A reasonable ratio of food for puppies is 35% meat, 33% grains, 30% fruits and vegetables, and 2% additives, but it is very difficult to achieve the above reasonable nutritional ratio for home-made food. And dog food is produced according to this nutritional ratio, so for Alaskan Malamutes, the best food is dog food.

In addition, it is best to feed Alaskan dogs with dry food, try not to give priority to soup. 3 months ago, puppy food (including dog food) should be completely soaked in water.

The Alaskan Malamute's stomach is not very good, so it can't eat too greasy things. It is best not to have oil in the dog food or rice that Alaskan dogs eat. Due to the intestinal problems of puppies, in the feeding process, it is necessary to choose special food for puppies on the market. As the Alaskan dog continues to grow, the dog food should be gradually transitioned to adult dog food.

Because of the uniqueness of the stomach of Alaskan dogs, remember not to feed too much at one time. It is also necessary to ensure that the feeding is regular, do not eat a full meal and starve one meal, which is easy to cause gastric torsion and gastric bleeding, and is not conducive to the absorption of nutrients. Be sure to eat small and frequent meals (puppies 3 to 4 times a day).
