Veterinarians suggest feeding your dog twice daily, as opposed to once a day, because it allows a more easy, healthy digestion. Siberian huskies are bred to be runners, and they require large amounts of food when active, especially when in their natural working mode as a sled-dog. Less active huskies, most of which are adopted as stay at home pets instead of sled-pullers and runners, tend to eat less because when inactive they are burning less energy and calories, and therefore need less food.

I had a 60 lb. male husky who I would feed 3 cups a day, 1.5 cups in the morning around 6am and 1.5 cups in the evening around 6pm. I now have a 45 lb. female husky (females tend to be 10-15 pounds lighter than males) who I also feed at 6am and 6pm, but she eats about 2.5 cups of food a day, 1.25 cups at each meal. For any other questions about how much to feed your dog daily, refer to the weight chart on the back of your dog's food. For puppies, you may also refer to the chart, or, because of their rapid growth rate and different sizes even within the same litter, consult your veterinarian.

From my knowledge with having a one year old Siberian husky, feeding the pup three bowls of one cup a day usually work for my dog. Granted, our dog is not an over eater and all dogs are different.

Best advice?

Set up a scheduled time every day to feed the pup and adjust it to their needs, also be sure that they're not an over eater and watch them closely for the first few sessions to make sure they're actually chewing their food.

Practically all dog food packaging (at least that sold in the US) includes a chart showing how much to feed a dog based on their weight and age. One such chart indicates that a 21-50 pound puppy over 20 weeks old should be fed 3-6 cups of food a day, based on a standard 8-ounce dry measuring cup. For a pup under a year old weighing 51-100 pounds (which probably includes your husky), the amount goes up to 8-10 cups a day. This estimate is sure to be on the generous side, since these guidelines are self-serving. 80 ounces is quite a lot of food per day - and after all, the more you feed your dog, the more often you'll need to buy the food! If you doubt the accuracy of such a guideline, check with a vet's office. They should be willing to answer such a question on the phone. I've learned from experience that a good alternative to feeding a "fixed" amount is to give a puppy access to a full bowl of food twice a day, and let him eat until his interest wanes. When it does, that's an indication that he's had enough, and you should pick up the remaining food. If he empties the bowl and eagerly sniffs around for more, you might oblige him with another half-bowl or so, but be aware...if you let them, many pups will eat more than they really should. This approach helps you determine what their needs are as opposed to their wants, and also helps them learn what and when "dinnertime" is, getting them on a schedule that's compatible with yours. Whatever guideline you use, watch your pup closely over time for any signs that they are underweight (a "pinched" look or prominent ribs) or overweight (their sides bulge or bow outward) and adjust the amount of food accordingly.

An easy rule of thumb is: if you can see a dog's ribs, he's too thin; if you can't feel his ribs, he's too fat.

How much a husky will eat in a day will depend on the husky's lifestyle and the food available. Our adult husky will have 120g of high protein kibble twice a day but I am sure she would eat until she burst if we let her.

They usually eat one or two meals a day. And they don't very much anyway.

How much does a Siberian husky puppy's food cost monthly?

There are many variables in feeding a Siberian Husky. The cost would depend on the quality of food you are feeding the puppy. The better the food the healthier dog your puppy will grow up to be. For a decent puppy food a rough amount would be $55.00 for a 40lb. bag of food. If one puppy eats two or three cups a day you could expect to pay $40.00 to $50.00 a month for the food. This will increase when the dog gets larger and requires more food. This is a very rough estimate, actual cost of food can vary greatly as can the amount of food that the puppy eats.

What do i feed my 6week old Siberian husky puppy?

Puppies shouldn't be sold until at least eight weeks old because they still are learning important lessons from parents and siblings, feed him puppy food designed for a large breed or just regular puppy food and also broil water and keep the food in it until the food is bigger in size and until the water cools down to be warm .Because they cant chew hard foods
