open to any other dry food options. Also, is 2 cups a day spread out to 3-4 feedings a good place to start? https://www.eaglepack.com/product-orignal-dog.aspx?product=82 I appreciate the help!

2Huskyfun Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 I honestly believe feeding raw or cooked is the best. Mine have food allergies/intolerance to certain foods and my boy has GI disease so there is not a kibble out there that I am satisfied with. I am feeding Instinct Limited Ingredients because of having to reset my boy’s tummy after a blow out. It is good. I would not mind trying their raw line. (But again it has ingredients that my pups can’t have) With that being said if I had normal pups I would like Wilderness, Wellcore, Tastes of the Wild, just to name a few. But just do your research and keep prices in mind. Keep in mind also that Huskies digestion is different then other breeds. I believe I did 2 cups a day split into 4 meals and their treats for training came out of that amount. Anything more than 2 cups caused bad diarrhea. I would some times not even do a traditional meal because the two cups was given throughout the day during training. (This is not wise for potty training LOL it messed up potty times. But mine have a doggy door so I wasn’t concerned about that.) I do try to keep to the traditional diet. Protein: Summer Grassland. Winter fish. Fall and spring Fowl. Are you going to be doing Agility, sledding, or any really high activity? That will make a huge difference in what you feed and how much. 17 minutes ago, robke said: Do not know the food as I am not in the US but I do know huskies are not large breed... Here they are considered large breed. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏽♀️. We only have small breed or large breed in puppy food. I think the line is at 50 here. I don’t get it or know why. I assume it is to sell more at a higher price. O and kibble size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
