The Akita is energetic, robust, and majestic. It is very loyal to its owner, has a stable temperament, and is very brave. Many people want to have an Akita after watching the faithful dog Hachiko. So, is the Akita easy to raise? Akita raising tips.

The Akita is a cute and smile-loving animal. Because of their personality and other reasons, adult Akitas are very loyal.

Some friends have a misconception that training Akitas for guarding or hunting is necessary, but this is completely unnecessary because no matter how you train them, it is difficult to make them reach such a level.

For owners, we need to understand the temperament of our pets, and the Akita’s personality is like a child’s, needing the owner’s care and attention. Additionally, Akitas naturally love exercise, so we need to take them out often to exercise and see the outside world.

For Akitas, feeding adult dogs is different from puppies. Adult dogs have a more developed digestive system, so we only need to feed them 2 to 3 times a day. If it is an adult male Akita, the daily amount is about 3 jin (1.5 kg), and for females, 2 jin (1 kg) of food is enough. It is best to complement the feeding with some lean meat, egg yolk, vegetables, etc.

When preparing meals for the dog each time, we need to ensure as balanced nutrition as possible. This not only helps maintain a healthy body but also enhances physical fitness. Balanced nutrition can also make the Akita’s coat more beautiful.

With adequate nutrition, the dog also needs sufficient exercise. Only by combining the two can the Akita have a healthy and strong body. Sometimes the dog exercises on grass, which might cause parasites on its body, so regular deworming is necessary.

In daily life, we also need to groom the dog’s coat frequently. The Akita’s fur is not as difficult to comb as other long-haired dogs, but it still needs daily brushing to prevent its fur from tangling.
