Overweight Alaskan Malamute Husky !?
Hey everyone,
I am looking for a very specific answer to a very specific question lol. It might seems a little bit funny but I really googled it and I cannot find exatly what I am looking for. So here is my question ; A few months ago I went to the vet with Loki my Alaskan Malamute Husky. Loki was not the smallest of the litter, nor the biggest. Loki exercises a good 2 hours a day, without leash, in the woods. More precisely, we live on a mountain, so the woods are full of '' hills ' and there are no easy path ![]() MY question is mainly, she said Loki was starting to be OVERWEIGHT !!! I could NOT believe it... she says oh yess look around his chest how round it is seems like Mr got a lil' tire ! Well, turns out that after looking at thousandssssss of pictures over the internet, I just can't find him... big. I mean 9 months old, over weight !? WE might not buy the most expensive food, but we sure don't buy the cheapest. Loki eats about 5 cups of dry food to 7 or 8 depending on the days. He has food at all times, but he can spend sometimes up to 10 hours before he goes for a bite. Sometimes he will go trough 4 cups in a 24hours. I mean, he really doesn't eat that much. With all the play fetch, thug of was, hiking in the woods we do DAILY without a mistake every day since DAY 1, I really have a hard time to believe it. SO now Loki is a year and a week old. We are going to the vet monday to see his exact weight. This morning I took his measurments and tried to look it up but couldn't find anything. I would just like to hear opinions... and advice ? Or experiences with your malamute if he was bigger than a usual one. SO I would think he weighs more than 90 pounds now, 35'' inches Chest circumference 27'' inches hips 20'' inches neck Here's Loki a couple weeks ago, '' helping us '' cord the firewood ![]() http://imgur.com/a/XkEux Thank you very much, I know I wrote alot but I just want to make sure I don't over feed him, or you know I want to take good care of my big fury baby to the best of my capacities ![]() ![]() |
