What Preparations Are Needed to Raise an Alaskan Malamute? As one of the three sled dog idiots, before raising it, of course, one must make full preparations.

1. What Preparations Are Needed to Raise an Alaskan Malamute? The Alaskan Malamute (detailed introduction) is a large dog (Huskies are medium-sized dogs) and eats a huge amount!!! So the first requirement is definitely having money! Around 40 jin (about 20 kg) of dog food per month is easily consumed. For its nutritional needs, sometimes large pieces of chicken, beef, or salmon are fed to promote better coat growth. So, truly raising an Alaskan Malamute requires a lot of money...

2. What Preparations Are Needed to Raise an Alaskan Malamute? The Alaskan Malamute is a large sled dog that needs a large living space and lots of exercise. So the second requirement is also money... If the house is too small, the Alaskan will feel very cramped. If the activity space is too small and exercise needs are unmet, it will vent its frustration by destroying the house. Also, a lot of time must be spent daily walking the dog to keep its exercise sufficient. Otherwise, it will have adverse effects physically and psychologically. It’s like humans being imprisoned, confined in a cell without enough freedom and activity... So, truly raising an Alaskan Malamute requires a lot of money...

      3. What Preparations Are Needed to Raise an Alaskan Malamute? What is an Alaskan Malamute? A sled! dog! It! The snowy northern regions are their best living environment. The south is too hot and humid, which not only makes the Alaskan miserable and prone to heatstroke but can also cause serious skin and other health problems. Poor brain cooling will make them act silly and destructive like Huskies...

4. What Preparations Are Needed to Raise an Alaskan Malamute? What is an Alaskan Malamute? A sled! dog! Therefore, their coat is especially thick and difficult to manage. Also, being a large dog with a double coat, you definitely can't bathe such a big dog alone... Even if you can, drying it takes about an hour... Bathing takes two hours... Taking it to a groomer? Bathing fees for large dogs are usually two to three hundred (yuan). Although one bath a month is enough, the fur needs to be brushed weekly. The shedding is heavy, especially during spring-summer and autumn-winter seasons, and the collected shedding could make a quilt... So, what you need is your energy and patience.

      What Preparations Are Needed to Raise an Alaskan Malamute? The above are only the most basic requirements. A responsible owner must also consider the dog’s diet, full-body care, medical care, psychological care, and so forth. So what is most needed is the owner’s sense of responsibility. After all, the dog’s ten-plus years of life are entrusted to you!
