Husky Diet

No, I don’t mean a special diet for chubby puppies. I mean the things that a Husky likes to eat. Huskies are pretty much omnivores. They will eat dirt, rocks, sticks, plants, lizards, frogs and maybe the occasional cat (just kidding on the last one).


Everyone knows that dogs love human food. Maybe it’s because they just want to be like us or maybe they know that what we eat is just so tasty. But, most of what we eat is not good for our dogs. A lot of what we love is actually poisonous to them. Now preventing them from eating human food is partly not giving it to them and partly giving them tasty alternatives.

I don’t know why I worry about Cane’s palate but he’s part of the family now and there’s no reason to leave him out of the goodness (even though he eats dirt).

When we adopted Cane we had been mixing Pokey & Lacey’s favorite dog food (Kibbles & Bits) with the veterinarian recommended Science Diet. So we figured why not try it with Cane. He seems to like it so that’s what we’re sticking with. We use about a 50/50 mix.

We also use Milk Bones for regular treats and a variety of soft chews for training and special occasions. And since there is a debate on how healthy rawhide is, we usually limit him to one very small rawhide a week.

Now on to the point of this story; Cane frikken loves ice cream. Cane’s Gramdma bought a product called Frosty Paws for him. It’s basically ice cream for dogs in little individual serving cups. Now I’m not sure what they’re made of but they are formulated to give dogs the wonderful feeling of dessert without the stuff that’s bad for them. Plus they feel like they’re getting the same stuff the humans have.

A couple of disclaimers:

1. As with all treats, use in moderation.

2. If you are a human, don’t taste them. Trust me on this one.
