Many people have heard that Huskies do not eat salt well, so they do not add any salt when making dog food for their Huskies, fearing that the Huskies may damage their stomach and kidneys. It turns out that this approach is wrong. Huskies still need a certain amount of salt.

Husky (Definite Introduction)

As we all know, if people lack salt, they can easily cause physical fatigue. It turns out that Huskies are also common. Salt deficiency is not only prone to fatigue, but can also cause symptoms such as stunted growth and development, dull coat, hair loss, and dry skin.

According to the standard value analysis guidance of the NRC (U.S. Feed Nutrition Standard), the salt content in dog food currently sold in the market is generally around 1.3-1.4%.

Feeding a Husky dog ​​salty food for a long time will irritate the dog's stomach and kidneys, but if the dog's food does not contain enough salt, it will also cause a decrease in its physical strength. Salt contains a small amount of magnesium and calcium, which are indispensable substances for dogs to survive. If the husky does not eat salt, it will not survive. So, how much salt is appropriate for a husky dog?

Generally speaking, a dog weighing 1 kilogram should have a daily salt intake of 0.4 to 0.7 mg.

If 1kg body weight requires about 20g of dog food per day, a 20kg husky needs to eat 400g of dog food per day.

After conversion, the amount of salt required is about 5.6g.

It can be seen that when we give Huskies independent meals, it is appropriate to add about 1.4% of salt.

If you feel that Little Ha is still lacking salt, you can add salt to its drinking water at intervals every week to compensate.
