Do you know what is good for Alaskan Malamutes to eat and what they cannot eat? Don't worry, Petszone editor will explain it to you one by one!

1. What is good for Alaskan Malamutes to eat

1.Staple food:

For Alaskan Malamute puppies, they are generally weaned at 45 days old. Before 2 months old, feed them large breed puppy-specific dog food soaked in goat's milk (goat milk powder). Before 4 months old, soak large breed puppy dog food in warm water to feed. From 4 to 6 months, you can mix large breed puppy dog food with human food. After 6 months, you can feed them with human food. To help Alaskan Malamutes grow fast and big, supplementing nutrition is very important. Dog food, as the main daily food, must be carefully selected by pet owners. If dog food lacks nutrition, it cannot help Alaskan Malamutes supplement nutrients; as a result, they will find it difficult to grow tall and strong. It is recommended that pet owners choose natural dog food rich in vitamins.

2.Supplementary food:

At 2 months old, you can start feeding some supplementary food, which means snacks, generally including: cooked meat, offal, fruits, and vegetables. The more diverse the snacks, the better, and they should generally be natural animal and plant-based. The amount of supplementary food should not be large, and do not feed too much at once. If the pet owner has time, they can make some homemade nutritious food at home for the Alaskan Malamute to eat.

2. What Alaskan Malamutes cannot eat

1.Chocolate

Chocolate and similar foods rich in theobromine are unhealthy for pet dogs. They severely affect the dog's heart and central nervous system and reduce blood flow to the brain.

2.Onions, garlic

Onions, garlic, and similar foods are also not suitable for Alaskan Malamutes. Garlic and onions contain large amounts of sulfides that can destroy dogs' red blood cells and may cause hemolytic anemia. The abundant disulfides can oxidize pet dogs' red blood cells.

3.Small sharp bones from chicken, duck, fish, etc.

These bones have very sharp ends and are very small. Such foods easily pierce the dog's throat or cut the dog's mouth, esophagus, stomach, or intestines. Severe cases can cause internal bleeding, threatening the dog's life.

4.Milk

Milk easily causes flatulence, diarrhea, dehydration, or skin inflammation in Alaskan Malamutes.

5.Raw meat

Raw meat should not be fed to Alaskan Malamutes. Raw meat contains many E. coli and Salmonella bacteria, which can harm the dog's digestive system.

6.Salt

A teaspoon of salt per kilogram for a dog is potentially fatal,and excessive salt intake can also cause hair loss, skin allergies, and sores.

The above are the foods Alaskan Malamutes can and cannot eat. Hopefully, this can help pet owners who have Alaskan Malamutes at home.
